WHAT GUIDES US
                 MISSION STATEMENT OF THE HORSESHOE SCOUT RESERVATION
 Provide and maintain quality outdoor program facilities, which will foster the development of advanced summer
and year-round Scouting programs for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA and Venture Scouts, in the Chester County Council,
                                                      BSA.
It is the mission of the entire Camp Ware staff to support and foster the Boy Scout Oath. We pledge to encourage
 all Scouts attending summer camp ‘to do their best’ while having fun and learning skills they will carry with them
                                          through the rest of their lives.

                                              THE SCOUT OATH
                                         On my honor I will do my best
                         To do my duty to God and my country and obey the Scout Law;
                                       To help other people at all times;
                     To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

                                               THE SCOUT LAW
                                                    A Scout is:
                              Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
                              Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent

FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Welcome to Camp Ware!

2020 was an unprecedented year and as such we here at Camp John H. Ware, 3rd were saddened that we were
not able to spend summer moments together. The smores, songs, and stories were missed, but we cannot wait to
share new ones with you this summer.

Like the adventure Looking Back, Looking Forward, it is time to look forward to 2021, and, I can’t tell you enough
how excited we are that you and your pack have chosen to spend your 2021 summer camp experience with us
here at Camp Ware.

The following program guide is designed to help introduce leaders, Scouts, and parents to the Cub Scout program
available during the week at Camp Ware. We also highly encourage adult leaders to read the Camp Ware Leader’s
Guide, a helpful resource, available through the council website.

The Camp Ware program continues to improve and evolve year after year. As you are planning your week, please
take note of changes to the 2021 requirements and any of our new offerings.

We hope you are as excited about this summer as the Camp Ware staff. We look forward to seeing you at camp.

Yours in Scouting,

Matthew Cecchini

CAMP WARE CUB SCOUT ADVANCEMENT POLICY

Summer camp is a great way for scouts to experience everything
that the Boy Scouts of America has to offer. As you begin to plan
your summer camp experiences with Camp John H. Ware, 3rd, we
understand it is important to know what advancement will be
offered at camp this summer. The following guide outlines the
program and advancement opportunities offered; the more
opportunities you are able to take advantage of, the more
memories you can create.

On the Advancement Trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to
rank, learning new skills as they go. Each of the ranks and awards
in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As Scouts advance
through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging to
match the new skills and abilities they learn as they get older.

Although the focus of a great camp experience is not solely on advancement, many Scouts and their families do,
indeed, like to complete requirements while having fun! It gives them a great sense of accomplishment to check a
few boxes at the end of their camp adventure.

The Camp Ware staff works very hard to ensure that every camper has an unforgettable camp experience; because
of this goal, there are times that we are unable to complete all of the achievements that we initially planned.
Please be mindful of what is covered during our session and remember that these are just our proposed
achievements.

As you spend your week at camp, please make sure you take advantage of as many of our new and exciting
opportunities as possible this summer, to make the most of your Scouting experience here at Camp Ware.

                                              THIS YEAR’S THEME
Whether you are an explorer, a fisherman, or even a pirate, the sea call all to the decks of their ships. Join our
expedition as we set a course to discover new civilizations upon uncharted isles.

CUB SCOUT RECOGNITION
                                                  CUB SCOUTS
Camp Ware seeks to recognize Scouts for doing their best each day. While some tasks may seem simple to the
adults watching, it is important to remember that some of those tasks require bravery, patience, endurance, and
mental/physical strength. As a way of recognizing their achievements, Camp Ware awards beads for Tiger, Wolf,
and Bear Scouts. Every bead symbolizes an activity they have undertaken at camp. These beads act as a reminder,
throughout the week, of the different Scouts’ accomplishments. Be sure to ask your Scouts what each of their
beads stands for and how they were earned.

WEBELOS AND ARROW OF LIGHT SCOUTS
Tiger, Wolf, and Bear Scouts are not the only ones whose achievements deserve
recognition. We recognize that Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts will be
bridging over to Scouting BSA soon. With that in mind, Webelos and Arrow of
Light Scouts are provided an opportunity to participate in a unique experience
that will test their understanding of the Scout Law as they try their best, through
the Webelos Passport and Arrow of Light Challenge program.

In order to enhance their experience, Webelos will carry around a Passport and
Arrow of Lights will carry a Challenge pamphlet throughout their week at
camp. As they complete an activity that demonstrates the Scout Law, they will fill
out a short reflection and share it with a member of the Camp Ware staff. The
staff member, who either witnesses the positive behavior or reviews the Scout’s
reflection, then signs their passport or pamphlet. Scouts who complete their
passport or pamphlet by dinner, Saturday, will receive special recognition for their
extra effort.

The Webelos Passport and Arrow of Light Challenge program is meant to be a bridge between the Cub Scout try
and the Boy Scout do. Please encourage your Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to participate in this amazing
experience in Scouting. Your excitement in this program and your Scouts’ success offer a taste to the upper levels
of achievement in Scouting.

CHECK-IN
Your Pack should be planning to arrive no earlier than 8:30am and no later than 10:00am. Vehicles will be
greeted at the main parking lot and directed to the drop-off point for each campsite. All vehicles must be
unloaded promptly and returned directly to the parking lot. Staff members will be on hand to help move
equipment to the site. Due to safety concerns, vehicles will not be able to drive to the campsites. An exception
may be made for one vehicle carrying Pack gear (possibly with a trailer), which should drop off the gear and/or
trailer and then exit the site as early as possible.

