Letter from the Camp Program Director
Dear Unit Leaders,
Welcome to Camp Napowan! Company is coming and it’s time to get ready to
welcome them to our summer home. I am really looking forward to having the
opportunity to work with all of you.
Hello all! My name is Levi Keller and I have been appointed as the 2020
Camp Napowan’s Program director. I am an Eagle Scout and a Vigil Honor
member in the Order of the Arrow from the Black Swamp Area Council located in
Findlay, Ohio. I am a graduate of Bowling Green State University, with a degree
in Middle Childhood Education. I have previously worked 10 summers at Camp
Lakota, in Defiance, Ohio. I served as a counselor-in-training, a member of the
Nicoteh program (first year program)and the Nicoteh Director, CIT Director,
Quartermaster, and Outdoor Skills Director.
I have a great love for the Scouting program. It helped shape my life and made me into the man I am today. I
want all of our youth to have a great experience in Scouting as I did. I hope to meet many of you this summer and
become a member of the Napowan family.
Camp Napowan’s merit badge program has many opportunities with over thirty merit badge offerings to choose
from.
In the spirit of Scouting, we say “THANKS” for choosing Camp Napowan as the “outdoor laboratory” for your
troop’s summer camp experience. We pledge to you and your unit that the camp staff at Camp Napowan will do
their best to provide an outdoor Scouting experience that will last a lifetime.
Once again “THANKS” for choosing to attend Camp Napowan in 2020. We really do hope that you and your
unit will have a great time and if there is anything that we can do to make your stay even better please do not
hesitate to say something to one of us. We’ll see what we can do the make your stay with us better. Have a great
camping experience in 2020.
Sincerely in the world of Scouting,
Levi Keller

WHAT’S NEW FOR 2020
Camp Napowan is constantly pushing itself to provide scouts and leaders with the most current and intensive and fun activities as
possible. We are pleased, then, to see numerous changes, additions, and modifications happening in our program areas and
merit badge curriculum this year!
In the Aquatics area of the program, we are adding the opportunity for Scouts to participant in Paddle
boarding BSA. “Explore Lake Napowan” with while earning the Stand-Up Paddle Board BSA award. Camp
Napowan is excited to offer the opportunity for scouts to receive formal instruction in our most popular craft, the
“SUP”! The award will be offered in two sections, section #1 - Monday/Tuesday and section #2 -
Wednesday/Thursday, both from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Hurry and sign up now, slots are limited to six (6) scouts per class.
Snorkeling BSA will be offered at 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Hills Lake.
Snorkeling BSA offers scouts the opportunity to explore the world under the water through guided instruction and
snorkeling tips. Capped at ten (10) scouts, this three-day program provides the opportunity to learn a new skill while
experiencing the gateway to the underwater world! Advanced registration is required.
BMX Don’t miss Camp Napowan’s new, BMX pump track this summer! Scouts (and adults too) will enjoy the
chance to master new tricks on the pump track, or explore Camp Napowan’s terrain. Scouts will appreciate the
chance to take their bike skills to the next level at Scouts BSA camp.
We are adding to Skynet program area the Photography Merit Badge. During a Scouts participation towards
earning this badge, the Scout will work at taking pictures toward a promotional CD for camp for that week. The
collection of photos for each week will be surveyed to production a camp wide CD for summer camp promotion in
2021.
EAGLE OASIS
We are overhauling the “Eagle Oasis” program this year and to improve the overall experience for the first-year
scout coming to Camp Napowan this summer. This will be a day long experience with each scout leaving at the
end of the week with many of the outdoor-skills based requirements for Scout, Tenderfoot, 2nd Class and 1st Class
ranks, including aquatics and first aid-related requirements. Scout in the Eagle Oasis program will also receive
their very own walking stave, which will become a keepsake for them to decorate and design as they choose. More
detailed information can be found on page 17 of this guide.
SENIOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PROGRAM
An exciting new program for Camp Napowan is being developed for the older scout
attending camp this summer. We are calling this new program the Senior Outdoor
Adventure Program (S.O.A.P.) It is open to the older scout 13 years or older and at least 1st Class
who want a new challenge, here are a few of the program highlights that a scout can do:
1 – create a survival village in which they will stay in for a few nights
2 – participate in the new BMX program
3 – participate in C.O.P.E activities
4 – work on Search & Rescue Merit Badge

