CAMPERSHIPS
PURPOSE:
To provide a fund to assist deserving Scouts who otherwise cannot meet the attendance fees to attend long-term
camping opportunities sponsored by the Council.
GENERAL:
Many Scouts need and deserve help in meeting the expense of attending Scout camping opportunities.
Campership Fund Program recognizes that some Scouts need more help, because of greater need.
The
The amount of the fund will vary from season to season. All Scouts who receive CAMPERSHIPS will be
required to earn part of the fee in accordance with the 9th SCOUT LAW “A Scout is Thrifty”, unless there are
circumstances that make this clearly impossible. No investigation will be made as the Unit Leader is presumed
to have intimate knowledge of the circumstances. Details of the request, approval, and administration must be
such that there is no embarrassment to the Scout or his family. All requests must be received at the Council
Service Center by May 1, 2015 for review by Campership Committee.
POLICIES:
1. Campership funds will be awarded on a first come, first served basis until the fund is exhausted, usually
half of the camp fee unless a lesser amount is requested. Letters of request may be submitted earlier, but
confirmation of Camperships will begin in April and continue until all funds are exhausted.
2. No more than half, and often less than half, of the total attendance fee will be granted from Campership
funds, unless clearly justified.
3. The Campership is based on the Early Bird Fee, once approved and amount given, then the individual
receiving the Campership must submit his portion of fees by the appropriate registration date.
4. Letters of request must clearly indicate any circumstances that prevent the Scout from earning part of the
fee by his own efforts.
5. All requests need to be submitted in letter form to the Mobile Area Council Summer Camp Director.
All requests will be reviewed and we will do our best to provide every boy an opportunity to attend
summer camp.

GETTING READY FOR CAMP
CAMP LEADERSHIP - Each troop registering for summer camp, furnishes its own leadership. The Unit must
provide “TWO-DEEP” Leadership. The Unit Leader must be a BSA registered Adult Scouter, at least 21 years
of age, with current Youth Protection Training, and preferably should be the year-round leader. It is the
responsibility of the Unit Committee to provide trained, top-flight leadership for this important activity.
If the year round Unit Leader cannot attend, good and able leadership can be recruited from the BSA registered
assistant Unit Leaders, Committee Members, or other members of the Chartering institution who are 21 years
old and currently Youth Protection Trained. Assistant leaders at camp may be between the ages of 18 and 21 if
necessary.
Troops with a large number of Scouts attending should secure one or more assistant adult leaders, if at all
possible. All leaders must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND HEALTH - Every Scout and Leader must have a valid Physical
Examination form filled out and updated. Any person coming to camp without having a completed Physical
Examination form will be sent home. Youth and Adult medical forms are available, free of charge, at the
Council Service Center or on line through the council’s website (www.bsamac.org) The Health Lodge will be
staffed by a skilled medic under the direction of the Camp Physician and Camp Director. Arrangements have
been made with local hospitals to handle any emergency treatments.
INSURANCE - All Scouts and Scouters are required to have current insurance coverage. A copy of their
“insurance card” must be attached to their Health Form. In addition, ALL registered Scouts and Scouters of the
Mobile Area Council, BSA are covered by a Health and Accident Insurance Policy for the period of their stay at
camp. It is therefore necessary for every Scout to be checked in and out at the Camp Office. Claims can be
filed for all illnesses and accidents requiring medical care not provided in the Camp Health Lodge. Every
illness or accident must be reported to the Health Officer immediately to receive insurance coverage. Medical
expenses incurred after leaving camp, resulting from an accident or illness taking place at camp, must be
submitted immediately to the Council for clearance with the insurance company.
TRANSPORTATION - Suitable transportation for your Scouts is a very important matter. Tour Plans are the
first step in planning transportation and need to be filed at the Council Service Center a minimum of 14 days in
advance of your arrival at Maubila Scout Reservation. All requirements of the Tour Plan (driver’s age,
seatbelts, insurance coverage, vehicle inspection, etc) need to be met to assure your Troop has a successful trip
to camp.
ARRIVAL TIME - Troops should arrive at camp NO EARLIER THAN 1:00 P.M and NO LATER THAN
3:00 P.M. Arriving to camp early causes unnecessary waiting, and arriving too late causes your troop to miss
the required check-in and orientation.
DEPARTURE TIME - Troops should be prepared to leave by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. A staff member will be
assigned to assist you in checking out. Early Troop departures must be coordinated the day before with the
Camp Director and Program Director.
PROVISIONAL CAMPING UNIT – MAUBILA SCOUT RESERVATION will offer Provisional Camping
as an option for those Scouts, for whatever reason, could not attend camp with their own troop, or who are
returning to camp for an additional week. Please note on the registration form when registering provisional
campers. You may do so by writing “provisional” by the boy’s name.
10
LEAVING CAMP - Since MAUBILA SCOUT RESERVATION is a Boy Scout Camp and the Mobile Area
Council, BSA is responsible for all personnel, we ask that you instruct your Scouts that no one is to leave the
camp without first getting permission from their Unit Leader, and second, the permission of the Camp Director.
Anyone who leaves camp for any reason must sign out at the Camp Office before leaving and sign back in upon
return. This applies to Unit Leaders as well.
DINING HALL - Wholesome food is prepared and served by a professional staff of food service personnel.
Scouts sit 8 to 10 to a table by Troops and meals are served family-style.
VISITORS - Visitors are welcome in camp and are encouraged to attend our Family Night Campfire on Friday
at 8:15 p.m. All visitors are required to check in at the Camp Office. Visitors are invited to dine with their
Scouts in the Dining Hall on Friday night at 6:15 p.m. Unit Leaders will need to submit a total number of
campers and visitors who will be eating in the Dining Hall to the Camp Director by lunch on Thursday.
Visitors’ meals are $5.00 and they will need to purchase meal tickets at the Trading Post upon arrival at camp.
CAMP PHONE - The camp phone is a business phone and will be used only in emergencies. The phone
number will be given to Troop leaders before they depart for camp.
TRADING POST - The well-stocked Camp Trading Post is open each day. A schedule will be posted for
operating hours and will be closed during meals. Ice cream, candy, snacks, soft drinks, BSA catalog items,
Camp Souvenirs, handicraft kits, and sundries are available for purchase. The Trading Post also accepts Visa
and MasterCard Credit and check cards. History shows that a Scout will spend at least $75.00 during their stay
at Camp.
GENERAL CLEANLINESS - Good Scouting is clean…clean camp, speech and personage. We ask you to
pay special attention to your boys and to your campsite. A daily inspection will be made of each troop’s area
and an award given at the end of the week.
VEHICLES IN CAMP - Vehicles may be driven only as far as the parking lot after the Sunday check in. Only
camp vehicles and delivery trucks will be allowed on camp roads per National Camp Standards. The roads are
narrow and dangerous with Scouts walking around. If you need an item transported, check with the Camp
Office. NOTE: SCOUTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE TRANSPORTED IN THE BACK OF TRUCKS
OR ON TRAILERS AT ANYTIME.
ORDER OF THE ARROW - Thursday will be recognized as OA Day. All Arrowmen are encouraged to wear
their sashes on Thursday. Special OA activities will be organized by Woa Cholena Lodge for those in camp.
New This Year!!!!!!!...... 50 Miler Award Program- This year we will be introducing the 50 Miler Award
program for older scouts. This program will take participates out of the normal camp setting. They will camp/
hike/ cook/ and canoe as a crew for the 5 days. NOTE TO SCOUTMASTERS…. These scouts will not be
camping with your troop, so if they are troop leaders you will need to have other leadership in place. More
details will be forthcoming………

