VOLUNTEER TO WORK WITH THE CAMP STAFF
• Want to make camp merit badge instruction better ... we have need of about 5 Camp
Commissioners each week of camp. Camp Commissioners will attend camp at half price if
they sign up at the Scout Service Center before camp. If they volunteer at camp they'll get a
camp T-shirt or hat. Camp Commissioners, will not be able to provide two-deep unit
leadership. They may be asked to help us develop new program. These individuals will sit in
on programs, monitor instruction, and inspect campsites. Their units will also receive points
towards being a Woodsman Honor Troop and Bull of the Woods.
We are always looking for leaders who would like to teach a Merit Badge during their week at
camp. As we seek to improve the quality of our merit badge instruction and implement
innovative programs, we need honest opinions and assistance from people who can make
observations and provide timely feedback to canlp managers. Contact Judy at 376-4411.

INFORMATION ABOUT CAMP MORRISON
CAMP MORRISON
Youth can earn merit badges while they're at camp, but if that's the only reason they're corn­
ing to camp, the key element is missing. Camp Morrison in 2015 will be your greatest opportunity as
a leader to show your youth that you're a caring adult who can help them through life's challenges.
The most important things that happen at camp, happen in the campsite after the daily
program is done. Reserve your campsite and plan your activities now! Schedule time for per­
sonal achievement (merit badges or rank advancement), unit service projects, and fun. This Leader's
Guide will give you all the information you need to have a great week at camp. There are over 30
outdoor-related merit badges in staffed program areas. Payette Lake is the perfect setting for Camp
Morrison's outstanding aquatics program. An Adventure Race, now in its 7th year and specialty ad­
venture program for older youth, shooting sports, ecology, conservation, Scoutcraft activities, and
handicrafts provide opportunities for youth of all ages.
campfire program that can rival profession­
al theatre will crown your summer camp experience. A Scout's dream of a real wilderness survival
experience is waiting to be fulfilled at Camp Morrison.
YOUR ROLE AS A CAMP LEADER
The Scoutmaster sets the example. When necessary, put on your mosquito repellent and en­
sure your youth put on theirs. West Nile Virus (please see the State ofIdaho website http://
healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/HealtblDiseasesConditions/WestNileVirus/tabid/112/default.aspx for
more information) is an ever present irritant; let's do what we can to stay protected. Wear a complete
uniform to morning and evening flag ceremonies to encourage your boys to follow your lead. Attend
the daily 10:00 a.m. Roundtable; that's where you'll get important updates and information
and training about what's going on each day. Ensure your Scouts practice good fire safety. If the
Scoutmaster is unable to attend camp the troop committee must see that there is strong leadership for
your troop at camp. The Scoutmaster in camp must be at least 21 years old. Assistant leaders must
be at least 18 years old. While at camp, your troop must have at least two on-site qualified adult
leaders at all times. Troopsfailing to meet this requirement will be a!isessed "Provisional Leaders"
fees. (See Camp Morrison Costs)
The troop at camp should include its regular year-round leadership staff. Each patrol func­
tions best when it is underneath its own leadership. The troop is run by the Senior Patrol Leader. He
is the key junior leader. He should be well trained to carry out his camp responsibilities. He will be
invited to serve on the camp Senior Patrol Leader's Council.
The camp staff will be helpful in the support of your leadership regardless of experience. The
success ofyour camp program should not be measured in terms of the number of badges earned,
but should be measured by the extent to which the troop has learned to stand on its own two feet, to
use boy leaders, to train its own instructors in Scouting skills, to acquire new interests that stimulate
program in the ensuing year, and to strengthen the individual Scout.
The skills that your troop leadership bring to camp combined with those of our highly skilled
staff will ensure that the Scouts have a top notch experience. Please make the fullest use of these
leadership resources for the benefit of your troop. One of the most enjoyable parts of camp for the
Scoutmaster is getting acquainted with the other adult leaders. There are always opportunities for for­
mal and informal competition, time to share ideas, and time for fellowship. On Wednesday from 12
to 1:30 p.m. we will have a Scout Executive's Fireside with a private lunch
provided. Bring your questions, comments, and ideas.
Make your summer camp plans TODAY! This will help troops avoid late
and fami­
lies will be able to plan their activities around summer camp. Expect your Scouts to be there. Talk to
new Scouts and their parents as if they will be going too. We'll see you and

PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION.

