2014
CAMP TUCKAHOE NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL, BSA
Greetings from our Director of Camping!
Dear Parents and Leaders,
How time flies! I can’t help but reflect on that fact as I write to welcome all of you to this, our 2014 Program
Highlights Guide. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since the “New Camp Tuckahoe” opened in 2003.
Introducing a whole generation of Scouts to the new facilities in Cub World, opening our new cabins, Dining
Hall, swimming pool, and establishing new campsites certainly made for an exciting summer! More
importantly, there can be no doubt that those investments certainly made a positive impact on our program over
the years.
Those improvements also ushered in the practice of introducing something new each summer to keep our
program fresh and exciting. We dedicate a significant amount of time each summer to reviewing all of the
helpful feedback we receive, and the result is a program I consider among the best we’ve ever offered.
So, what’s new for Cub and Webelos Resident Camp?
● A brand-new shooting range will be open this summer.
● All of our campwide activities will have a safari theme – Search for the Lost Tuckahoe Tribe!
● Break out your binoculars and telescopes, as the Nature area will focus on Astronomy.
● Our Handicraft area will offer instruction on Art and Music.
● The Sports & Games area will offer new belt loops for Kickball and Volleyball.
● Our Scoutcraft area will work on Camp Cooking skills.
● And for Webelos Scouts, a new area dedicated to STEM activities!
All of these new activities and more are detailed in the pages that follow. As you look through this Guide,
remember that this is just one of several booklets we’ll be publishing to help you prepare for summer camp.
● This Leaders Guide – Program Section explains our schedule, activities, and advancement
opportunities. Parents and leaders alike will want to read about our summer plans and share
them with their Scouts!
● A Den Meeting Activities Guide contains a variety of games, crafts, songs, and stories that can
be incorporated into your den or pack meetings. Each of the ideas relate to our summer camp
theme, so they’re great ways to promote camp!
● The Leaders Guide – Admin Section details all of the procedures, rules, and forms you’ll need
to make a reservation and arrive at camp. This will be most helpful to the Cubmaster or
Camping Chair.
With that, I hope that you’ll share my excitement as we draw closer to summer. Remember that our Open
House will be held on May 3, 2014, and I’ll look forward to welcoming each and every one of you to camp!
Yours in Scouting,
Todd Weidner

2014 PROGRAM THEME:
SCOUTING SAFARI SEARCH FOR THE LOST TUCKAHOE TRIBE
Scouts have always longed to explore the unknown, and stories about brave
explorers are among the favorites of boys everywhere. Indiana Jones and
Daniel Boone remain iconic characters, typifying our ideas about bold
adventurers. Even characters like Tarzan and Mowgli represent the
adventurer’s spirit, for they truly became one with the wilderness. Your
Scouts will undoubtedly want to get into the very same spirit, and we
encourage you to work with them to prepare themed costumes that they can
wear to campfires and other campwide events.
From the barren wastelands of the Arctic tundra to the lush jungles of the
tropics, real adventurers have been pushing back the boundaries of civilization
for centuries. Now – with a Scout’s imagination, of course – there remains just a single wilderness left to be
explored: Tuckahoe. Legend has it that a magnificent civilization once existed deep in the heart of this
mysterious land. If those legends are true, then surely they left behind great wealth and wisdom, just waiting to
be found. Every Scout will be assigned to one of our expedition teams to search for clues of the lost Tuckahoe
Tribe.
But what if those treasures fall into the wrong hands? It just so happens that a rival group
of explorers, led by the evil Doctor Morton von Maligno, is also searching for the
Tuckahoe tribe. Dr. Maligno plans to plunder the ruins to enrich himself, and all can
imagine the damage he’ll do. Your Scouts will need to learn their outdoor skills quickly to
help save Tuckahoe from the ravages of his greedy treasure-hunters.
The Evil Dr. Maligno
CAMP TUCKAHOE NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL, BSA

YOU’LL ENJOY THESE CAMPWIDE EVENTS!
Campwide Event: Outback Excursion (Campwide Games)
The jungles of Tuckahoe hold many perils for inexperienced adventurers, so the Scouts
will prepare by competing in a series of challenges. Games of chance and games of
skill will test their abilities, and they’ll certainly have a lot of fun. But beware, for Dr.
Maligno’s minions have prepared a series of traps to waylay other explorers!
Campwide Event: Jungle Jaunt (Treasure Hunt)
Rumors record that the lost Tuckahoe tribe once possessed a treasure of immeasurable
value! Now, some cryptic clues have surfaced, suggesting that the treasure could be
found. Will the clues lead your Scouts to a buried treasure, or the fabled lost city of
gold? The race is on!
Campwide Event: Castaway’s Challenge (Water Carnival) – Webelos Camp Only
Imagine the explorer’s surprise when they discover that they’re not alone in the jungles of Tuckahoe! A
mysterious hermit – the lone survivor of a forgotten shipwreck – has been dwelling in these woods for years.
This castaway has learned a lot about the land since he was stranded years ago, and he’s willing to share what
he’s learned with those he deems worthy. The Scouts will have to outlast Dr. Maligno’s minions in a series of
water challenges to secure the castaway’s aid. It’ll be a water carnival you won’t soon forget! We’ll be
introducing new water games this year in addition to maintaining some of our old favorites, including the
famous Leaders Belly-Flop Contest!
Campwide Event: Backcountry Bonfire (Campers Campfire) – Webelos Camp Only
Spending so much time on safari affords at least a little time to relax and enjoy some entertainment, so all of our
brave explorers will be invited to perform their best songs, skits, and cheers at our Backcountry Bonfire!
CAMP TUCKAHOE NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL, BSA