If there are “no shows” the Scoutmaster must provide an explanation of “no shows”
from information he has concerning the Scout. If the Scoutmaster is unaware he
must investigate why “no shows” and then provide an explanation within 24 hours.

Advancement Plan at Maubila Scout Reservation
Here are a few tips, tricks, and reminders to help you get the most out of your summer camp experience at
Maubila Scout Reservation…
 Summer camp is not a merit badge “mill,” where you pay a fee and automatically receive three of four
merit badges. Merit badges are just a result of the Maubila Scout Reservation Experience.
 For first year campers (Rawhide), do not schedule them for merit badges beyond their age and
experience level.
 Be aware of which badges require the most skills and physical strength (i.e. - lifesaving, rifle shooting,
environment science, etc.)
 Merit badge work at camp can be made easier if Scouts complete prerequisites and read the merit badge
pamphlet prior to coming to camp.
 Just as they schedule merit badges, Scouts also need to be encouraged to schedule time to work on those
badges outside of class, and even more importantly, to participate in other aspects of the camp program,
including free swim, boating, handicrafts, and more. Take time to sit back and enjoy nature.
 Make your campsite the heart of your camp. Make it comfortable by adding improvement. And, as
always, leave the tents and site in better shape as they were when you arrived.
 Be spirited! Your troop can help the whole camp to come alive and everyone will have a better
experience in their week at camp.
 Be flexible. Each week Maubila Scout Reservation can have as many as 250 people in camp. While the
staff is dedicated to meeting everyone’s needs, sometimes it cannot be done right away or exactly what
you had hoped.
 Communicate! Let the Camp Director or Program Director know how you are doing, what you need,
and how we can help. If you don’t tell us, we’ll never know! We are not afraid of positive criticism, as
it helps to make Maubila Scout Reservation even better.
MERIT BADGES – We have an exciting and successful merit badge program.
If a Scout has qualified on certain requirements prior to coming to camp, it is the responsibility of the
Scoutmaster to document and sign off on those requirements on the Merit Badge Record Card prior to starting
the merit badge class at camp.
How to select merit badge classes:
1)The Scout discusses the merit badge subject with his Scoutmaster and they together develop a merit badge
plan for summer camp.
2) Merit Badge Pre-Sign Up is done using the form found in the appendix of this guide. Some classes are
limited on size. Classes will be given on a first come, first serve basis. However, this form must be submitted
to the council office by May 8, 2015.
14
Merit Badges and Activities
The following is a list of all merit badge classes offered for instruction within each program area by Maubila
Scout Reservation. Trained instructors will follow the recommended BSA instructional material focusing on
those requirements that can be fulfilled while at camp. The instructors will certify in writing, to the
Scoutmaster at the end of the week, those requirements that have been met for each merit badge for each Scout
while at camp.
It is highly recommended that each Scout have a full curriculum of classes and activities during the week.
However, having one period open is not to be seen as a problem. There are also skill sessions for non-merit
badge activities such as Snorkeling BSA. Scouts should review their selected merit badge requirements before
coming to camp.

