New Incentive for 2021! If 50% of your unit attends Sioux Council Summer Camp at Lewis and Clark Scout
Reservation or Cub events (Webelos Camp, Cub Family Weekend or Adventure Day) your unit will qualify for one free
al-a-cart rental per month at Lewis and Clark Scout Reservation, the Center for Scouting or Camp Iyataka from June
1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. The free rental will be refunded upon the unit completing the online reservation and
attending the camping weekend. The Sioux Council will refund the camping fee to the unit account. For out of council
units we will refund the money in the manner in which it is received. This incentive cannot be applied to an entire
camp property rental. In addition, for troops that already made a deposit at another council’s long-term camp, we’ll be
happy to negotiate a credit to offset those fees.

Lewis and Clark Camp Staff and CIT Staff Application is live and only online. We are looking for individuals that
want to make a difference and huge impact on our Scouts lives as they grow as individuals. Gene Fuller will be our
Camp Director this year and he is excited for the year to come. Please go to https://www.siouxcouncil.org/Camp-Staff
for the application and let us know what you are interested in doing.

CIT Incentive: any Scout that successfully attends NYLT and serves at least two weeks as a CIT at Lewis and Clark
Scout Reservation will have their NYLT fee reimbursed by camp. Go to the website above to apply and start your
adventure as a staff member at camp.

Scouters!

Lewis & Clark camp staff are super excited for our 2021 Summer Camp season! Due to the overwhelming positive
feedback from campers, adult leaders and staff the new camp program we introduced last year will be continuing in
2021.

One of the best features of the new format is our program camps. This format will allow Scouts to spend a full day in
each camp. Think of them as “Super-Scout Day Camps” with a gaga ball pit where they can spend the day immersed in
that camp’s theme.

We have integrated a First-Class Trail program into the Scouts week at camp as well as a Trail to Eagle Merit Badge
cluster that will include a Google Classroom for pre/post requirements to completed at home and give our Scouts the
tools to do so.

As we continue to create the best camp program for Scouts, we are continuing to upgrade camp facilities. We broke
ground this fall on two new storm shelter/shower houses on the east side of camp that will be open for the 2021
season. If you already have a date chosen for your troop to come to Lewis & Clark do not wait to register as there is a
cap of 200 Scouts and adults for each week. We would hate to have to put you on a wait list for the week of camp you
want.

I look forward to seeing many familiar faces at camp this summer and hope to welcome many new faces to the Lewis
and Clark camping family.

Some frequent comments from our 2020 camping season;

“loved extra Gaga Ball pits” in each program camp. (ALL 4 OF THEM!)

“Having the troop together all week was great it really helped the Scouts bond and gave the Scouts in leadership
positions a great opportunity to grow.”

“Very Flexible Staff”   “Staff went out of their way, bending over backwards for us, and that was much appreciated.”

“Almost too much food”         “Food was very tasty”        “loved the food being served in the program area”

 delivered to camp program areas or campsites for cooking per the schedule. Troops will
 need to bring their mess kits and cooking gear for breakfast. Lunch will be a sack lunch
 that troops will put together before they head to their program camp. All dinner meal
 services will use disposable dinnerware and eating utensils in the Program Camp that
 you are in that night. All Scouts and adult leaders will need to have a 16 oz or larger
 water bottle for beverage service. All meal procedures will be covered during check-in
 process.

                                       Special Dietary Needs
 Any Scout or leader that has special dietary needs should contact us one week before
 arriving at camp. Remember to verify your dietary requests during the troop check-in
 process. Persons with food allergies should follow the same procedure. At check-in, you
 will be asked to fill out a form that will be provided to the Health Officer and Dining Hall
 staff. Please remember to contact us in advance of your week at camp so we can be
 prepared for your visit. If we don’t know in advance of your dietary needs, we will do our
 best to accommodate you.

Camp Topography
As you plan your week, we would like to remind you that, unlike most camps in the Mid-
West, Lewis & Clark has topography, meaning that we have changes in elevation. Lewis &
Clark is built on the bluffs and rolling hills of the Missouri River. Campsites and program
areas are located on the slopes leading to Lewis & Clark Lake. Our dining hall,
administrative offices and shooting ranges are all located at the top of the bluff. We
mention this as a courtesy so that you can properly plan your week. We have added
elevations to the map to aid in this process. If your troop is accustomed to camping in flat
regions, you may want to do a little pre-camp training before arriving.