2015 INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR VOLUNTEERS
Listed below are brief outlines of insurance coverage provided by or through the Ore-Ida
Council and the Boy Scouts of America.
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
Liability coverage is to cover you as leader should you be sued by a parent. It does not cover
medical expenses.
This coverage provides protection for the Council, all Scouting professionals and employees,
Scouting units, chartered organizations, and volunteer Scouters (whether registered or not registered)
with respect to claims arising in the performance of their duties in Scouting. Coverage is more than
$15,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage.
The insurance provided to Scouting volunteers through the BSA General Liability Insurance
program is excess over any other insurance the volunteers might have to his or her benefit, usually a
homeowners, personal liability, or auto liability policy. There is no coverage for those who commit
intentionally negligent or criminal acts.
By providing insurance coverage to volunteers on an excess basis, BSA is able to purchase
higher limits. Because of the high limits, volunteers should NOT be placed in a position where their
assets are jeopardized because of a negligence liability claim or lawsuit.
Automobile Liability Insurance
(This is also not Medical/Accident Insurance coverage!)
See tour plan for automobile insurance requirements.
Unit Accident Insurance Plan (HSR, Deseret Mutual, etc., - Unit provides for themselves)
Unit accident insurance forms are available through the Council; information is sent to each
unit every year in their Charter Renewal Kits, and the coverage must be applied for by the unit. This
plan provides for coverage for accident medical expenses and accidental death and dismemberment
while participating in any approved and supervised Scouting activity, including going to and from
meetings. New members are automatically covered under the plan until the renewal date. Non­
Scouts attending scheduled activities (including group travel to and from these activities) for the
purpose of being encouraged to participate in Scouting are also automatically covered. However,
this plan does not cover parents, siblings, or other guests. PLEASE REPORT ALL SERIOUS
INCIDENTS, ACCIDENTS AND SICKNESS TO THE CAMP DIRECTOR IMMEDIATELY
Camp Morrison2015

