Welcome to Winter Camp 2014
For our fellow Scouts and Scouters: In the pages before you is an exciting
program being offered at Camp Edgewood! We have worked diligently to
modify our program in order for everyone to have an awesome winter camp
experience. As you read through the guide, you will notice many exciting
options for Scouts and Scouters alike. We hope you find our winter camp
experience to be as exciting as we do!
Schedule of Fees for Winter Camp
Troop Deposit - $100.00 to reserve site (With Troop Reservation Form)
Troop Deposit Due By October 17, 2014
Scout Fee - $125 per Scout due by Nov 10th
Late Scout Fee -$150 per Scout after Nov 10th
TROOP SCOUT FEES MUST BE PAID IN FULL BY DUE DATES
TO GUARANTEE PRICES
Cancellation Fee of $70 after Nov 10th
Program-Specific Materials
Please read through the informational portion of the Leader’s Guide to determine any additional
materials that may need to be purchased from the Trading Post in order to complete the merit
badge. If class minimums are not met by the beginning of camp, the Camp Director and
Program Director reserve the right to cancel a particular session to allow effective use of the
Camp Staff.
Campsite Reservation
At Camp Edgewood, there are several options for camping accommodations. We offer you the
opportunity to camp in your own tent, sleep in an Adirondack, or try out one of our screened
cabins. Cabins and Adirondacks are available on a first come first serve basis. Please request
your campsite preference when completing the Troop Registration Form, and we will do our best
to accommodate you.
Scouts with Physical Disabilities have the option of using Campsite 14, which is a fully
accessible Campsite for those in need. Scouts with disabilities, along with their Troop, will be
given priority access to Campsite 14 when campsites are assigned.
2!
!
!
Provisional Camping is a program designed for the Scout who would like to attend Winter
Camp, but his troop is not attending. Scouts who attend camp without their Troop will be
adopted by another Troop and will fall into one of their patrols for the week.
Scouts Needing Assistance
Camperships are available to help Scouts who need financial assistance. The Scoutmaster must
make a request in writing by filling out a Campership Application (page 20). The deadline for
Camperships is October 24, 2014. The amount of the Campership will be based upon the
extenuating circumstances. The Scout’s family, Troop, and Chartered Organization should pool
their resources first, with a Campership request for the balance.
In Case of Emergency
Should an emergency situation arise, a qualified medic is on duty 24 hours a day. In the unlikely
event of serious illness or injury to a Scout, he or she will be taken to a nearby hospital. No
prescription medication will be paid for by the camp or the council. Normal insurance filing
procedures will apply. Camp Emergency procedures will be covered at the opening leaders’
meeting.
Required Medical Forms
All Scouts and leaders are required to have a physical examination before camp and to
complete the appropriate medical forms. All scouts or leaders should complete Parts A,
B, and C signed by a health care provider.
!
Medical Information
Each youth and adult who attends Camp Edgewood must have an Annual Health and Medical
form. Please note on Part C, both sides of your insurance card must be copied and attached. In
addition, Part C includes the parent/guardian’s consent for emergency care and it must have a
parent or guardian’s signature. Also, be sure to have the proper contact numbers,
home/cell/office/alternate, for such emergency possibilities. (Our experience shows this to be
necessary. A Scoutmaster cannot authorize emergency treatment. The Individual Health Forms
must be submitted to the Camp Health & Safety Officer at time of troop check-in. The scout
troop is responsible for collecting their health forms at the close of camp. The Council does not
retain copies of these forms.
3!
!
!
Medicine
A locked box and a refrigerator in the Health Lodge are available for any medications. All
medications must be accompanied by written permission and any necessary instructions or
documentation from a parent or guardian. During camp, any illness or accident incurred must be
reported and logged by the Camp Medical Officer.
Insurance
The Calcasieu Area Council provides camp insurance for all youth and adults currently
registered in its council. Out-of-Council campers should be covered by their own council’s
policy or individual troop policy. Troop policies should be presented at check-in and maintained
in the troop’s medical files. Parents should make arrangements for treatment of any pre-existing
conditions.
Check-In Procedure
In order to make check-in a more efficient process, we will utilize staggered check-in times.
Approximately two weeks before arrival at camp, you will be contacted with your scheduled
time.
Once you have arrived at camp, you will be greeted by one of our friendly staffers who will act
as your guide for the orientation tour. The Scoutmaster and Senior Patrol Leader will report to
the Camp Office to finalize all paperwork, schedule requests and to receive their camp packet.
Please have all medical forms ready and on hand before reporting to the Camp Office. At
that time, all campers will be assigned a wrist band which MUST be worn while at Camp
Edgewood. The wrist band indicates that you are checked-in and are approved for all meals and
activities.
Once check-in is complete, your guide will take you to several check points
including: the Health Lodge where all medical forms are to be handed to the Camp Medic for
review, dining hall, troop photo, program areas, and campsite location. We ask that all troops
wear their full field uniform for the troop photos as well as at all flag ceremonies.