                                                HEALTH LODGE
A staff member will guide the Pack to the Health Lodge as soon as all gear is stowed and everyone (both Scouts
and leaders) have changed into a bathing suit, a tee shirt, and shoes. Every Scout and leader must check in at the
Health Lodge upon arriving at camp. All health forms that had not been previously turned into the Health Officer
should be brought up at this time. Medications will be administered by the adult leaders of each Pack in their site
throughout the week. Any medication which needs to be refrigerated or requires special handling should be
brought to the Health Lodge at this time. The Health Officer will answer any questions you may have about the
administering of medications and will provide you with a locked box for medication and sheets to record their
distribution if you have not brought these from home.

                                   QUARTERMASTER AND DINING HALL
After visiting the Health Lodge, a staff member will lead the Pack to the Quartermaster’s Store, and the Dining Hall
to explain the procedures concerning these areas. Scouts or leaders with dietary restrictions should plan to alert
the Dining Hall of those restrictions at this time. We stock options to accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-
free, and most major food allergies. Our kitchen is nut-free. Scouts or leaders with dietary restrictions other than
those listed above should ask their Den Leader to notify the Camp at the Wednesday night Den Leader’s meeting
the week prior to your arrival.

                                                  SWIM CHECK
Immediately following the Check-in Tour, a staff member will lead the Pack to the Pool for their swim tests. Every
Scout and leader planning to use the Pool or Boat Docks must take a qualifying test. Late arrivals can take a
make-up test at 9:00am the next day. The following ability groups have been created in accordance with national
BSA Safe Swim Defense policies:
       Non-Swimmer (White tag): No test
       Beginner (Red/White tag): Jump feet-first into water over your head, level off, and swim 25 feet; make a
       sharp turn and return to the starting point.
       Swimmer (Red/White/Blue tag): Jump feet-first into water over your head, level off, and swim 75 yards
       using any strong stroke on your stomach or side, swim 25 yards using a resting backstroke, rest by
       floating.

RETREAT AND EVENING PROGRAM
A camp-wide Retreat Ceremony begins at 5:45pm, daily, on the Parade Field. All attendees must be in Class A
(Field) Uniform. Although full uniform is preferred, a Uniform Shirt is the minimum standard. Staff will be available
to assist those who are unfamiliar with the ceremony.

Dinner immediately follows Retreat every day. Class A (Field) uniforms are the appropriate dress for dinner in the
dining hall. On Sunday, a guided tour is offered for those new to Camp. After the tour and meeting, everyone
should return to their campsites to unpack and settle in. A camp-wide opening campfire is put on by the staff at
8:30pm.

Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to experience
Camp Ware a full day before our traditional resident

provide Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts a
program similar to that of a Scouts BSA summer

designed for Webelos and Arrow of Lights. There
are five individual sessions for the Scouts with a
focus for advancement.

On Wednesday night, we will offer a Special Interest Program session from 7:00 pm to 8:00pm. This session is a
great chance for the Scouts to enjoy some unique Webelos and Arrow of Light programs developed by our staff.

ACTIVITIES AT CAMP WARE
                                       SPECIAL INTEREST PROGRAMS
From 7:00 to 8:00 pm, Wednesday through Saturday, Camp Ware offers the opportunity for Scouts to participate
in a Special Interest Program (SIP) in several different program areas. The purpose of the SIP is to develop a
Scout’s interest in a particular program area, and to expand the Scout’s knowledge above and beyond the normal
Cub Scout program.

These programs are not only educational but have also been designed to be exciting and fun. Each evening the
Scout will encounter a new skill or challenge associated with that program area. If a Scout attends the SIP session
four out of the five days, he or she will be awarded with the special interest program area segment at the
conclusion of the week. Interested Scouts may participate in any of the six program area SIPs.

feeding.

INNOVATION

                           BSA GUARD
                           If your pack wants to participate in any water activities
                           while not at camp, it is strongly advised that at least one person on the trip should be
                           Certified as a BSA Lifeguard. Work toward earning BSA Lifeguard certification, which is
                           recognized on the same level as Red Cross Lifeguard. BSA Lifeguard is a 15-hour
                           program offered beginning Wednesday afternoon.
                               ❖ In order to have a valid BSA Guard training you must complete the following
                           requirement within a 120-day period:

a team of experienced Cubmasters.

SAFE SWIM DEFENSE
                            Adult leaders supervising a swimming activity must have completed Safe Swim Defense
                            training within the previous two years. Safe Swim Defense standards apply at backyard,
                            hotel, apartment, and public pools, at established waterfront swim areas, such as
                            beaches at state parks and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lakes, and at all temporary
                            swimming areas such as a lake, river, or ocean. Safe Swim Defense does not apply to
                            boating or water activities such as waterskiing or swamped boat drills that are covered
                            by Safety Afloat guidelines. Safe Swim Defense applies to other non-swimming
                            activities whenever participants enter water over knee deep or when submersion is
                            likely, for example, when fording a stream, seining for bait, or constructing a bridge as
                            a pioneering project

SAFETY AFLOAT
Adult leaders supervising activities afloat must have completed Safety
Afloat training within the previous two years. Cub Scout activities
afloat are limited to council, district, pack, or den events that do not
include moving water or float trips (expeditions). Safety Afloat
standards apply to the use of canoes, kayaks, rowboats, rafts, floating
tubes, sailboats, motorboats (including waterskiing), and other small
craft.
