Welcome to our Camp Avondale Summer Camp. Scouts of all ages and Scouters can enjoy an outstanding summer camp program. From the " First Class Quest" - to our merit badge program, and our challenging older youth program, Scouts of all ages will experience fun and adventure while maximizing their advancement opportunities.
The Istrouma Area Council will offer the opportunity for campers to earn most of the requirements to achieve First Class in the 1st year program called " First Class Quest".
We will offer the opportunity to work on outdoor skills, citizenship, first aid and swimming. There will also be free time for free shooting, archery, climbing, boating and much, much more. It is intended to get through most of the requirements except the physical fitness, participation, money, recruiting, and Scout Spirit portions of the requirements through the rank of First Class. All registration will be on-line.
Step two is to sign up your youth and submit fees. As such, we are requiring troops to collect and submit fees as a unit rather than having Scouts pay individually. The camp program will end after the Friday Night Closing Campfire. Units are encouraged to stay Friday night and enjoy the provided breakfast Sturday morning.
We strongly urge Units not to travel late on Friday night, but during daylight on Saturday. This is an all-inclusive fee and no additional program fees will be incurred. Also, there is no early fee or late fee. Meal tickets must be purchased at the Trading Post. Any adult leaders who are spending any night at camp must be registered members of the BSA, have a Physical and must have current Youth Protection Training.