PROGRAMS AT CAMP MORRISON
IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR CAMP PLAN.
l. Most merit badges are divided into four (4) - one hour sessions. There will be six (6) such
sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and three (3) sessions on Monday and Friday.
Sessions one (1) through six (6) are structured "classes" where you will be taken through the entire
Merit Badge over the next four (4) days. To have a Merit Badge signed-off, each Scout must pass
a written practical/oral examination. Waterfront and climbing merit badges are 1 112 hour classes.
Cooking is 3 hours.
2. Meet with your SPL each morning to go over the day's activity plans for the troop and each patrol;
follow up with the SPL each evening to review the events of the day. Make sure the SPL
understands how to work the plan. Remember, this is a boy led process. Touch base with him
when you feel your counsel is needed. Help him help the Patrol Leaders keep their Scouts on
track. When you follow these guidelines you will create a large number of opportunities for your
Scouts to practice and exercise their leadership. You will help
each Scout assume responsibility for the accomplishment of his
personal goals.
3. We hope that you and your Scouts will accomplish all of the
things your troop sets out to do at summer camp this year. We
trust that your troop will be able to leave camp stronger, better
trained, and more enthusiastic than ever before. Please take the
time to carefully plan your troop's summer camp program with
your Troop Leader Council, so that the wildest expectations of your Scouts can be realized this
commg summer.
MERIT BADGES
Merit Badges are a part of Scouting for three reasons. First, they encourage youth to increase
their skills in things. Second, they challenge youth to tryout new activities that may result in fresh
interests or hobbies. One of these may even start them on a path to a career. Thirdly, they encourage
association with adults to prepare them for the future.
PRE-REGISTERING FOR MERIT BADGES
Pre-registration for merit badges may be done through an online website; this must bt~ done at
least TWO WEEKS prior to your arrival at camp.
You are required to sign up for BadgeTracker at the council office. Email Johnny at
. or call (208) 376-4411. Provide the following information: name, email
address (not AOL), troop number, week at camp, and number of youth. When your account has been
set up, you will receive an email from BadgeTracker giving you information about how to enter your
data.
If you don't pre-register for merit badges before camp, we will still assist you at camp, but it
will be time consuming and frustrating for you; the later you register, the more likely classes may not
be available. There is a worksheet (pages 12 - 14) to assist you. Write numbers next to the merit
badges for each Scout in order of preference (1-6). Keep this as a record of what the boys want in case
we need to change them for any reason while they're at camp.
Bring the youth's schedules with you to camp, we don't have easy access
Page 6
to them at camp and your check-in could be delayed if you don't have them.
YOUTH PROTEC1~ION GUIDELINES AT CAMP The Boy Scouts ofAmerica have a very successful policy concerning the protection of
youth and adults at camp. This policy is contained in the two-deep policy that every
unit must abide by. We train all camp staff members in these policies and a brief
summary is provided to unit leaders so we can provide a safe and secure environment
while at Camp Morrison.
1. Every unit must have at least two registered adult leaders present during their entire
stay at camp, one of which must be 21 years of age or older. You cannot switch out
leaders until the replacement has actually arrived. Arriving leaders must check in at
the Trading Post.
2. Transportation to and from camp must be in safe and insured vehicles with seat
belts for all passengers. Do not allow riders in the back of pickup trucks.
3. Youth are not allowed to be alone in tents with adults at any time unless it is their
parent or guardian.
4. Youth and adults must not shower or undress together at any time.
5. No one-on-one activities between youth and adults are permitted at any time.
6. Corporal punishment, hazing, initiation, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse will
not be tolerated at any time.
7. Two registered adult leaders must be in camp at all times. In emergency situations,
the unit leader may contact the Camp Director to request the camp to provide a
second leader for a limited amount of time.

The Camp Morrison Patch
Look for a new patch series beginning next season!
Beginning in 2008, at the request of Scoutmasters, we did away with the Camp Morrison Patch Recognition System that
was in place from 2003--2007. Based on your feedback we created a new Camp Morrison patch set.
We produced 2,000 patches for campers (2200 in 2014 and 2500 in 2015). Camp Staff members received the same
patch with a red border, 170 (200 in 2014/2015) of the red patches are made. There were two special issues of the patch.
One with a silver mylar border of which 50 are produced and one with a gold mylar border of which 100 are produced.
Patch collectors can buy a set of three patches with the current year color, red, and silver borders. The gold patches as
yet cannot be purchased. Fifty are given out by the Camp Director or Scout Executive during the camping season to
people who do special things for the council. Things like saving a life or making a large financial contribution to the
council, etc. The remaining 50 gold bordered patches are put in a safe and will be sold at some future date, yet to be
determined, in sets. But the sets will be a compilation of all the animals or birds in the series. Beginning in 2013, 500 of
a Webelos version ofthe patch with a Cub Scout blue border were produced. Beginning in 2014 the 11 Year Old Scouts
received their own turquois border color.
*lfyou see a gold Camp Morrison patch on somebody, chances are they're somebody pretty special because you can't
buy a gold Camp Morrison patch.
- The 2008 Camp Morrison patch was a Bear with a Tamarack tree on the patch, both an animal and a tree common to
Camp Morrison.
The 2009 patch was a Fox with the Englemann Spruce. Most of you have probably seen a fox at camp.
- The 2010 surprised us all. Near the end of the 2009 season we had a four foot long beaver at the waterfront! So for
2010 the Beaver with Quaking Aspen and the 100 Year Celebration strip.
- The 20 II was a Great Horned Owl with a Douglas Fir, both can be found at Camp Morrison.
2012 was the Bobwhite with Huckleberries. There's actually a Bobwhite hunting season in Valley County where
Camp Morrison is located. One hears, that if you can fmd one ... they taste like chicken .... Huckleberries of course
abound at Camp Morrison and are a preferred food for humans, Bears, and Bobwhites.
- 2013 features the majestic Bald
and the towering Ponderosa Pine, both seen at Camp Morrison!
in the patch is sagebrush. While you
2014 is the Antelope. The background is petroglyphs in our counciL The
won't find the Antelope at camp, they abound in the Council, the petroglyphs are from the Snake River Valley.
2015 is the White Buffalo. The background is the Unknown Scout who helped W.D. Boyce in the fog in London in
1909, leading to the founding of the BSA. The Bison symbolizes the Unknown Scout. The plant is Prairie Grass. We
have a heard o[White Buffalo in our Council, they also hold a deep Spiritual significance to Native Americans.

