Merit Badge Classes will be limited to 10 to 20 Scouts (discretion of the Merit Badge Counselors) on a first “paid” first choice basis.

Merit Badge classes are selected through the online registration process. Once a badge class has been filled, it will be removed from the registration form.

Please select merit badges carefully it will not be possible to switch your badge.

Some Merit Badges will require morning and afternoon sessions and can take Scouts away from other activities.

Merit Badge Books are the responsibility of the Troop and/or Scouts to purchase. Scouts should read the merit badge book.

Merit Badge Preparations: We recommend that Troops schedule pre-merit badge work. Scouts that complete the Merit

Badges prerequisite have a greater chance of completing the badge at the camporee.

Use Troop Meetings and assign an adult to work with the Scouts on the prerequisite.

Scouts should obtain the Merit Badge Book, read it and then are encouraged to complete as much of the worksheets they can prior to the weekend. This will help give the scout a better understand-ing of requirements and be useful notes for classroom discussions. Worksheets can be found at meritbadge.org or just “googled” for worksheets.

Please do not start pre-work until it is verified that the Scout has been accepted into that class. Alert: It may not be possible to complete all of a merit badge requirements at the camporee.

Scouts can arrange follow-up sessions with the merit badge counselors.

Blue Cards: Each Scout must bring a signed Merit Badge Blue Card to his class. The blue cards will then be returned to the Scoutmasters (signed by the MB Counselor) in a packet. Please make sure the Blue Card is properly completed with Troop and Troop number so that we can return it to the appropriate Scoutmasters.

Off Camp Merit Badges requires a sign parent permission slip found in this guidebook. There are no extra fees for these merit badges.

Merit Badge Counselors Wanted: We are looking for Merit Badge counselors for each of the above merit badges. We hope that as classes get filled up, we can offer a second class. Merit Badge Counselors must be properly registered, Youth Protection Trained, and have completed Merit Badge Counselor Training. CYC has set up online Merit Badge Counselor Training at http://archive.ctyankee.org/fs/

page/002641/meritbadgecounselorthe_essentials-2017rev0420a.pdf and there is a national course through my.scouting.org.

Cell Phone/Tablets/Laptops/Other: There are no programs requiring Cell Phones. Troops can enforce their own rules. Programming MB is the only merit badge needing a laptop, otherwise at the discretion of the Troop. Troops are responsible for the security of any device brought to camporee. We recommend designating one car to lock up and se-cure these items.

ment form with the proper signatures, or use internet advancement to record this and submit a copy to your lo-cal council.

Photo Ultimate Tournament at ConnJam

Spring Camporee organized Tournament:

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Awards

Each Troop can register one team.

Smaller troops can combine with another

troop.

Ultimate relies on sportsmanship, invoking the

"Spirit of the Game" to maintain fair play. Ulti-

mate players will demonstrate mutual respect

for teammates and opponents alike, which de-

velops character, leadership, self-reliance, and

conflict -resolution skills.

This would be a youth-led activity. The

honor system works in ultimate, just like in

Scouting. Typically, there are no officials.

Players are responsible for playing fair, call-

ing their own fouls, and making their own out

-of-bounds calls.

Team Captains would form a Counseling

Board to organize the Tournament.

Each team will consist of youth (under 18

years of age) properly registered.

Round-robin tournament will be organized

A regulation game has 7 players on each

team. Each team can have up to 11 to al-

low for substitutes.

We would allow smaller Troops/Crew to

combine youth to make up a team.

Each team would register a team captain

and one adult to serve as a team advisor.

We are limiting to 9 TEAMS on a first

signup basis.

ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT

At the Spring Camporee

Each Team that plays in the Ultimate Tournament will receive an Ultra-Star disc. With its contoured grip and aerody-namic engineering, the Discraft Ultra-Star is easier to throw and goes farther than other Ultimate Frisbee disc brands. The 175g Ultra-Star (10.75" diameter) is the official disc of USA Ultimate and the choice of Ultimate

teams worldwide for casual, league, and tournament play. Longer distance: The Discraft Ultra-Star flies further than any other Ultimate Frisbee disc.

Superior stability: The Discraft Ultra-Star maintains your release angle longer than any other disc designed for

both throwing and catching. Advanced Aerodynamics: With its contoured grip and aerodynamic engineering, the Discraft Ultra-Star is easier

to throw at all levels of play from a throw on the beach to a World Championship Ultimate Frisbee match.

CHANGED to lower Hoyt 3 Marchant Rd entrance

Starts 8:30 AM Saturday – Ends 10 AM Sunday

The WOW Program

Bears becoming Webelos and all Webelos are invited to experience an overnight Scouts BSA campout. Have fun in the outdoors, learn camping skills, work on Webelos Pins, and meet Scouts and adult leaders from your neighborhood Troops.

When you get to camp, you will form Patrols and then do everything together using the Scout Patrol Method. You'll setup campsites, have a campfire, cook your dinner, participate in lots of fun activities, and work on Webelos and Arrow of Light rank re-quirements.

All you’ll need is a tent, sleeping bag, ground pad or air mattress, mess kit and clothing for the overnight.

Saturday lunch and dinner and a light Sunday break-fast will be provided.

The event is for current Bears (those that will be We-belos in the fall) and all Webelos. Younger Cub Scouts or siblings may not participate.

Highlights: Webelos Adventure Pins BB Shoot and Archery Hikes STEM/Nova Workshops Meet the Troops – Webelos Patrol Competi-

tions Star Gazing Party, Campfire, Movie, and more

Here is where we need help from our Troops: Older Scouts to serve as the Senior Patrol for

our Webelos Troop, ASPL, and Patrol Leaders. Great opportunities for former SPL’s and cur-rent JASM’s. Scouts should be First Class and above. It’s helpful that Scouts are 2 or 3 years older than the Webelos age. Do you have Scouts that are looking to

serve on a Summer Camp Staff? Here’s a great opportunity to Staff an event and use it as a reference. We can provide the ref-erence.

Host a Meet the Troop Station from 3 to 4 pm. A quick “show and do” skill competition at your campsite. Powahay Webelos will visit Powahay Troops and Scatacook Webelos will visit Scatacook Troops.

Teach Webelos Adventure Pins Help with Saturday Night Foil Cooking

We are also looking for a Troop or Troops to host or co-host the Webelos WOW. Scouts will still be able to participate in the Scouts BSA Camporee program but the troop will help us with the logistical support of the WOW.