“RAWHIDE”
FIRST YEAR CAMPER PROGRAM
The “RAWHIDE” Camper Program is for those Scouts attending camp for their first time and need
advancement for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. The Rawhide program schedule takes up
periods 1, 2, and 3. This format allows the Scouts to attend two other merit badge periods (periods 4 and 5.)
“RAWHIDE” is staffed by youth selected for their ability to deliver a program based on the basic Scouting
skills needed for advancement to First Class. The instructors have many years of experience in camping,
hiking, and living the life of a Scout. The Rawhide participants will have their own learning environment
dedicated to meet their advancement needs. The “Patrol Method” of instruction will be used. Rawhide
participants will be able to complete most skills required for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks
while at camp. However, much more than just the rank advancement requirements are taught. This is also
contingent on the Scout attending all classes and dedicating their time to complete the various requirements.
Participation in the Rawhide program is not mandatory; it is left up to the discretion of the Scoutmaster. A
Wednesday night outpost campout will take place to add to the experience.
The Rawhide participants are asked to have the following:
Scout Hand Book
Swimming MB Pamphlet
First Aid MB Pamphlet
Frame Backpack
Canteen
Knife/ Fork/ Spoon
Tent (can be shared)
Ground Cloth
Sleeping Bag
Long Sleeve Button Shirt

Each night there will be a variety of camp-wide activities to interest all Scouts, including troop and individual
competitions. There will be new competitions at camp and we will repeat some of the favorite camp wide
games from years past including “Staff Hunt.”
TROOP NIGHT
Tuesday night will be troop night. This will allow individual troops an opportunity to develop their own
program for that evening. This will help reinforce the patrol method and allow a leadership opportunity for the
boy leadership. Units are afforded the opportunity to cook in their campsite with all needed materials available
for pickup at the dining hall starting at 5:30. This is great for the first year camper to complete one more
requirement. If your unit chooses not to cook in your campsite the same meal will be provided for your unit in
the dining hall.
OA DAY
Thursday is OA day at camp and we invite any OA member to wear a lodge t-shirt during the day. That
evening, Woa Cholena will be hosting a special evening program. A short fellowship will be held in the dining
hall after the program for any OA member.
MAUBILA MARATHON
The Maubila Marathon is the ultimate inter-patrol event for the week. Troops will compete against each other in
event such as knot tying relays, leaf identification, and swim relay. The marathon will be times and points
awarded at certain events. Troops should be prepared with a paddle made from natural materials before they
arrive at camp.
STAFF v. OLDE GOAT VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT
Perhaps one of the most known traditions of Maubila Scout Reservation is when the staff heads off against the
adult leaders in a friendly game of volleyball. Everyone in camp is invited to come cheer on the staff or the
“old goats.”
21
WATER CARNIVAL
The water carnival is held at the lake and offers patrols and individuals to compete in water events like boat
races, belly flop contest, and the greased watermelon competition. The troop with the most points will be
recognized at the closing campfire.
TRAIL BIKES
The trail bikes are for use during patrol and troop free time, Only. They are for a Program Activity, NOT to be
used as transportation to classes. There will be a training class on Sunday evening after dinner. This class is
mandatory with a license issued to Scoutmasters on Monday morning. Scouts will be required to present license
to sign out bikes and will be held responsible for taking care of the bike.
NOTE: Scouts may bring personal bikes with a helmet but must follow BSA regulations and camp rules (i.e.
must wear helmet, closed toe shoes, and must attend training class), Scouts who bring bikes must provide their
own helmet. Camp Maubila is not responsible for lost or damage of personal property.
HONOR TROOP
This award was created to recognize the troops in camp who actively participate in all aspects of the “Maubila
Scout Reservation Experience.” Each troop earning the recognition as Honor Troop will be recognized at the
Friday closing campfire. All requirements must be completed during your stay this year at camp. The
requirement sheet will be handed out at the adult leaders meeting.
TOP TROOP
One “Top Troop” will be awarded based on fulfilling the requirements for the Honor Troop Award AND points
for winning competitions. Points will be awarded following this criteria: 5 points for participation in each
event, then 5 addition point to the 3rd place team, 10 points to the 2nd place team, and 15 points to the 1st place
troop.
CAMPSITE INSPECTION
Each day the camp commissioner will be going to each campsite and completing a campsite inspection. The
troop with the best average for the week will be recognized at the Friday closing campfire.
22
Adult Program Activities
Too often, our summer camp planning is made around programming for the Scouts. The leaders are
overlooked. Throughout the week, unit adults have many choices for spending their free time. Maubila Scout
Reservation provides several opportunities to make an adult’s stay at camp a pleasant one.
