Happy Friday everyone! I am coming to you today to make sure everyone knows about our new site and give some knowledge on how things will be set up.
To begin, in case you have not heard our new home is at the Gus Blass Scout reservation!
Gus Blass Scout Reservation
408 Scout Dr, Damascus, AR 72039
This is a really big place. They have 3 different locations at this camp.
The Bowen OA Lodge, The Donald W Reynolds Scout Training Center and Camp Rockefeller.
We specifically will be using Camp Rockefeller. Getting to this area can be a little confusing. There are two entrances to the camp. A north gate and South gate. GPS will normally bring you to the south gate.
When entering the camp, we want to make sure we are driving the speed limit.
You will be able to drive onto the site right up to where you are going to camp.
Main areas of camp we will be using.
One of the many things that are an improvement over our old site is the number of tents available to be used. Each camp site has 14 to 18 tents on platforms and covered with a tarp. Each tent has 2 cots already in them.
A major change to be aware of is how many beds we have for MED Sleep. We only have 2 beds in the admin building for 100% MED Sleep. However, right across from the dining hall we have North Point Camp (orange circle). This is a 100% handicap accessible campsite with power running to every tent. This campsite will be a quiet sleep space. If you are going to sleep OOG (out of game) you will fly a green bandana outside your door. Every other campsite will be in game sleeping.
We have circled a Staff Campsite. This is the actual name and its were the staff stays During summer camp. These tents have power as well and you can stay in them as well.
The admin building will be the post office. Once you drive to your campsite and drop of your stuff. You will remove your vehicle from site down in the parking lot.
Check in will be done in the admin building.
During our Staff Training weekend at the end of the month will be planning the layout of the town moving forward! We will give more information on at a later time!
