IntroductionThe Boy Scouts of America has developed National Camping Schools to support local councils by training key adult personnel in the best methods of Scout camping. National Camping Schools follow a national curriculum with emphasis on communicating the mission of the Boy Scouts of America and the purpose of Scout camping. National Camping School certification is granted for a five-season period to those who satisfactorily complete the training.

ObjectivesThe objectives of National Camping School are to:

• Develop a better understanding of the purposes, program, and methods of camping utilized byBSA council camps.

• Assure more effective and uniform camp staff training in local council camps.

• Promote year-round outdoor camp program opportunities, with application of appropriate safetystandards for the well-being of all participants.

• Prepare camp staff to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every camper, leader, visitor,and staff member.

• Prepare camp staff to ensure that each camper and leader obtains a quality program.

• The camp selected is expected to be a model camp showing what a “Scouting Brand” camp lookslike.

• National Camping School offers training for adults registered with the Boy Scouts of America andemployed full time or seasonally by a local council.

6

National Camping School FacultyFaculty SelectionThe faculty of National Camping School provides the example of excellence in instruction and represents the National Council through this course. For this reason, the selection of National Camping School staff should not be taken lightly.

• Faculty selection for each National Camping School is the responsibility of the OutdoorPrograms team of the National BSA and the Course Director of the school.

• Opportunities to serve on a National Camping School faculty should be rotated. While it isbeneficial to have some returning faculty with a wealth of knowledge and experience toserve, new faculty members will bring fresh ideas and reinforce their previous learning byinstructing others.

• At least one new faculty member and one veteran faculty member should be assigned toeach section of National Camping School.

• Each NCS section has an approved faculty ratio/ allotment. Any additional faculty MUST beapproved by the National Outdoor Programs NCS coordinator in advance.

Qualifications of staff members To be eligible to instruct at National Camping School, a faculty member must:

• Be approved by their home council and Outdoor Programs to serve on staff prior to beingasked to serve.

• Be a registered member of the BSA.• Hold a current and valid National Camping School training card in the section he or she will be

instructing or have specific expertise in the subject to be taught. (Example: A wildlife biologist,although not trained in ecology and conservation, may be a prime prospect for instructing thatsection because of training in and knowledge of the subject.).

• Be committed to the ideals and objectives of the Boy Scouts of America.• Provide a positive attitude, teamwork skills, and mature leadership.• Have Scouting experience, teaching ability, appropriate outdoor skills.• Wear the current official BSA uniform according to the Uniform Insignia Guide.

ALL faculty (including the course director and council liaison) MUST hold a current card for the Unlawful Harassment Prevention training and current Youth Protection Training.

Qualifications of National Camping School ParticipantsTo be eligible to attend National Camping School, all participants must:

• Be a registered member of the BSA• Bea t least 18 years old (unless approved in advance by National Outdoor Programs Team)• Hold a current card in Youth protection training.• Meet the prerequisites for some courses. It is the job of the National Camping School Course

Director to maintain a high standard for the course. For this reason, if a participant arrives atNCS without the correct prerequisites or that do not meet the requirements, this participantmust be sent home on day 1 or as soon as feasible based on transportation. This should bean exception and should not happen often thanks to everyone's pre-NCS communicationefforts. If a participant is sent home, (at any time before, or during the course) a call must bemade to the employing Scout Executive and the National Outdoor Programs NCSCoordinator.

• To alleviate this issue, Course Directors should be in contact with participants prior to NCS torequest prerequisites. If there is a problem, work with Outdoor Programs and the local councilto correct this prior to NCS.

7

National Camping School Host Site

Medical RequirementsAll National Camping Schools must comply with the following medical requirements.

• Make prior arrangements, including method of payment, with local emergency medicalservices and/or a hospital to accept camp school participants.

• Established written procedures must be compiled for handling medical emergencies,including the staff person assigned and location of telephones.

• Display emergency procedures on designated phones. Include names and phonenumbers for the emergency rescue/ambulance squad; hospital; physician; and others asmay be needed. Include also the name and location of the camp so the caller canproperly direct the rescue squad.

