Summer Camp Program

 

The Real Summer Place To Be

Citizenship.  Character development.  Fitness. 


These are the aims of Scouting and the goals of the Rotary Scout Reservation Summer Camp program.  RSR offers instruction in 40 merit badges including 6 on the Eagle required list (Camping, Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Science, First Aid, Lifesaving, and Swimming)  In addition, we are pleased to offer a number of fun and exciting non-merit badge programs (such as COPE, BSA Lifeguard, Geocaching, and Advanced Backwoodsman), each one designed to give a Scout the summer adventure of a lifetime.

Merit Badge Records

Rotary Scout Reservation maintains a record of all merit badges completed and partials earned at summer camp.  These records are stored for at least eight years.


BSA policy is that any partially completed merit badge may be completed at any time until the Scout’s 18th birthday.  If the requirements for the badge are changed at any point after the badge is begun, the Scout has the right to complete the badge under the original requirements.  If a Scout earns a partial while at RSR Summer Camp and subsequently loses his blue card, he can get the record of his past work from the Camp Office.


The Camp is also able to provide verification of completed merit badges when the Scout’s blue card is lost.


To inquire about a merit badge record from a past season or to request a reissued blue card, please email programdirector@rsrbsa.org.
