A MESSAGE FROM THE CAMP LEADERSHIP TEAM…
Dear Unit Leader,
December 5, 2013
Welcome to the 47th summer of Camp Chief Little Turtle Boy Scout Resident Camp. This summer camp experience for
our youth is one of the most important and cherished parts of the scouting program. The purpose of Scout Camp is
what happens inside the campers. What they take home with them in their memories, in their new purposes, in their
improved or newly acquired skills, in their friendships, and in their appreciations. It is the mission of Camp Chief Little
Turtle to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and in other ways to prepare them to make ethical
choices over their lifetime in achieving their fullest potential through the outdoor program.
Camp Chief Little Turtle is a full service resident Boy Scout Camp and home to its 1200 acres of unspoiled woodland
that serves as the ultimate laboratory for the experience of Scout summer camping. A fully trained and prepared staff
is on hand at camp to deliver a wide variety of programs in Aquatics, First Year Camper Program, Ecology Conservation, Field Sports, Handicraft, Outdoor Skills, Shooting Sports, Buckskin program, Top Scout program, and High Adventure programs such as Project Cope, Climbing, and Repelling. Challenging merit badges and activities for the older
scouts are supported through multiple program areas throughout the Camp.
Camp Chief Little Turtle is always committed to the facilities at our property and truly believe that you will have the
privilege to use our facilities that are second to none such as our Little Turtle Traders, a full service Trading Post offering snacks, refreshments, and general merchandise. A 290 seat air conditioned dining hall that takes care of all your
culinary needs, wireless internet for our adults to keep tabs on all their needs in an air condition building and a firstclass shower house with indoor plumbing to support your summer experience.
The Staff and I are extremely excited about the program additions and changes being made for this season. The Anthony Wayne Area Council continues to strive for excellence to expand and experiment with different programs based
on feedback we seek from adults and youth to keep our scouts coming back year after year. It is my hope that you
take advantage of our First Year Campers Program, Merit Badges, including multiple Eagle required badges and programs for all campers young and advanced.
We want you and other adult leaders to have fun too! Thank you for your investment in time by spending your vacation
with your scouts at Camp Chief Little Turtle. The Staff and I promise to work as diligently as we can to bring your
Scouts the finest summer camp experience possible. Please read this camp guide carefully and feel free to contact me
if there are any questions of if you need additional information.
I look forward to seeing you!

CUB SCOUT PROGRAM
Cub Scout Summer Camp Program Philosophy:
It is the goal of the Cub Scout Summer Camp Staff to give your scouts’ an exciting, fun
and educational experience while at Camp Chief Little Turtle. The activities that scouts
will work on are meant to be fun with a purpose. While Cub Resident Camp activities
will cover a wide variety of Wolf and Bear requirements, it is not our intention for
scouts to walk away with completed ranks or activity pins. Focusing merely on advancement, the program would be limited in variety from year to year. We believe that
scouts’ come to camp to have a great time and to do things they may not have an opportunity to do elsewhere. Each unit leader will, however, receive at the end of the
week a complete list of requirements that were completed while they were at camp.
Webelos Resident Camp, however, focuses on Activity Badges and each scout will
have the opportunity to earn at least 3 badges while at camp in addition to have fun!
Cub/Webelos camp with their pack in the same campsite. Cub/Webelos will divide into
their age-appropriate programs and activities.
Rotation Schedule: All dens within in campsite will travel as a group to each program
station. Each campsite will visit all six program centers one time, with exception to the
waterfront which they will visit twice, in the two day period. The rotation schedule on
the following page is tentative and WILL change based on the number of scouts
in campsites. Smaller campsites will be paired together for the swimming session to
allow for maximum utilization of the program center. Every effort will be made to keep
group size to a maximum of 30 youth.