• Provide a basic first-aid kit. In addition to a first-aid kit, the facility meeting standardsdescribed in NCAP Standard HS-510 will be required.

• All faculty and participants will provide a current BSA Annual Health and Medical RecordParts A, B, and C. A medical screening must be conducted within 24 hours of arrivalfollowing the procedure described in NCAP Standard HS-504. If a person arrives withouthaving had a medical examination or without evidence of one, a full examination mustbe given for which the participant will be expected to pay the cost.

• Designate one person on the faculty or staff as the health officer. This person should beavailable at the health lodge at designated times during the day. This person shouldmeet the minimum requirements as specified in NCAP Standard SQ-405.

Meeting PlacesFaculty/Camp OfficeA room or building must be designated as the NCS camp office. This facility may in some cases have a multipurpose function (first aid, mail room, audiovisual-literature-supply checkout, etc.). If the summer camp office cannot serve in this capacity, another room must be provided.

Schools with Camp Director and Program Director SectionsA room large enough to accommodate the Camp Director and Program Director sections is required if these sections are offered as there are some modules that require joint participation. Each section will also need a breakout room for its specific participants. Rooms should be large enough to accommodate tables and chairs for participants, with sufficient space for displays and group activities. Ideally, rooms should be located far enough apart to prevent each group from distracting the other.

8

Other meeting spacesA meeting room large enough to accommodate combined sessions of the entire school is a necessity, as well as meeting places for the individual sections at a location.

The TREK, Shooting Sports, C.O.P.E, Climbing, Outdoor Skills, Ecology, and Aquatics sections will spend the majority of time at the respective program areas. Therefore, it is imperative that these facilities be available for the school (if that section is offered) and that they meet BSA program requirements as set out in the NCAP process. The facilities MUST be ready prior to NCS staff arrival.

The temperature of the pool or lake water must be warm enough for swimming whenever an Aquatics section is included in a National Camping School. Preferably that should be 70 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer for continued “in the water” training. Marginally, a temperature between 65- and 70-degrees fahrenheit is acceptable for short periods of time. When transportation to the aquatics site is required, standards as listed in the Guide to Safe Scouting will apply.

The Ecology/Conservation section should have a natural area in which conservation projects can be demonstrated. An area appropriate for an ecology/conservation trail is also needed.

The Outdoor Skills section will also need an outpost camp. Desirable camping areas must exist within hiking distance for the Outdoor Skills overnight campout as part of the prescribed National Camping School training. Make sure participants are informed before attending camp school that they should bring the necessary equipment for this overnight activity.

The shooting sports section (if offered) requires NCAP ready shooting ranges, equipment, and ammunition for each discipline. In addition, all program materials listed in this guide must be supplied by the host council.

COPE and Climbing sections will require access to the COPE and Climbing facilities.

COPE/Climbing facilities must meet all NCAP standards, but particularly FA-715 regarding inspections.

Other sections each require a meeting room equipped with sufficient tables and chairs arranged in classroom or conference style for rainy day or evening sessions.

Trading PostEvery National Camping School should have a local trading post such as ordinarily found at Scout camps. National Supply will provide Trading Post examples for the display of National Camping School items and fliers showing how to order them. A trading post should be operated by the host council. Councils have the option to keep the sample products from National Supply and will be billed accordingly. Councils have the option to return these kits complete in sellable condition to National Supply without penalty.

9

Facility StandardsFaculty HousingFaculty and participants should have separate housing accommodations. Each faculty member needs a place to prepare lessons, do evaluations, and relax. If possible, all faculty members should be housed in a comfortable, indoor facility.Participant HousingEarly in the year, National Camping Schools should be held at indoor facilities with adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation. Participants should have a recommended 100 square feet of personal space, with provisions for storage of personal items. The recommended ratio of toilet, shower, and lavatory facilities is a minimum of one for every six participants. (min 1:15)Facilities for Male and Female Age Groups All sleeping, restroom and shower accommodations must follow the most recent guidelines listed in the Guide to Safe Scouting.Dining FacilitiesIdeally, the National Camping School has exclusive use of the dining room so that mealtime presentations can be made. The dining room must be large enough to seat all participants and faculty members in one seating.Food ServiceAn important part of National Camping School success lies in attention given to creature comforts made available to both faculty and participants, not only in housing and lavatory facilities but also in food service. For that reason, pay special attention to the school menu.

