This provisional program is offered jointly by Camp Hinds and Madockawanda Lodge for OA members only. Scouts coming to camp week 1 with their own unit are not eligible to participate.  During the first two periods Scouts may take merit badges from the regular schedule. During period 3, we will offer a special merit badge for OA camp participants. The afternoon and evening programs will be developed by the lodge.. Participants will sponsor a special OA compfire on Thursday evenings. Detailed information will be published by the Lodge when the plan is complete.

This provisional program is offered for Scouts who love to fish.  Scouts coming to camp week 1 with their own unit are not eligible to participate.  During the morning Scouts will work on Fishing MB, Fly Fishing MB, and Fish and Wildlife Management MB.  The afternoon and evening will provide 3 or 4 different fishing experiences such as lake fishing, river fishing, brook fishing, deep sea fishing, and lobster fishing.

We often hear from older Scouts, “I can’t get the whole week off from work to come to camp”. Hee is a chance to come to camp for a day or two.  We will have several leaders and merit badge counselors come into camp for a day and off a merit badge not usually available in camp. A schedule of badges will be published later. If you have a particular merit badge you would like to see offered, contact the camp director.  Scouts will check?in after dinner the day before the class, spend the night on provisional, get three meals the next day, and 6 hours of instruction. Check out will be after dinner that evening. Cost will be $70.00/day.

This is a unit based opportunity for Pine Tree Council to better accommodate out Scouts who have special needs. We will provide great staff ratios thanks to our many able volunteers. Each Scout will take two merit badges and the until will participate in various troop activities such as swimming, boating, archery, rifle, climbing, etc.
