Welcome Scouts and Scouters to Camp Geronimo!

Camp Geronimo is a traditional Boy Scout Resident Camp, that has been in operation for more than 60 years. At 5200 feet above sea level and surrounded by one of the world’s largest Ponderosa Pine forests, Geronimo is tucked in at the base of the historic Mogollon Rim north of Payson. This area was a favorite place of famous author Zane Grey. Grey wrote many adventure style books, some of his most famous covered the early years of the territory that would eventually become the State of Arizona. Geronimo is a place of fun and tradition, that 2nd and 3rd generations of scouts from some of our local scout units look forward to each summer. We offer many traditional camp merit badges at our Sunday to Saturday camp. Our schedule is packed full of different activities for your scouts, as well as for the adult leadership. We also boast a high adventure style program for your older participants. The 2018 program has a few changes from previous years, which we are excited to share with you. Come check us out! On behalf of the Grand Canyon Council, Boy Scouts of America, the Staff at Geronimo would like to thank you, the committee member, scoutmaster, or parent, for your time and dedication to the positive development of the youth in your charge.

GENERAL ASSEMBLIES / FLAG CEREMONIESOne of the great camp traditions at Camp Geronimo is the camp-wide General Assembly/Flag Ceremony. These assemblies will be your opportunity to show off your Troop spirit by looking sharp in full uniform and by creating spirit yells while you are waiting for the assembly to begin. General announcements will also take place at that time. Troops will be given the opportunity to lead the morning and evening Flag Ceremony. ***Full Field uniform for the evening camp-wide ceremonies.

UNIFORMSWhy do Boy Scouts have a uniform? For the same reason a football team or baseball team does. A uniform gives a sense of group identity, team spirit, and purpose. It also helps to promote equality from the start among members within a group. At camp, the official Scout uniform is appropriate dress at any time during the week. We ask units to wear a full Field uniform to all evening Flag ceremonies, Dinners, Chapel services and campfires. ***Full Field uniform consists of: Scout shirt with appropriate patches, Scout belt and pants or shorts with scout socks. Neckerchiefs and hats are up to the discretion of the troop, but must be uniformly present or absent.

Please Note: Do Not wear uniform when your troop has KP duty.

LEADERS, FLAG & UNIFORMS

2nd Shift Units on this side will go in through the North Door 2nd Shift Units on this side will go in through the South Door

LEADERS MEETINGThere will be an opening leader’s meeting on Monday at Noon down at the Commissioners Shack. Come and have a BBQ Lunch, and receive important information for the week. Following that, there will be leader’s meetings at the same location at 11 AM on Wednesday, and Friday. These meetings are an important source of information and a time to ask questions of our senior staff members. Please send at least one representative from your unit to each meeting.

Senior Patrol Leaders will meet immediately following the Emergency Drill on Sunday. After that they will meet on an as needed basis throughout the week with the Camp Commissioner.

DINING HALL INFORMATION

MERIT BADGE PROGRAM

Summer camp has traditionally been viewed as a convenient place where Scouts can earn several merit badges in a short amount of time. During your stay at Camp Geronimo you will see that we offer not only merit badges but much, much more. During their week at camp, Scouts will grow mentally, physically, and spiritually as they interact with their peers in a safe and positive environment that revolves around recreational swimming, hiking, shooting, campfires, and games. Though advancement is still integral to your summer camp experience, we encourage and offer opportunities for much more than organized lessons. We encourage all our units to take advantage of these opportunities.

MERIT BADGESAll badges will be taught based on the requirements found in the most recent edition of the BSA’s requirement book. Please check to make sure your merit badge books contain the same requirements. Campers seeking to take a merit badge must pre-register online through the registration system for our morning Merit Badge classes. It is the responsibility of each Scout to choose and prepare for each merit badge that he wishes to take in advance of his week at camp. Prerequisites exist for many of the badges and are outlined in this guide. To prevent partials, please make sure your Scouts come to camp with these prerequisites completed and appropriate proof of completion (i.e. examples of their work or a note from their Scoutmaster). To ensure quality and safe instruction, class sizes are limited according to the number of instructors, equipment, and other factors. We also offer additional merit badge opportunities in the afternoon, where scouts can earn additional merit badges as well. Please note, not all merit badges will be offered in the afternoon. Please refer to our Merit Badge listings for those offered. Remind Scouts to complete prerequisites prior to camp.

