FROM DAN BEARD COUNCIL: Join us for our Wake Up The Blob event where we will offer units the opportunity to come out prior to camp and have some fun on the blob. The purpose of this event will be to facilitate a number of swim tests prior to your unit’s arrival at Camp Friedlander. Due to National Standards, with respect to Aquatics Supervision, we are only able to operate at a 10 (participant) to 1 (BSA Lifeguard) ratio. With this to consider, we are requiring pre-registration for this event.

The itinerary is still getting worked
out as reservations will be made in the next month.
Dates:  July 10th - 14th
Reservations have been made for (3) campsites at Ohiopyle State
Park.   These Scouts & Leaders are a definite for High

The Merit Badge Counselor list has been updated and is attached below. When you go into the spreadsheet, the tabs at the bottom are labeled "WhitewaterTrails MB's" and "Troop 857 MB's". The Whitewater Trails MB's are those counselors in our District and the Troop 857 MB's has listed all our very own MB counselors! (Remember a Scout is Trustworthy, please do not share this list with anyone to protect the privacy of these volunteers.)

As of 4-13-25: Prereqs for MB's at summer camp are still not available. We will get these to the scouts as soon as we can.