Please Note: The camp phone and fax numbers are provided for business and emergency use
only. It is the only camp administration line to the property. Since Camp Edgewood is not
equipped with a paging system, non-emergency messages will be delivered at the next dining
opportunity.
Transportation and Parking
Included in your camp packet is a vehicle pass. Each Troop will be issued ONE pass in order to
access your campsite to unload/load gear. Only one vehicle per Troop will be allowed into the
campsite at a time and the vehicle pass must be displayed in the windshield. Trailers may be left
in your campsite; however, ALL vehicles are to remain in the parking lot for the duration of
camp. These precautions are for the safety of the scouts and must be followed while at camp.
Visitors in Camp
Registered scouters and immediate family members are always welcome at Camp Edgewood and
we want to ensure that their stay is safe and enjoyable. Anyone wanting to volunteer will also be
welcome. All visitors must check–in at the camp office to communicate their purpose and
duration of their visit as well as receive their wrist band that must be worn while on camp. All
visitors are required to depart camp by 9:30 p.m. unless specific arrangements have been made
with the Camp Director. Upon departure, all guests must check-out at the camp office.
If guests would like to stay for meal time, a meal ticket is required. The price for the meal ticket
is $6 for adults and $3 for youth 10 and under.
These policies and procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all persons in camp. Please
assist us by following these procedures and communicating their importance to your visitors
5!
!
!
Check-Out Procedure
Check-out for winter camp is to be completed between 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday
morning. We will do our best to have everything ready for you; however, if you are departing on
Tuesday, we will not be able to have all class completion reports ready.
Before departing camp, your guide, along with the Scoutmaster and Senior Patrol Leader, will
inspect your campsite. Upon completion of the inspection, your Troop will receive a signed
form from the guide clearing your Troop to proceed to the camp office. Once completed,
proceed to the office where camp management personnel will be ready to receive your campsite
inspection form. You will then receive your camp packets. Please glance through them to make
sure you have all necessary documents (including medical forms) before you leave camp.
Troop Pictures
During orientation, troop pictures will be taken at the council ring and will be available at the
camp office during Winter Camp free of charge. They will be given to you in a digital format.
Please bring a flash drive or laptop for ease of transfer.
Merit Badge Programs
Most merit badges can be completed at camp; however,
because of time requirements, special projects, or other
considerations, some merit badges require prerequisites or a
special skill level.
Please note that some badges may require an offsite trip.
Permission slips for those classes must be completed and
signed by the parent before coming to camp. It is
recommended that all Scouts bring a signed offsite
permission slip with them to camp. Sometimes trips are
added at the last minute or there may be a schedule change,
and we would hate to see a scout miss out on a trip because
he does not have a valid permission slip.
Scout units are expected to provide at least one leader to
teach a merit badge session. Without the leadership of
dedicated volunteers, we cannot have a winter camp
program. Please contact the camp director for any concerns.
Please fill out the provided merit badge spreadsheet for all merit badge requests
6!
!
!
Confirmation and Changes
When registering for classes, remember, you are submitting a request. Due to limited class sizes,
a scout may not be able to get every merit badge class he requests. If any changes need to be
made, the scoutmaster will be notified as soon as possible in order for substitutions to occur.
Once your troop’s schedule is finalized, a copy will be emailed to you. It is not mandatory for
scouts to enroll in all 5 sessions. Younger scouts may get overwhelmed by taking too many merit
badges and get discouraged to come back to camp.
Brownsea
Brownsea is Camp Edgewood’s first year camper program. Participants will learn basic scout
skills and will fullfill several rank requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class.
Order of the Arrow
Purpose
The purpose of the Order of the Arrow is fourfold:
1. To recognize those Scout campers who best
exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily
lives
2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and
spirit
3. To promote scout camping
4. To crystallize the scout habit of helpfulness into a
life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to
others

