With everything in store for the “big kid” campers, there should
be no reason why you shouldn’t have even more fun than the
Scouts!
Leader Meetings
•These daily meetings will consist of the camp staff leadership
giving you a run-down of all the day’s program information and
other little items of business to help your unit’s week run as
smooth as possible.
•Only one Leader is required to attend these meetings as we
encourage the others to help out the Scouts in Eagle Quest or in
merit badge sessions.
Get Involed
•Help Us Help You: We understand that your own unit’s interests
are the number one priority, but we welcome your assistance to
make Tesomas even better. We ask that you help contribute to the
camp with any special skills that you have. Help is always
appreciated within program areas, guarding on the Waterfront,
and service projects.
•Geezer Merit Badge: Have you always wanted to earn your own
merit badge? Pick up a list of the requirements in the Program
Center to get started exploring camp, participating in
activities, and helping Scouts have a great camping experience.
This program takes place throughout the week and will be an
explosion of fun.
•Challenge the Staff: Throughout the week, units (including
adults and Scouts) are welcome to challenge the staff or other
units to some kind of competition. Anything from volleyball,
chilly-willys, cook-offs, ultimate frisbee, etc. are fair game.