A note from the Program Director:
At Camp Napowan, our high-quality Camp Staff is extremely dedicated to giving each individual the tools, knowledge and
direction they need to accomplish their goals within our programs. To make this possible, we as Camp Staff will make every
attempt to keep all of our units up to date on necessities to make your week at camp enjoyable and successful by advising you,
prior to arrival, on any preparatory measures your unit should take. Thus, we have a few suggestions for you and your Scouts as
you prepare for your week at camp:
ØEach Scout should bring a notepad and writing utensil, although we are steering instruction in a more “hands-on” direction, note taking
proves very useful, particularly on the first day of any merit badge class.
ØFor Eagle Oasis: Please review what requirements that we are planning to cover for both Scout/ Tenderfoot and Second Class/ First Class
when selecting a session. These requirements are located in the list above.
ØScouts participating in boating activities are encouraged to bring along a separate pair of shoes SPECIFICALLY for getting wet.
ØAttention should be paid during the scheduling process, to the distance between program sessions.
ØIf financially reasonable, Scouts should obtain merit badge pamphlets for each badge they plan to participate in and review them before
arrival at camp.
ØIt is great for Scouts and Scouters alike, to keep in mind that most badges are designed to create a quality learning experiences in their
particular field and may be more time consuming than expected.
ØScouts should come to camp planning to get dirty, gain valuable skill set, and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!
The staff and I eagerly await your arrival and the opportunity to create, with you, the best summer camp experience possible. We
expect everyone who comes through our gates this summer, from across the country and around the world, to be ready to create
the best summer Camp Napowan and the Boy Scouts of America have ever had.
MERIT BADGE SCHEDULE 2020
Camp Napowan works on the “blended” merit badge system where some of the badges are4 schedules and some are “open”.
This is a system that allows scouts to utilize time to their advantage and work on as many merit badges as they want! However,
because of safety issues and requirement factors, some of our badges are scheduled. We also want to cut down on wait time for
scouts in certain merit badges, so while some of the merit badges are “open,” we do ask that scouts arrive on the hour. The merit
badges offered at Camp Napowan ranges from handicrafts to outdoor skills to cutting edge STEM badges, as well as Eagle and
non-Eagle required badges. All of our counselors
are trained in each badge as well as how to work with individual scouts.
Signing up for Merit Badges is done through your unit’s online camp registration. Once you’ve registered your troop and entered
in all of your camper information, you can sign start signing up your scouts for their classes! You can even assign your
scouts their own login information so that they can sign themselves up!
Completions/Partials: At the end of the week, leaders will be given a print-out of their scouts completed and partial badges. Unit
merit badge records are also accessible after camp by your camp coordinator through the unit’s online registration. Your unit’s
summer camp registration includes a downloadable .csv file that can be uploaded to your unit’s scoutbook account for
recordkeeping. This report is accessible after your stay at camp ends.
All merit badges will be taught based on the latest requirements found in the most recent edition of the “BSA”s Requirements
Book”. Please check to make sure your merit badge books contain the most recent requirements. Scouts seeking to take a merit
badge must pre-register online through the council’s website.
It’s the responsibility of each Scout to choose and prepare for each merit badge that he/she wishes to take in advance of their
week at camp. Prerequisites exist for many of the merit badges and are outline in this guide. They exist to help Scouts achieve
their desired outcome. So, to prevent partials, please make sure your Scouts come to c amp prepared with those prerequisites
completed and appropriate proof of their completion (i.e. An example of their work or a signed statement or note from the unit
leadership).