It is important to remember that everything done at a National Camping School should provide participants with ideas and models for use in their own camps. With that in mind, consider these suggestions as you plan:

• Special requests. Consider special dietary needs and individual choices. Reviewparticipant information and be prepared to meet special dietary needs andcommunicate with these participants in advance of the course how the needs will bemet.

• Coordination. At least 24 hours in advance of the affected meal, notify the kitchenof any adjustment in the number of people to be served. Example: The Trek Leadersection is on an overnighter; this section will miss dinner and breakfast on certaindays. Review NCS weekly schedule to ensure host council liaison is well informed ofschedule and meals counts.

• On-time service. Announce mealtimes in advance and adhere to those timesthrough close coordination with the host council coordinator and/or cook.

• Salad bars. Each site must, provide a salad bar at lunchtime and dinnertime. Itemson the bar could include lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, green peppers,kidney beans, bacon bits, coleslaw, potato salad, three-bean salad, and a variety ofsalad dressings. A breakfast bar with fruit, cereal, and yogurt should also beprovided.

• Cracker barrels. Offer an end-of-the-evening snack to provide opportunity forsharing ideas and fellowship. Food might include cheese, crackers, pretzels,popcorn, cold cuts, cookies, cake, fruit, and appropriate leftovers. Beverages couldinclude coffee, tea, cocoa, punch, fruit juices, soft drinks.

10

Food Service Continued:• Extras. Add food items if physical exertion and/or weather dictates. Water or punch,

hot beverages, fresh fruit, and hard candy for energy may be appropriate. Checkwith section directors for these special needs and delivery methods. Outdoor Skillswill have to cook out and will need to coordinate with food service to provide itemsneeded.

• Theme meals. Have some fun and enhance the program by building meals arounda theme:

o Ethnic menus (Mexican, Italian, Chinese)o Holidays, real or created (Independence Day, Christmas in summer)o Competitions (Olympics, water carnival, Frontier Days)

• Serving options. Not every facility will lend itself to using each these options butconsider varying the methods of serving food.

o Family styleo Host/waiter/guest styleo Cafeteria style

• Special events. Consider holding an outdoor barbecue or picnic for a change. Orperhaps the Scoutcraft/Outdoor Skills section will agree to prepare a Dutch ovenmeal for the entire school.

• Discuss cleanup in the dining hall. One important part of the opening meal is adiscussion of the cleanup procedures for the camp. Use this time to explain theprocess that will be used for the remainder of the time at camp. The host councilliaison should be used to help with this explanation and any other camp specificreminders.

• Mini food show (optional) This is a good way to show different food serviceoptions for your camps. Invite the food service representative to put this together forlunch on day 3 as a practical application for the Camp Director section with respectto food purchase. For help with this, contact Outdoor programs for a US Foodservice representative in the area.

• A final comment: Cooks and other food service personnel are critical to thesuccess of any camp! Involve them in planning, explain the rationale for yourdecisions, communicate constantly, and recognize their efforts. Food service is acritical component to the success of any camp, including National Camping School.

National Camping School Pre-Event RemindersExpensesNo expenses will be reimbursed without approval from Outdoor Programs Coordinator:

• All program equipment for the courses being taught are the responsibility of thehost council as defined by the letter of agreement signed by the host council.

• Any expense not related to program must be approved by Outdoor Programs priorto the purchase in order for the local council to be reimbursed.

• Local council will be charged for any extra NCS kits and binders not returned toNational Supply or shipped according to instruction from Outdoor Programs.NOTE: Kit usage must be consistent with numbers who took the course and staff.

Camp Readiness - Camp must be ready before staff arrive for NCS• It is the responsibility of the host council to meet all current NCAP standards prior to

the arrival of staff and the opening of the NCS.• This expectation is set forth in the host council agreement.• Failure to meet this standard could eliminate the council from consideration for future

schools and damages not only the camp's brand, but the brand of National CampingSchool. Use NCS to put your "best foot forward!"