History
The Order of the Arrow (OA) was founded by Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson in
1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It
became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the scouting
program in 1934. In 1948 the OA, recognized as the BSA's national brotherhood of honor
campers, became an official part of the national camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.
Today, the OA is recognized as Scouting's National Honor Society.
Membership
The OA has more than 181,000 members located in lodges affiliated with more than 285 BSA
local councils.
Eligibility
To become a member, a youth must be a registered member of a Boy Scout troop or Venture
Crew and hold First Class rank. The youth must have experienced 15 days and nights of camping
during the two years before his election. The 15 days and nights must include one, but no more
than one, long-term camp consisting of six consecutive days and five nights of resident camping,
approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boy Scouts of America. The balance of the
camping must be overnight, weekend, or other short-term camps. Scouts are elected to the OA by
their fellow troop or venture crew members, following approval by the scoutmaster or venture
crew advisor.
Induction
The induction ceremony, called the Ordeal, is conducted at scout camp and is the first step
toward full membership. During the experience, candidates must undergo a series of challenges
designed to test their courage and determination to uphold the ideals of scouting which the Order
of the Arrow is based on.
Brotherhood Membership
After 10 months of service and fulfilling certain requirements, a member may take part in the
Brotherhood ceremony, which places further emphasis on the ideals of scouting and the Order.
Completion of this ceremony signifies full membership in the OA.
Vigil Honor
After two years of service as a Brotherhood member, and with the approval of the National
Order of the Arrow Committee, a scout may be recognized with the Vigil Honor for outstanding
service to scouting, his lodge, and the community. This honor is bestowed by special selection
and is limited to one person for every 50 members registered with the lodge each year.
8!
!
!
Lodges
Each Order of the Arrow lodge is granted a charter from the National Council, BSA, upon annual
application by the local council. The OA lodge helps the local council provide a quality scouting
program through recognition of scouting spirit and performance, development of youth
leadership and service, promotion of Scout camping and outdoor programs, and enhancement of
membership tenure.
Sections
An Order of the Arrow section consists of lodges within a geographic area of the region. Our
section consists of six lodges: Quelqueshoe, Atchafalaya, Sebooney Okasucca, Chilantakoba,
Quinipissa, and Comanche, encompassing most of Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. Once
every year, representatives of lodges in the section come together for an event called Conclave.
Call Out Ceremony
This year at Winter Camp, the Order of the Arrow Quelqueshoe Lodge 166 will be conducting a
call-out ceremony at the closing campfire to recognize those scouts and scouters who have been
elected to become members of the lodge. If you are in need of a unit election, call John Williams,
our Lodge Chief, at (337) 479-0415 or email [email protected].
Training for Scoutmasters
Some of the training opportunities include but may not be limited to: Climb on Safely, Trek
Safely, Weather Hazards, Safe Swim Defense, Safety Afloat and Committee Challenge. If there
is enough interest, we will hold a Red Cross CPR class. ALL adult leaders over 18 years of
age must have completed Youth Protection Training and show proof of completion at
check-in.

coals. No stoves allowed! Winners will be announced and awarded at the closing campfire

Trading Post
The trading post will be open and fully stocked during Winter Camp. Often overlooked items
such as flashlights, batteries, insect repellent, along with an assortment of additional scouting
items will be available for purchase. Shirts for Winter Camp will be offered on a pre-order basis
only and are not included with the camp registration fee. Please use the Winter Camp Shirt PreOrder Form (page 24) to place orders for all shirts and caps. All orders are pre-pay only and nonrefundable and must be submitted to the council office by October 24, 2014.
Family Night
Come join your son for a delicious meal! You may arrive any time after 5:00 pm on Tuesday,
November 25, 2014 and join your son for dinner. The cost is $6 for each adult guest; children
under 10 eat free. All guests must report to the camp office upon arrival to check in and receive
your appropriate wrist band. We request that all families, Scouts, and leaders stay for the closing
campfire which is when special awards will be given to Scouts and Troops.
Winter Camp Fees
The Fee for Winter Camp 2014 is $125 per Scout. All fees must be paid in full by Friday,
November 10, 2014. After November 10, 2014, the late fee is $150 per Scout. A Troop deposit
of $100 with completed Troop Registration Form is required when the Troop registers for camp.
Paying the troop deposit does not give you a reprieve from the final fees deadline. The $100
deposit is non-refundable, and counts toward the total registration fees for the troop. The camp
fee covers the cost of program supplies, food, and camp operations. Refunds for no-shows will
only be given with a written doctor’s excuse. The troop will be responsible for all scouts
registered or reserved as of November 10th . However, the Council will withhold a $70
cancellation fee from each refund. All fees must be paid in full by November 10th, A Troop
will not be allowed to access camp until all fees are paid and the account settled. Finally, all fees
must be paid by the troop only, not individuals.

Camping Experience
•
• Wear closed-toed shoes
Use insect repellents containing DEET or Permethrin
