2 BE PREPARED MORSE CODE Scouts should practice Morse Code. Each station will have a message to decipher in order to start the activity. For easy learning go to: Scouts can master the visual alphabet in 20 minutes/day for a week. Next, get a buddy and practice without looking at the screen in order to hear the alphabet. Listen to the code, say the letter out-loud, and your buddy can verify answer. Finally, practice sending messages to your buddy and deciphering your buddy s messages by going to: NEW in 2014 Signs, Signals, & Codes Merit Badge At Spring Camporee, Morse Code will be featured at each activity station in preparation for the new merit badge. We hope Scouts will take an interest and practice the code so that when we test at Fall Camporee, several Scouts will earn the Morse Code Interpreter Strip (worn above the right breast pocket). Semaphores and signal flags will also be introduced at the Spring Camporee.

3 Semaphores, Signal Flags, and Phonetic Alphabet resources needed for Camporee. Try making games using the flags and semaphores to help you learn and remember them. For example, color the flags on 3x5 cards. Each player chooses a card and tapes it to their chest for others to see. All players stand in a circle so they can see the other players flags. One player starts a 4-count cadence and the others join in. The game begins when the leader calls out a flag of another player, using the phonetic alphabet, Foxtrot. The player with the F-flag has until the end of the 4-count to call out another letter or else they leave the circle. If a player calls out a letter that is not in the circle, they leave the circle. Speed up as the circle gets smaller. The game ends when two players are left in the circle (or sooner).

4 BE PREPARED BLADES Scouts should bring a pocket knife. BE PREPARED CULTURES Scouts working on American Cultures merit badge should prepare a traditional song, dance, or game from their family s ancestry to share and teach others. Also, prepare to discuss the religious and social customs of their family s ancestry. Finally, think of three people of different racial, religious, or ethnic background who have made a significant contribution to the American Culture. BE PREPARED FIRES Scouts should bring an empty tin can and some cardboard for making a tin-can torch/stove. BE PREPARED FIRST AID Scouts should bring an old crew or knee-high sock and some duct tape for making a faux wound. The foot of the sock will be cut off and the leg should still have some stretch in it. BE PREPARED FIRST CLASS FIRST Scouts should bring their Boy Scout Handbook. BE PREPARED HERITAGE Scouts working on American Heritage merit badge should prepare to discuss two people who made a significant impact on America. One should be a Political figure, and the other a Private citizen (these may be two of the three people discussed in American Cultures). Choose an organization that promoted positive change in America (if you choose the Boy Scouts of America it will help you complete Scouting Heritage merit badge). Scouts working on Scouting Heritage merit badge should learn about the history of their Scout Unit. They bring their patch collection to camp and display it for the counselor. They should also visit the North Star Scouting Museum and report on their visit ( BE PREPARED PAUL BUNYAN WOODSMAN Scouts working on Paul Bunyan Woodsman should wear long-legged work pant, boots (steeltoed preferred), and work gloves. Be prepared to work two hours with woodsman tools including

India are First Class Scouts of advanced age (14+) who are looking to put more challenge into their personal Scouting experience through participation in district-wide coordinated high adventure activities and conservation projects. The G.O.A.T., or Great Outdoor Adventure Team will focus on the Scouting in the outdoors and facilitate activities so Scouts may become eligible for the National Outdoor Achievement Medal. Also, a coordinated effort at the district level will help Scouts work toward the fulfilling of needed requirements for the William T. Hornaday Conservation Medal.