11

National Camping School - During Course Reminders Weekly Schedule:Schedule

• Daily schedule updates - a daily schedule must be published for eachparticipant and distributed upon participant arrival at camp. A participantcheck-in packet could include a schedule, camp map and other camp specificinformation.

Safety Moments• Safety is an essential element of all we do in Scouting. To this end, safety

moments have been developed as a reminder that everyone is in charge of campsafety. A safety moment is required to be shared at each gathering of the BSA. Tomodel this behavior, safety moments should be a part of the opening ceremonyeach morning and at lunch daily. For a list of safety moments, visit https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/safety-moments/. This is an opportunity forparticipants to present information to the school. Look for topics that would relate tocamp or the camp environment.

Flag Ceremonies• Opening ceremonies are an important part of any camp experience. NCS

participants are encouraged to be a part of the ceremonies and share their campceremonies at NCS. These ceremonies will be led by the Program DirectorSections of the school as a practical experience. It is also important to be aware ofthe flags that are flown at the camp. It is appropriate to fly the flag of the USA andthe flag of the state in which the school is hosted (if more than one flag is used atcamp). If three flags are used, it is appropriate to fly the world brotherhood flag, thecamp flag of the camp hosting, or the council flag of the host council.

Uniform Standard• NCS staff must wear proper uniform that meets the standard set forth in the

uniform insignia guide https://www.scouting.org/resources/insignia-guide/• Uniform should be current and have no "unofficial" patches.• All insignia must be in the proper location on the uniform.• Although past uniforms may be worn for historic purpose, staff are expected to

wear the most current BSA complete field uniform and appropriate insignia.

12

Camp Programs - Songs and Campfire skitsAll aspects of NCS should model the best in Scouting and Scout camping, including songs and campfires. There are NO exceptions to maintaining this high standard.Fun is an important element of Scouting. But we must remember that everything we do must be positive and meaningful. Activities should build self-esteem, be appropriate, and not offend participants or the audience.

As leaders of the Boy Scouts of America, it is our responsibility to model the values of the organization and set a high standard for appropriateness in all Scouting activities. When making decisions, resolve to follow the high road — “If in doubt, take it out.”These are some of the things that make activities inappropriate and unacceptable:

• Name-calling, put-downs, or hazing• References to undergarments, nudity, or bodily functions• Cross-gender impersonation• Derogatory references to or stereotyping of ethnic or cultural backgrounds, economic

situations, or disabilities• Sensitive social issues such as alcohol, drugs, gangs, guns, suicide, etc.• Wasteful, ill-mannered, or improper use of food or water including wasting food in any

way for comedic purpose• Inside jokes that exclude some of those present• Cultural exclusion—emphasis on the culture or faith of part of the group while ignoring

that of the rest of the group• Changing lyrics to patriotic songs (“America,” “America the Beautiful,” “God Bless

America,” “The Star-Spangled Banner”) or to hymns and other spiritual songs.• No embarrassing anyone - including staff or audience member (even if they are "in on

it")• No portraying violent behavior or any behavior not in line with th guide to safe Scouting

(ex. pointing "guns" at each other)• No bathroom humor• No water skits - No one gets wet in any way• No sexual overtones• No material that is not consistent with BSA standards

SongsThe appropriate use of songs can reinforce positive values while interjecting humor and fun. Establishing a simple approval process reduces the likelihood of something inappropriate being presented at camp. The Program Director sections camp help to manage this process and is a valuable learning opportunity for their participants.

Skits As a course director and representative of the BSA, it is your responsibility to set a high standard for appropriateness when it comes to what skits should or should not be allowed at any program. Raunchy humor, bodily functions, and making fun of someone will always get a laugh from the participants, but there are much better choices when planning material for a program.

As a camp leader, it is critical that all material be screened prior to presentation so nobody is surprised or offended. There are arguably gray areas, but the best advice is that these gray areas must be avoided. If everything was rated on a scale of 1 to 10, let’s use the “8” material instead of the “2” material. Let’s raise the bar and make sure everything presented is up to BSA standards.