As a result of our location on the bluffs of the Missouri, we are blessed not only with a
magnificent view, but with thick forest vegetation. Many new visitors are surprised to see the
dense forest and abundance of trees “in the middle of the prairie”. All campsites and merit
badge areas, with the exception of the waterfront, have shade most of the day.

Merit Badges
Each Scout should review the requirements of the merit badges he/she would like to take prior
to coming to camp. This will allow requirements to be completed at home that will not be
completed at camp.

   Registration for merit badges enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis. You must
    checkout of Tentaroo each time you add or delete Scouts or merit badges for the system
    to save your changes.

   Be sure Scouts have current merit badge pamphlets.

   Pamphlets are available for sale from the Trading Post, but advanced purchase and reading is
    highly recommended for the scouts to be able to complete merit badges at camp.

   Scouts should complete requirements that cannot be done at camp before arriving.

   Scoutmasters / Merit Badge Councilors please send a signed note with your Scout stating what
    requirements were completed prior to attending camp. Notes should be turned in to the merit
    badge counselor at the first session.

Merit Badge Completion Records
Lewis & Clark merit badge counselors will track all requirements completed at camp. All
requirements & completed merit badges can be checked by logging into your Tentaroo account
(same one you used to register for camp). You can also view or print the Scouts’ schedules. Access
to computers will be available at the Administration building and the Trading Post.

New for this year we will use a jamboree format to meet current camping health and safety guidelines. Troops and lone
campers will be assigned to a campground and will form a new Camp Troop for the week’s camp.

These will be the 4 Camp Troops for the Week.

       Troop Floyd/York                                           Troop Crazy Horse/Red Dog

       Troop Pryor/Gass                                           Troop Spotted Tail/Red Cloud
Camp Troops will form patrols and elect troop leadership Sunday night.
   Senior Patrol Leader.
   Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.
   Patrol Leaders.
   Assistant Patrol Leaders
   Troop Scribe.

Troops are encouraged to bring camp site activities and games to share at camp.

                                        Camp Programs
Camp Troops will rotate through each of the 4 program areas and spend one full day in each area working on merit
badges, participating in troop activities, playing games and eating their meals.

Your safety and the safety of all our members, volunteers, and employees is Sioux Council’s top priority. In light of
COVID-19, we are taking additional precautions at camp on top of our long-established health and safety measures.
First, our council health supervisor, a physician, is following state, local and Federal guidelines to ensure we are
mitigating as much as possible the risk of COVID-19 at camp.
Our mitigation plan includes:
   • Pre-attendance education,
   • Health screening conducted by your unit prior to travel to our camp, including a temperature check.
   • Health screening upon your arrival at camp conducted by our camp health officers, which will also include a
       temperature check.
           • Note: should anyone in the unit not pass the arrival screening, the entire unit will not be allowed to enter
               camp.
   • No visitors in camp.
   • Hygiene reminders throughout camp experience.
   • Handwashing /sanitizer stations throughout camp.
   • Staff to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and shared program equipment.
   • An emergency response plan that includes isolation and quarantine protocol should a person at camp develop
       symptoms of COVID-19 or other communicable disease.
   • Check-ins with each unit one week and two weeks after the unit leaves camp to determine if any participants
       have developed symptoms.
These precautions are important, but they do not remove the potential for exposure to COVID-19 or any other illness
while at camp. Some people with COVID-19 show no signs or symptoms of illness but can still spread the virus, and
people may be contagious before their symptoms occur. These factors mean that an infected person may pass the
required health screenings and be allowed into camp.
We also know the very nature of camp makes social distancing difficult in many situations or impossible in some cases.

COVID-19 Protocols and Acknowledgement Form
                                             Page 3 of 4 required forms

Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that older adults and people of any age
who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. If you are in this
group, please ensure you have approval from your health care provider prior to attending camp.

We know that each staff member, volunteer, and Scouting family has a unique set of circumstances to consider when
deciding whether to attend camp. We hope this information will be helpful as you make those choices.

 We recognize and accept this form of camp protocols, signed by myself and/or my parent/guardian if
 under the age of 18. I agree to follow written and verbal social distancing guidelines and to participate
 with my safety and the safety of others in mind.

Clark Scout Camp. Scouts are expected to abide by all safety rules and the instructions of the
camp Instructor(s).

I, the undersigned, give my child                                 , permission to participate in this

parties, or other organizations associated with the activity from any and all claims or liability
arising out of this participation.

For safety, my child and I agree that he/she will do the following or he/she will be