Cullimore Leadership Challenge
What is it?
Cullimore 2015 is a Specialty Adventure program for older Scouts. It is designed to rekindle
the Scouting Spirit in older boys who are tired of basketry and want more out of their experience at
Camp Morrison. Cullimore will give youth a packaged Specialty Adventure experience you would be
hard pressed to duplicate anywhere. They'll practice advanced outdoor skills and teamwork. Youth
will return back to their units with new team-work skills, motivated to continue Scouting and excited
about future High Adventure opportunities.
Cullimore for 2015
Cullimore 2015 will again feature the Adventure Race now in its 7th year. We'll also have the
old standards: the 240 repel, black powder rifles, hawks, and shotguns, plus our popular alpine lake
overnighter. Last year we added Atlatls!
So, what's an Adventure Race you ask? "The sport of Adventure Racing is sweeping the na­
tion at a phenomenal rate. The new challenges presented to adventure racers have caused the sport to
grow by leaps and bounds .... Adventure Racing is one of the few sports where just completing a race
is often considered a victory. Another driving factor in Adventure racing is the emphasis that is placed
on teamwork, rather than individual achievement." (http://www.usara.com/) Looking on the internet
there are Adventure Races held worldwide throughout the year some with huge cash prizes. Our
Cullimore Adventure Race for 2015 is still in the planning stages; we're trying to incorporate elements
of land navigation and orienteering including both compass and GPS, deciphering clues and puzzles,
tests of knowledge, searching for treasure, and target and skeet shooting. Scouting Skills through First
Class will be a must to complete the trek! Scoutmasters and Scouts alike continue to love this event!
Participant Requirements
All participants must be:
II
13 by date of arrival.