Our Merit Badges are tracked online through the registration system. You do not need to bring Blue Cards with you. You will receive an electronic print out of the Merit Badges your scouts have completed or not completed when you check out. You will then receive instructions, regarding electronic bluecards, in your troop check-out packet prior to leaving camp.

DIFFICULTY SCALEAdvanced Badge: badges in this category are the most difficult to complete at summer camp due to the course content, number of prerequisites, and expected ability level of the Scouts. Advanced badges are highly recommended for your oldest Scouts who are First Class and above.

Moderate Badge: badges in this category can be easily earned at camp by experienced Scouts but have a few prerequisites to complete at home.

Basic Badge: badges in this category have few, if any, prerequisites. These courses are excellent for Scouts of all ages and ability levels.

MERIT BADGE PROGRAM CONT.

Geronimo provides many separate classes each week as part of its camp program. From Basketry and Nature to Archaeology, Horsemanship, and a multitude of Eagle Required badges, the Geronimo program provides a diversity of choices for your Scouts. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about our merit badge program:

How do Scouts signup for badges?

Units will sign their Scouts up for badges using the online registration system. Units will receive an email prior to the April 15th merit badge system launch. Instructions will be provided regarding merit badge registration.

Do Scouts have to take both hours of a 2-hour class consecutively?

Yes. Scouts must take both hours of a two-hour class sequentially and may not divide up those hours. Two-hour classes include Horsemanship, Rifle, and Climbing, among others.

Are there classes that are not merit badges?

Yes. Beginner Swimming, and Mile Swim are all skill certifications and not merit badges. Open Swim, offered each day, is also not a badge or certification.

Do Brownsea Island Scouts do any merit badges?

Yes. Brownsea Island is a half day, all-week program focused on imparting Scouting’s essential skills and methods onto your newest Scouts and getting them requirements for Scout through First Class. Because of the program’s focus, Scouts in Brownsea do not have much time to earn merit badges. However, BSI Scouts will take First Aid and Swimming Merit Badges in the afternoon.

If they already have those merit badges, other arrangements can be made when they arrive at camp during check in.

How do I make changes to my Scouts’ schedules?

Changes can be made online until the Friday prior to arrival at camp and with the Program Director at camp during check-in.

Merit Badge Prerequisites and Fees?

Please read through the merit badge descriptions at the end of this guide. If a scout wishes to complete the merit badge at camp, then he must provide evidence of completing the listed prerequisites! Kits and supplies can be purchased at our Trading Post.

ADULT LEADER TRAINING

BROWNSEA ISLAND ADVENTURE for New Scouts

Camp Geronimo is proud to offer a wide array of beginner and advanced courses for our adult leaders. From SM/ASM Specifics and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills. Camp Geronimo has a dedicated Scoutmaster Program Director, ensuring that the adult leaders in your unit have plenty to do.

Brownsea Island Adventure is the “NEW” Camp Geronimo first year camper program. Dividing the participants into patrols that work with an experienced Scout (Life or Eagle) throughout the week, Brownsea Island teaches Scouts the essentials of Scouting in a fun, interactive, and competitive program. The Brownsea Island program is a model for first year camper programs around the nation and has been shown to help units retain Scouts for longer, making your unit stronger.

Scouts in Brownsea Island will be in the program all day and should register for it in all time blocks during online registration. BSI Scouts will take First Aid and Swimming merit badges in the afternoon. If they already have those merit badges, other arrangements can be made when they arrive at camp.

For more information, please read the Brownsea Island Leader Guide located under forms on the Camp Geronimo webpage.

A Camp Geronimo tradition is the Chief Miller’s Trail to Roosevelt Peak. The trail & award, named for George F. “Chief ” Miller, is a strenuous award to earn. This hike is part of the Spade Ranch Program, BUT is also open to Adult Leaders. The Miller’s Trail Hike is scheduled on Wednesday at 8:00AM departing with a Staff guide from the Trading Post. Ask your Camp Commissioner for details.