13

Emergency Procedures• A detailed discussion of the emergency procedures for the camp (and an

emergency drill) will be given within 24 hours of the arrival at camp.• Local council liaison should lead this discussion at the opening lunch session.

Patrol Method• It is important to model the best of Scouting which includes the patrol method.• Schools are encouraged to use the sections to develop patrols and have patrols

line up for flags daily.• Other patrol ideas would be to have patrols lead grace or flags prior to meals.• Although the patrol method is important, there is not time or need for patrol

competitions during the week.

National Supply• NCS staff and participants are offered the opportunity to purchase NCS branded

items from National Supply. Staff and schools should not make or produce theirown NCS branded items (special shirts, hats, etc.) whether for some or all of thestaff/ participants. Each staff member will also receive a staff gift an as such,course directors should not feel the need to add additional items for staffrecognition.

• All NCS participants and staff will receive a "free shipping" code to order NCSbranded items.

• All NCS participants and staff will receive a NCS kit of materials for the sections forwhich they are registered. These kits will come from National Supply prior to theNCS course.

Miscellaneous World Friendship Fund

• The World Friendship Fund gives both youth members and adult Scouters of theBoy Scouts of America an opportunity to help fellow Scouts in need of support incountries around the world.

• In recent years, the development of new nations and the democratization of othershave afforded the Scouting movement new opportunities to influence the youngpeople in those countries. Contributions to the World Friendship Fund have helpedprovide needed materials for training, camping, manuals, uniforms, and audiovisualaids.

• National Camping Schools are encouraged to designate offerings at Scout's Ownservices for the World Friendship Fund. Money collected is to be turned in to theLocal Council Liaison for transmitting to the International Department, Boy Scoutsof America, P.O. Box 152079, Irving, TX 75015-2079.

Scout's Own• The 12th point of the Scout Law is a Scout is Reverent. Care should be taken to

allow all participants to worship in accordance with their faith. To this end, NCSwill conduct a Scout's Own Service during the course.

1. The faculty of a National Camping School has an important responsibility. How you interpretthe camping program of the Boy Scouts of America will influence dozens of camps andthousands of youth. The invitation to serve was based on experience, knowledge, and ability.So, “Be Prepared” and “Do Your Best”.

2. The National Camping School is conducted on behalf of the National Council of the BoyScouts of America; keep a professional attitude throughout.

3. In advance, let participants know what you expect – how you will operate your section.Welcome suggestions from others.

4. Set the best example. Be positive, friendly, and sincerely helpful. Avoid the cheap, tawdry, off-color, and anything of questionable taste. Remember what you do at a National CampingSchool will very likely be repeated at one of the camps represented.

5. Each section has lesson plans, and it is important that these be followed closely.Improvements in the suggested techniques are acceptable if the content and spirit of thelesson are not changed. It is vital to see that all learning objectives are met and all teachingpoints are made. Be creative in teaching styles and use best techniques. Do not changecontent.

6. Schedule enough breaks to keep everyone alert. Look for opportunities for“hands-on” and “student involvement” experiences. Build in lots of activity right after lunch.

7. Camp School should NOT be a marathon experience for participants and faculty members.

8. Project work times have now been scheduled to let participants work on projects that relate totheir positions. Do not use this time for other purposes.

9. Be flexible! The schedule may call for two hours on a particular topic, but based on the group,there could be a need for more or less time to fulfill the learning objectives.

10. Start a poster at registration for participants to list “burning issues” they would like addressedduring the school. Refer to it often and make sure to answer these questions before the end ofthe school.

11. Make a distinction between what’s in the section manual or staff guide and your personalopinion. Be sure that students understand the Boy Scouts of America recommendation beforeyou suggest an option that might have been successful locally. All suggestions must fall withinBSA policy. - care should be taken to limit "this is how we do it at my camp" (war stories)

12. Be prepared at least one full day ahead of the start of the school.

13. ALL staff MUST complete the Unlawful Harassment Prevention training for camp staffmembers in order to serve on staff.
