Boy Scout Camp

Merit Badge Program
The Camp Phillips merit badge program uses an open concept designed to allow a Scout to schedule the merit badges he wants to work on while offering time to go on a hike, play a game...to have fun, without missing a scheduled class. This program also allows a Scout to go at his own pace, whether that is three merit badges a day or one in a week. Scoutmasters are encouraged to monitor the progress of each of their Scouts. The responsibility for successful merit badge completion rests with the camp staff, the Scoutmaster and the Scout. 		camp
canoes First Year Camper Program
The Scouting program provides many opportunities for Scouts to learn new skills and take part in terrific adventures. The First Year Camper(FYC) program at Camp Phillips, focuses on helping young Scouts advance through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, and/or First Class.
Active Scout participation and advancement go together in the FYC program. The FYC staff will act as guides for the Scouts who participate, helping them to learn the Scoutcraft skills needed to advance. Adult leaders are always welcome at FYC to help the staff and campmasters.
On the camp roster, please include the number of Scouts who will be participating in the FYC program and the rank they need to work on.