Aquatics Program (cont’d)
Aquatics Area – Rules & Guidelines
ü No one will be admitted to either area without a valid buddy tag and verbal permission from an aquatics staff member. These privileges may be
revoked by the Aquatics Director if he/she feels that the individual is a danger to themselves and others.
ü No one is permitted in the aquatics program areas outside of program hours without the knowledge and permission of the Aquatics Director.
ü Closed toed shoes are suggested for boating, activities, including paddleboards. This is due to our rocky beach and heavy fishing activity on
Lake Napowan. Water shoes or Keen’s style sandals are recommended. Hiking boots and Crocks are strongly discouraged and flip flops are not
permitted.
ü Fishing is permitted out of rowboats ONLY and all occupants must be wearing a PFD at all times.
ü No boats will be permitted to depart after 4:45 pm. At that time the bell will ring and all boats will be called in. This is to ensure that scouts have
enough time to make it to flags.
ü The swimmer qualification is required to participant in any boating badge. Semi-private swimming instruction is available for anyone who wish to
improve their skills.
ü The Aquatics Director may elect to cancel or modify programs due to weather. This includes postponing or canceling scheduled programs in
favor of open swim in times of extreme heat.
ü Scouts late for badges may be denied entry if staff is not available to check them in.
ü As per BSA Swim Test instructions the Aquatics Director is permitted to make final decision on applicants swimming ability level.
ü The Napowan aquatics area follows all applicate guidelines and rules, as found in the following: Guide to Safe Scouting. BSA’s Aquatics
Supervision Guide, NCAP standards, Wisconsin Health and Boater Safety regulations, and aquatics industry practices.
ü Many troops encourage their first-year scouts to take a boating badge. This is a wise choice as boating badges provide many benefits that
enable success on their scouting journey including boat handling, knots, first aid, planning, discipline, and responsibility. Furthermore, as many
scouts do not have access to boats or facilities outside of camp. This is an ideal time to complete the boating requirements for rank advancement,
or begin preparation for a troop boating outing. With this in mind, the Napowan aquatics staff would like to recommend that first-year scouts
register for Kayaking Merit Badge, in leu of Canoeing Merit Badge. It has been observed that the Kayaking requirements and course structure
are more contusive for the needs of first-year scouts. Furthermore, the smaller size of the boats in Kayaking allows for younger scouts to have
more successful experience in handling the boats, as well as completing the self-rescue requirements. With the above taken into account, it will
remain the policy of the Napowan Aquatics to permit any scout to participate in any activity, as long as they meet and follow the safety
guidelines in the “Guide to Safe Scouting”.
Camp Napowan is situated on two beautiful lakes – Lake Napowan and Hills Lake. Scouts can use these lakes for boating activities, water-based
merit badges, or to just cool off and have fun during the hot afternoons! The swimming and boating areas will both be open from 3:00 pm to 5:00
pm for open swim and open boating.
C.O.P.E.
Challenging Outdoor Physical Experience
Defy your fears and learn teamwork in this intensive, all day course! C.O.P.E., or
Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience prepares scouts to work with a team, to push
their limits, and to see personal growth as they take part in team building activities, climb a
40-foot wall, and race down through the wilderness on a zip-line! In order to participate in
C.O.P.E., you must be 13 years or older! C.O.P.E will run from 9:00 to 12-Noon each day.
The dedicated instructors also offer the Climbing merit badge, where scouts of all ages can
earn this badge through learning climbing related skills, and hands-on activities. These two
experiences will give scouts not only a sense of working together, but the satisfaction of a
goal being accomplished!

EAGLE OASIS – ALL NEW FOR 2020!
First time at camp? Don’t sweat it – we’ve got you covered! Eagle Oasis is created in the spirit of the Brownsea Island Camp established by Lord
Baden-Powell. At Eagle Oasis, the first-year Scout can earn almost all of the outdoor-based Scout through 1st Class Scout requirements. Scout will
stay with their own unit during the week, but have their own daily schedule. Led by experienced staff members, Scouts will be divided into groups
of 8 to 10 scouts. This is a comprehensive program which teach young Scouts the basic Scouting skills for camping, first aid, knots, lashing,
swimming, map and compass, and nature skills. Scout can be signed up for this program through the online registration system for the council. A
sample of their schedule is shown below, keeping in minds that we are still in the development stages of the program.
ALSO NEW FOR 2020 – Scouts in Eagle Oasis will all take Swimming merit badge as part of the Eagle Oasis program! Scouts who have not
passed the swim test will use this time for instructional swim with the goal of passing the BSA Swim Test by the end of the week. In the unique
circumstance where a new scout has already earned Swimming merit badge prior to summer camp, he/she can use this hour to work on a merit
badge of his/her choosing.

Sherwood
When Lord Baden-Powell founded the Scouting movement, he felt that any scout who took the time and trouble to master certain
scoutcraft skills they should be rewarded. Today we utilize the outdoor element as the foundation for many scouting programs.
Chopping wood with an axe, navigating through the wilderness, building and lighting fires – this and more is offered at Camp
Napowan’s outdoor and scouting skills area, Sherwood! This forest-located area gives scouts more than plenty of opportunities to
earn Eagle-required merit badges and see what new skills they can develop! Sherwood is more than just that, though, as each
merit badge prepares scouts for the ultimate outdoor experience! The Sherwood area offers an exciting program which teaches
these special skills and illustrated their usage in everyday life.