CAMP GUIDELINES
In every situation there are guidelines that must be enforced for the safety and
security of all. We ask for your cooperation and support in observing these
guidelines. Failure to do so may mean your unit or an individual may be asked to
leave camp. If one of these guidelines is violated and you are asked to leave camp,
you will not receive a refund.
1. COMPLETED Annual Health and Medical Records (Physicals).
ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL YOUTH & ADULTS AT CHECK-IN.
2. Dietary concerns should be directed to the Camp Food Service Director.
3. All unit leaders must check in with the Camp Director or Program Director when
arriving at camp. There may be health and safety concerns to discuss.
4. All units must provide a unit roster when checking in.
5. No open flames are allowed in tents.
6. Separate posted shower times for adults and youth participants as well as those of
different sexes must be adhered to by everyone while at camp.
7. Specific areas of camp such as the waterfront are off limits unless adult supervision is available. 8. Campers are not allowed in the staff area at any time.
9. Campers should not enter the campsite of other units unless invited by the unit.
10. Smoking for those meeting the age requirements is allowed in designated areas.
The campsite area is not a designated area, nor is any area where youth may see
you smoking. Smoking is not allowed in any buildings on BSA property.
11. Any person maliciously hanning or killing local wildlife will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency and the parent/guardian contacted immediately. 12. All vehicles must be parked in the parking lot and not in the campsites, unless approve by the Camp Commissioner. Please back vehicles into spaces. Camp Morrison 2015
Page 18
Camp Guidelines Continued...
13. Intentional damage is grounds for expulsion from camp.
14. Theft in camp is always a concern. Anyone caught stealing from others will be
removed from camp immediately and turned over to local law enforcement.
Theft from a tent in Idaho is considered a Felony.
15. Fighting and causing physical harm to anyone is not an acceptable way of
handling differences. Unit leaders and those involved in the situation will
council with the Camp Director to determine a course of action.
16. Youth Protection is always a major issue. Leaders must not physically, sexually,
or emotionally abuse a youth member in any way. Violators will be reported to
Child Protection Services or local law enforcement and be immediately removed
from camp.
17. Absolutely no personal firearms allowed in camp.
18. Please remain on established trails and roads. The vegetation on camp is very
delicate and straying from established trails may cause damage that takes years
to repair.
19. Individuals are not allowed to leave camp without the permission of the Camp
Director (this is because if we have to evacuate camp for any reason like a forest
fire, etc., we need to account for each person).
20. Without permission from the Camp Commissioner, leaders are not allowed to
use their vehicles at camp other than to load and unload equipment.
21. In case of other emergencies, follow instructions from the Camp Director,
Program Director, or Camp Ranger.

23. Only adults may use bicycles in camp. They must have a helmet and a lock ..

Safety Around Animals at Camp Morrison
Welcome to Camp Morrison! Camp Morrison covers 140 acres and offers a
wide range of exciting adventures including the opportunity to observe many types of
birds, fish, and wildlife. Throughout camp you will see numerous animals especially
squirrels, chipmunks, and common birds. Undoubtedly the opportunity to observe a
raccoon, turkey, deer, eagle, or even a black bear will provide lifetime memories.
Animals often will be an exciting part of your adventures. Seeing them in their
natural habitat is always a pleasure, but it is wise to remember that they are the
permanent residents of the backcountry or camp while you are a visitor. Treat them
with respect, give them enough space so they'll not feel threatened by your presence,
and they'll seldom present a threat to your safety. When an animal feels frightened,
threatened, or trapped, it may fight for its life by attacking, scratching, and biting. In
the event you are injured, seek treatment quickly; a doctor must determine whether ra­
bies treatments will be necessary.
Each of the animals who live and roam throughout Camp Morrison has its own
characteristics and pattern of behavior. Since 2007 black bears have been regular visi­
tors to the camp (probably due to drought and forest fires). Despite the common name,
black bear, they are not always black. They may be honey-colored, blond, brown or
black. They may have a tan muzzle or a white spot on their chest.
Camp Morrison2015
Page 21
Safety Around Animals at Camp Morrison Continued
Avoidance of bears and most wildlife can be summed up in one word-FOOD.
If an animal doesn't find abundant food, it will move on. Most conflicts between
people and wildlife, especially bears are linked to careless handling of food or garbage.
Learn to live responsibly with wildlife.
Young wildlife sometimes stray from their parents and appear to be lost or
abandoned. In most cases, however, the parents know where the youngster is. Taking
in apparently lost or abandoned young usually does more harm then good. Wild
animals are best left in the wild. If the animal is obviously sick or injured, notify the
camp ranger.

to carry 10 or more passengers is required to have a $500,000 combined single limit. In the case of rented vehicles, the requirement of coverage
limits can be met by combining the limits of personal coverage carried by the driver with coverage carried by the owner of the rented vehicle.
If the vehicle to be used is designed to carry more than 15 people (including the driver), the driver must have a valid commercial driver's license
(COL). In some states (California, for example), this policy applies to drivers of vehicles designed to carry 10 or more people.
All vehicles used in travel outside the United States must carry a public liability and property damage liability insurance policy that complies
with or exceeds the requirements of that country_ Attach an additional page if more space is required.
