Summer Campers, 

It’s that time again to get ready for summer camp.  The cost this year is $295, $265 camp fee, $5 tent fee and $25 for gas.  A $100 deposit is needed by February 12^th. 

Slippery Falls is doing merit badges different this year.  There having a Flexible merit badge program.  Here is what they say about the program:

Flexible Merit Badge Program

Kerr Scout Ranch is excited to introduce a flexible program schedule this year. We offer a

“blended” program where scouts can choose their own goals and schedule for the week.

Scouts can participate in any number of merit badges and camp programs, accomplishing

tasks that will help them advance in rank.

The Schedule

Most merit badge instruction takes place in an open program setting. Some program areas

and merit badges are scheduled in sessions due to popularity, attendance requirements, or

resource needs and are available for online sign-up. Any remaining available slots may be

signed up for on Sunday.

Merit badges and programs are labeled in this guide from 1-3. These ratings are

recommendations to help scouts plan their goals for the week. A 1 rating means the merit

badge can be completed in a few hours’ time and is perfect for first year scouts. A 2 rating

takes 2-3 days and can challenge returning scouts. A 3 rating is for experienced scouts,

takes more than 3 days to complete, and usually has age or other limitations. These will

take the most time and dedication.

Friday does not have any scheduled sessions, but Scouts will have open program to

complete unfinished requirements on Friday morning.

So that being said some merit badges you have to sign up for and some you just show up and do them.

I will send a list of the merit badges shortly.
