HAWK PROGRAM<br />
(TRAIL TO FIRST CLASS)<br />
One of the greatest goals for any Boy Scout camp is to provide opportunities for Scouts to<br />
earn the skills that Scouting was founded on.<br />
In our HAWK Program, Scouts will have the chance to work on basic Scout skills and re‐<br />
quirements for the first three ranks of Scouting. Scouts can choose either the A.M. session<br />
or the P.M. session, and will attend each day at that time. We suggest they look over the<br />
merit badge list and schedules to decide which session will allow them the most opportuni‐<br />
ties. HAWK participants will have opportunities to earn merit badges during the opposite<br />
session.<br />
HAWK meets in the Outdoor Skills <strong>Area</strong>. A top notch staff and plentiful training equip‐<br />
ment will excite your Scouts.<br />
Please note that because of National BSA policy, our staff can not sign off requirements in<br />
handbooks. Rather, Scouts will learn the skill under the supervision of our staff and then<br />
can demonstrate the skill to an approved person from their troop who can sign them off.<br />
Your troop will also be provided with a tracking sheet for your records at the end of the<br />
week. Our HAWK Program area is ready to facilitate the advancement needs of your troop.<br />
Experience Tells Us….Tips for Success<br />
● Having leaders come to the area with the scouts is helpful for the scout who is<br />
seeking to have requirements signed off in their book right‐away.<br />
● Bring your Boy Scout Handbook ...it makes a great reference!<br />
● Be sure to be in the Outdoor Skills area on time and ready to work.
