Troop 200 will be attending summer camp at Camp Friedlander, which is just outside of Cincinnati, OH. We have attended this camp as a Troop since 2011, so some of the older Scouts know it very well. The camp is a very nice location and completed significant upgrades in 2002 with new restroom/showers and dining hall.
There is a very nice lake area with canoes, row boats, kayaks, sail boats, and “the blob”. There is also a pool where much of the swimming merit badge instruction is provided.
The rifle and shotgun ranges are a distant hike, but our camp sites are the closest camp site location to these areas. There is also a nice archery range on the other side of the camp. (Note: Scouts will need tokens from trading post for open-session rifle and shotgun. Open archery is no cost.)
Typical Schedule
All first year Scouts in Troop 200 will be signed up for First Aid merit badge and Swimming (either swimming merit badge or instructional swim, depending upon ability). Several craft merit badges that boys usually find entertaining are leather work, fingerprinting, photography, and the like.
Other Merit Badges
Swimming, First Aid, along with open swim / open ranges and other activities provide a good first year experience. If your Scout is driven, they may want to select an additional merit badge. First year Scouts are not typically eligible for Shotgun, Rifle, Climbing, Emergency Prep, and Metal Works. Fishing, space exploration, geocaching, and most merit badges offered in Handicraft and Cultural Village are good choices for first year scouts. A list of merit badge offerings is available on the Troop 200 web site under “Documents / Summer Camp”. (2016 schedule available in February)
Facilities / Food / Free Time
Scouts will tent in “sites” of 30-60 people. Canvas tents with wood platforms are provided. Each tent holds two cots and pads. First year Scouts will tent with other first year Scouts. Typically Scouts will decide who to tent with before arriving at camp.
The troop eats breakfast, lunch and dinner together in the dining hall each day. The troop typically leaves from our camp site(s) for breakfast and dinner as a troop, while the lunch meal is “meet up” at the dining hall, since many of the Scouts are in program areas immediately before lunch. Food is plentiful. In addition to the main meal, there is always breakfast cereal in the morning and a salad bar for lunch and dinner. Allergy and special diet menus are available by completing “special diet request” form. Vegetarian options are always available; no special diet request form is needed.
Your son will have 1 hour of free time after lunch and before dinner. They may also have additional free time between sessions, depending upon chosen schedule. We recommend keeping the 4:00-5:00 session open to take advantage of the open swim, boating and shooting ranges. There is also a variety of open programs areas after dinner. And yes, there is a trading post.
Gear: Start looking for a large foot locker. No tent, mess kit, sleeping pad or hiking boots needed.
Typical Schedule
Your Scout will be in merit badge classes with Scouts from Troop 200 as well as Scouts from other troops. We will attempt to schedule Troop 200 scouts that are from the same cub scout pack together in classes as possible. The following is a typical schedule and will run Monday – Friday. Actual class times will vary.