CCLT PRE-CAMP SWIM TEST PROCEDURE
Complete a Unit Swim Classification test. This test must be lead by an adult approved by the Council (unit leader
and conducted by a recognized/certified instructor or administrator). Record the results of the Swim Classification test on the form provided. Details on the requirements for the Swim Classification test are found on the
following forms. Any Scout not listed on the Unit Swim Classification Test Form will be labeled a non-swimmer
until he completes a swim classification test at camp. CERTIFICATION MUST BE CURRENT.
Upon arrival in camp we will confirm your unit roster and your unit will be able to proceed to with the remaining
orientation. Those that have completed the swim test will not need to complete a swim check at camp.
SPECIAL NOTE: When swim tests are conducted away from camp or at the point of activity, the Camp
Aquatics Director shall at all times reserve the authority to review or retest all participants to ensure that
standards have been maintained.
Unit Swim Classification Test Information
The Boy Scouts have developed new guidelines concerning the swim classification testing, which you usually do
Sunday afternoon at check-in at summer camp. You now will be able to complete your units swim classification
test prior to coming to camp. The following steps must be followed to complete the unit swim classification test
prior to camp.
1. The swim classification test must be conducted by one of the following individuals: Aquatics Instructor, BSA
(BSA Camp School Trained); Aquatic Supervisor, BSA (BSA Camp School Trained); BSA Lifeguard; certified lifeguard; swimming instructor or swim coach. When the unit goes to summer camp, each individual will be issued a
buddy tag under the direction of the Camp Aquatics Director.
2. Attach a copy of the certificate card of certifying instructor, to the unit swim classification record.
3. Complete the classification test after January 1st, of the summer camp year. (Any illness or injury to a Scout
or Scouter between the swim test and camp needs to be addressed at camp).
4. Bring unit swim classification record to camp or have it to turn in at the two-week prior meeting.
Swim Classification Procedures
The Swim classification of individuals participating in a Boy Scout of America activity is a key element in both
Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. The swim classification tests should be renewed annually and no more
than 6 months prior to summer camp. Traditionally, the swim classification test has only been conducted at a longterm summer camp.
All persons participating in BSA aquatics are classified according to swimming ability. The classification tests and
test procedures have been developed and structured to demonstrate a skill level consistent with the circumstances in which the individual will be in the water. The Swimmer's Test demonstrates the minimum level of
swimming ability for recreational and instructional activity in a confined body of water with a maximum 12-foot
depth and with shallow water footing or a pool or pier edge always within 25 feet of the swimmer.
The various components of each test evaluate the several skills essential to the minimum level of swimming ability.
Each step of the test is important and should be followed as listed below:
www.awac.org---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------24-
Unit Swim Classification Test Record
Unit number___________________ Date of swim test_______________
SWIMMER'S TEST: Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75
yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: side stroke, breast stroke, trudgen, or crawl;

least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.
BEGINNER'S TEST: Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface,
stop, turn sharply, resume swimming as before, and return to starting place.

WORKERSHIP PROGRAM and APPLICATION
Since its founding, a primary aim of Scouting has been to teach self-reliance and promote a strong work ethic.
Just as important, perhaps, is the goal that no Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venture Scout, Sea Scout, Varsity Scout
or Explorer Scout be prevented from participating in a Scouting activity because of lack of funds. The Workership program helps us achieve these objectives.
Each year partial Scout camp fees are awarded to those Scouts who wish to go to camp but are unable to pay.
This money is given in return for some form of service to the school, church, synagogue or the scout’s chartered institution.
To participate the Scout must:
Identify a “good turn” work project. This should be a project of the scout’s own choosing.
Unit Service projects, such as Scouting for Food, do not qualify, nor do service projects completed as
part of a Scout’s advancement program count for Workership Projects. Projects should involve a
significant number of hours and effort on the scout’s part, appropriate for his age.
Secure his Scout Leader’s approval that the project is worthwhile.
With his unit leader, fill out the Workership application and submit to Council Camping
Director, Anthony Wayne Area Council, 8315 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne, In 46804.
You may also email to Chuck.Walker@Scouting.org or fax to 260-436-1824. Please keep a
copy for your records.
Submit the application no later than April 5, 2014.
Approval of the project by his leader must be received before any work is begun.
Complete the project as agreed to the satisfaction of the unit leader.
The unit leader is responsible to see that the project is completed and will verify project completion at
camp.
Workerships can be awarded for up to 50% of early bird camp fee. Workerships are awarded strictly on
the “honor system”. No proof of income is required, although the program is designed to help a lowincome youth who could not otherwise afford to go to camp.
Properly approved and completed Workership projects will result in credit applied in the Scout’s name
toward the camp for which he completed the Workership.
Those who wish to contribute to the Workership Fund may do so my sending their contribution to:
Council Camping Director, Anthony Wayne Area Council, 8315 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne, In
46804. Please indicate that you would like your contribution to go to the Council Workership Fund.
