Boy Scout Summer Camp
A full week of summer camp offers all Scouts
the finest in long-term Scout camping. At Tuckahoe, Scouts will enjoy
the ultimate Scouting environment and will develop leadership and outdoor
skills, as well as achieving advancement and having fun with other Scouts.
A qualified and dedicated camp staff is available to help the leadership of
all troops to carry out a super camping experience. Our goal is to
balance the right amount of fun, training and adventure.

Honor Camper Award
The Honor Camper Award is for participation in
the camp program. Scouts can earn log segments that fit into each side
of the Honor Award patch. Scouts can also earn trail hiking pins to place
on the center of the patch and summer attendance bars are added each
year you attend camp.
Buffalo Braves Program
 The Buffalo Braves program is designed for
first and second-year campers. Two camp commissioner areas will cover
many of the Tenderfoot through First Class requirements. Back in the
campsite, Scouts must show troop leaders the skills they have mastered so
leaders can sign off on the necessary requirements in their handbooks.
The program sessions are scheduled in both the
morning and afternoon to permit time for Scouts to participate in Swimming
and Basketry merit badge classes during the day. Scouts will learn
knots and lashings, outdoor cooking, how to use woodsman tools and how to
make campsite gadgets. Also taught are first aid skills and how to use
a compass.
On one night each week, we will head on out
for an outpost. Each pair of Scouts from the troop will need to bring
a lightweight two-man tent or tarp to share, in addition to their personal
gear.
Project COPE
 If you want a real challenge, COPE is the
place to start. COPE (Challenging
Outdoor Personal Experience) is a program designed for Scouts at least
14 years old. The program is comprised of group initiative games,
trust events, low course and high course events. COPE consists of five
half-day sessions and the fee is $20 per person. Each person is
awarded a COPE patch. Special COPE t-shirts may be purchased for $10
at the camp trading post.

SPECIAL NOTICE - The number of paid
individual Scout deposits submitted to the Council Service Center by
April 1, 2008 will be used in allocating campsite space. If a
troop wishes to have exclusive use of any campsite at camp, we must
receive paid deposits for 95% of the campsite's capacity. The camp
reserves the right to move units to different campsites if the troop
does not make a deposit payments for 95% of the site's capacity.

For Individual Scouts - $50 (non-refundable) per boy by April 1,
2008. Each Boy Scout submitting their deposit on-time receives a
special, limited edition patch not available for sale during the summer.
This is the only way to obtain this limited-run, one-per-person
collector's item. The number of paid deposits is also used to
allocate campsite space for your troop.
Individual "Provisional" Boy Scout
Registrations:
Boy Scouts who wish to attend camp without
their troop or for a second week can attend camp as a "provisional" Scout.
The Camp Director will make arrangements with troop leaders to have
provisional Scouts attend camp as part of their troop for the week.
Provisional Scout applications are available by contacting the York-Adams
Area Council or by following this link. Please add $10 to the camp
fees listed above for provisional Scout campers.
