Rotary Scout Reservation
Twin Rivers Council, BSA
RSR is pleased to offer a brand new Twin Rivers Council CSP celebrating Scouting’s 100th Anniversary in America and the great Scouting tradition at Rotary Scout Reservation! The CSP, which was designed by RSR Staff alumnus Jack Earl, features the founder of Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell, along with local icon Uncle Sam. The history of Uncle Sam is traced to Sam Wilson, a native of nearby Troy, NY. Rotary Scout Reservation was originally owned by the Uncle Sam Council, and early camp patches feature a profile of the distinctive national icon.
Commemorative council strips will be available at the RSR Trading Post this summer, while supplies last. A limited number of special edition gold bordered versions of the patch are available for a $250 donation to the RSR Thunderbird Club. Only 50 of the gold bordered patches were produced.

Website Questions:
New Medical Form For 2010
In 2009, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America began rolling out a new medical form. Beginning in 2010, this new form is now mandatory for all Scouting activities, including Summer Camp at Rotary Scout Reservation. Older BSA forms, including the Class I, II, and III Forms are no longer acceptable.
To learn what you need to know about the new Health Form, and to download your copy today, please visit our Health & Safety Information page.
Thunderbird Club Campaign 2010
The Thunderbird Club raised nearly $10,000 to support Scouting at RSR in 2009 and we hope to exceed that number in 2010, Scouting’s 100th Anniversary. You can help by making your contribution today. Each and every contribution is important and to thank you we are providing a series of special membership gifts.