Levi Young Nature TrailThe Levi Young Nature Trail is available as part of the Nature Lodge program. Scouts can learn about the trees and plants of Camp Geronimo.

NIGHT EYE TRAILS

Cat Eye • Eagle Eye • Fool’s Eye • Golden Eye

Hawk Eye • Owl Eye • Private Eye • Tiger Eye

These evening compass courses are introductory hikes, designed to provide experience and adventure on the trail for boys who are new to Scouting and Camp Geronimo. A compass, a good flashlight and determination make these night hikes fun for young and old alike.

Start with the Cat Eye for the new Scouts and let them work their way up through these hikes of varying difficulty to give your Scouts a challenge.

Camp Geronimo Night Eye Trails signup may be submitted at Camp Headquarters during or after check-in.

A Few Hints for the Eyes!

• Take along flashlights with GOOD batteries.

• Arrange your Scouts in patrols of no more than 6 people.

• Each patrol looks for and spots one set of eyes glowing in the distance.

• Each Scout leads the patrol to the next eyes and retires to the rear. This way, all the boys get several turns.

• Watch for eyes of various colors. Many will be red, but others may be white, green, or yellow.

• Upon reaching a pair of eyes: STOP... take your next compass reading, follow the bearing.

• If the trail seems to disappear, a few “Scouts” may be sent out to find where it picks up again. Remember; leave several scouts at the last pair of eyes spotted.

• Verify previous bearing before continuing

The end of each trail is a definite location and requires a written answer. Your Camp Commissioner will verify your success.

ADVANCEMENT

Summer camp has traditionally been viewed as a convenient place where Scouts can earn several merit badges in a short amount of time. At Geronimo, however, we offer much more than merit badges. During their week at camp, Scouts will grow mentally, physically, and spiritually as they interact with their peers in a safe and positive environment that revolves around recreational swimming, hiking, shooting, campfires, sports, and games. Though advancement is still integral to our summer camp experience, we encourage and offer opportunities for much more than organized lessons. We encourage all our units to take advantage of these opportunities.

GENERAL CAMP INFO

SWITCHING LEADERS AND VISITORS IN CAMPWe understand that taking an entire week off to come to camp can be difficult for our adult leaders and we welcome adults to switch out mid-week. However, it is important that your unit does not exceed the number of adult spots that it paid for. For example, a unit that pays for 3 adult leaders cannot have more than 3 adults spending the night or eating meals at one time. A new leader coming in must sign in and obtain a colored wristband from Headquarters when he or she arrives. The adult that is leaving must also sign out at Camp Headquarters.

All visitors coming in for the day must sign in at Headquarters and receive a visitor’s wristband. If they plan to eat meals in the Dining Hall, they should pay for them there and receive a special wristband that will serve as their meal ticket. Visitors cannot spend the night at camp without paying the entire adult registration fee for a week at camp. We do not prorate our fees for nightly stays. No pets are allowed.

Please also keep in mind the new change to national camp policy. All Adult leaders attending camp MUST be a registered member of the troop.

Visitor Meals Prices: $7.00 Breakfast / $9.00 Lunch / $12.00 Dinner

WILDLIFECamp Geronimo is a habitat for an abundance of wildlife ranging from raccoons to snakes, dangerous insects and bears. In observance of their habitat and in an effort to avoid endangering these animals and our customers, we have a strict wildlife management policy. The Camp Ranger reserves the right to fine any violators of our policy, which is described in the Camp Administration Guide.

TENT DAMAGEOur canvas wall tents and Adirondacks are inspected weekly as part of the checkout process for any damage. All damage to tents when you arrive at camp must be reported to your campsite commissioner on the first day. Any new damage to tents caused by your unit will result in a charge of $25 per inch of damage. Please do not attempt to repair damaged tents yourself, the commissioner staff must be notified as soon as possible. Duct Tape should never be used to patch tents.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASEThe Grand Canyon Council takes the safety and welfare of its staff and participants very seriously. As such, all units will be asked if anyone has experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever-like symptoms during the week prior to camp starting. Please ask any Scouts or adults with symptoms like these to stay home so that we may protect the welfare of all those at camp. The Health Officers may quarantine entire units, as well as campsites, if they suspect a risk of contagion.
