Additional Information Advancement Reporting
All advancement reporting will be completed through the online registration system. Before departure, units will receive an advancement report reflecting completed and partial merit badges. This report is also accessible by unit leadership through your summer camp registration and is available after camp by returning to the online registration. If you notice inconsistencies or errors in a Scout’s records, please see the Camp or Program Director. If errors are noted after camp has ended, please contact the council office.
UNITS DO NOT NEED TO PROVIDE BLUE CARDS. BLUE CARDS WILL NOT BE USED AT MELITA ISLAND. Reports accessible through online registration: - Individual and unit summary merit badge schedules - Advancement summary and detail - Scoutbook upload advancement file - Blue cards for completed and partial badges Unit SPL The Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) is essential for camp communication. Units need to have a designated SPL for their week at camp. If a unit’s SPL is a participant in the ACE program, the unit should select an ASPL. During the week, the ACE program is off-island and may miss an SPL meeting. When this occurs, the
ASPL should attend in their place. Adult Leader/SPL Meeting
A unit leader and SPL meeting will be held Sunday evening following dinner. At this meeting, the camp admin team shares camp policies, emergency procedures, schedule overviews, volunteer opportunities, and additional information. A Camp Duty Roster will be
explained at this meeting. Camp duties include morning flag ceremonies, saying grace for meals, lodge clean up following meals, and evening flag ceremonies. Completion of these duties not only helps the camp but also provides a service opportunity for Scouts. In addition to this meeting, there will be a leader meeting each morning. All leaders are encouraged to attend, however we do recommend a minimum of one leader be in attendance each day. SPLs will also meet each day in the early afternoon. If your SPL cannot attend, please send an ASPL or unit representative in their place. Supporting Scouts with Special Needs Some Scouts may require additional support while attending camp. This may mean your unit requires an additional adult to provide this support and assistance for your Scout(s). If this is needed and is above our allowed unit adult ratio, please contact the Camp Director. While our staff strives to meet all needs, the unit’s leadership is primarily responsible for support and supervision. If you wish to discuss any special needs or accommodation requests, please contact the Camp Director. 9 | page