A CUB SCOUT’S WORLD
Every Cub Scout will want to explore the Tuckahoe Cub World – a place where imagination and
adventure come to life! We conduct most of our Cub Scout programs in this fantastic setting and, to add to the
attraction, we invite visiting units to schedule an overnight outpost in one of the sleeping facilities. We will do
our best to accommodate all requests for specific sites, but due to the popularity of this program we encourage
you to make your reservations early!
FRONTIER FORT: Crossing the great American plains was fraught with danger, and frontier forts were welcome
outposts of civilization. Your Scouts will love exploring the walls and towers of
our fort as they imagine themselves living life on the prairie. This year-round
cabin can accommodate up to 40 Scouts and leaders, and includes a kitchen,
woodstove, indoor rest rooms, and showers to make your stay more comfortable.
NATIVE AMERICAN VILLAGE: Your Scouts will enjoy learning about the diverse
cultures of America’s first inhabitants in the midst of our Teepee Village. Each
of our four teepees has nine mattresses for the comfort of overnight guests.
MOUNTAINTOP MINE: The cool, dark interior of our mountaintop mine provides welcome relief from the
summer’s heat. Brave Scouts will explore the mine in darkness before emerging on the other side.
MEDIEVAL CASTLE: Our castle calls to mind the distant days of kings,
queens, and knights of the Age of Chivalry. Scouts who scale its stonework
walls will no doubt imagine raising the drawbridge and flooding the moat to
ward off barbarian hordes. Behind the walls they’ll remain safe in a year-
round sleeping lodge, complete with 40 bunks, rest rooms, showers, a
woodstove, and kitchen.
PIRATE SHIP: No tour of Cub World would be complete without stowing away
aboard our Pirate Ship for a taste of some swashbuckling fantasy! Scouts will
man the sails, swarm the deck, and take a turn at the Captain’s Wheel while
exploring the New World in their imaginations. The lower deck contains 20 beds
for overnight visitors – unless they prefer to spend the night stargazing on deck!
BB AND ARCHERY RANGES: Every Scout can imagine himself a sharpshooter when he visits one of our
Shooting Ranges! Scouts will learn to safely shoot while practicing under the watchful eyes of our trained staff.
A slingshot range is also available for an extra challenge.
NATURE TREE HOUSE: This three-story observation deck rises around some of Tuckahoe’s tallest trees, and
here a Scout will be able to immerse himself in the wonders that surround him. Plants, insects, reptiles, birds –
nothing will escape the observant eye!
CUB WORLD ATHLETIC FIELD: Cub Scouts seem to have boundless energy, and our activity field gives them a
great place to run and play.
CUB WORLD PAVILION: This pavilion contains enough seating for any large gathering, making it the perfect
place to meet and make new friends.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
Cub Scout Honor Badge
Every camper will prepare an honor badge on the day they arrive at camp. As your Cub Scouts advance
through our program areas they will earn colored beads to display on this badge. Scouts appreciate this instant
recognition of their efforts, and the honor badge will prove to be a cherished symbol of their time at Tuckahoe.
Polar Bear Swim & Fitness Trail
If you’re in the mood for a little morning exercise, these two programs will
satisfy even the earliest risers! Swimming in the “arctic” water of our pool, or running
through a demanding fitness trail, will surely build your appetite for breakfast.
Interfaith Chapel Service
During every session this summer, Scouts will be invited to a campwide assembly to give thanks and
praise to our Creator. These non-denominational, interfaith services are conducted on Tuckahoe’s historic
Memorial Mall, within sight of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains. Songs will be sung, lessons will be offered,
and all will recall the Scout’s highest obligation is to do his duty to God and country.
Cub World Overnight Excursion
While your campsite will serve as “home base” during your stay at Tuckahoe, every pack can schedule
an overnight excursion to sleep in one of our Cub World theme areas. Reservations will be honored in the order
they are received until all spaces are full, so don’t wait until the last minute to stake your claim! Please indicate
your preference when you register for camp, and expect to be informed of your assignment on the evening of
your arrival.
The Fort and Castle, perennial favorites, each accommodate 40 campers. The Native American Teepee
Village has space for 36 campers, while the Pirate Ship can accommodate 20. Please note that, while not quite
as weatherproof as our other options, in fair weather the teepees and ship can provide overnight experiences that
are impossible to beat!
Participants in this program will transport their own gear from the campsite, so we suggest limiting your
overnight gear to what you can comfortably carry (a sleeping bag and pillow would suit most campers). You
should also plan to awaken early enough to return to your campsite, clean up, and still make it to our morning
flag raising ceremony on time.
Family Night Barbecue
What better way to conclude your stay at Tuckahoe than to host your family and
friends for a little taste of the camping experience? Guests may arrive between 5:00 pm
and 6:00 pm on the final day of each session and, for a small charge, join us for dinner.
Guests may even plan to stay for the closing campfire show! Please inform your guests
in advance of our requirement that all guests check in at our Camp Office upon their
arrival.
