Individual Camper Program

The individual camper program allows Scouts to participate in OSR’s program when their troop isn’t at camp. This program is perfect for Scouts who can’t attend with their unit or for Scouts that wish to come to camp again to earn additional badges or complete partially completed Merit Badges.

Can other Scouts from my troop attend camp with me? Sure! Just make sure they are attending camp the same week you are. We will make every effort to house Scouts from the same troop together. If you gather 2 or more Scouts and 2 leaders, sign up as a troop rather than as an individual camper.

What merit badges can I take? Any badge on the list that you qualify for. Please note that there are some requirements that might not be covered at camp.

Where will I be staying in camp? You will be staying with a troop that is attending camp that week. During the week you will be a member of that troop and under the care and direction of their adult leaders. If other Scouts from your troop are attending camp provisionally we will make every effort to place you all in the same campsite. These site assignments are made sometimes within days of your arrival at camp based on the overall camp attendance. We will do our best to let you know which troop in advance.

When do we depart from camp? Your week of camp will end Saturday at 10 am. Your parents should plan to pick you up at this time.

How do I get my merit badge cards back?  It is important to talk to your Scoutmaster about the badges you want to take so they can be approved. Throughout the week, our staff will update your merit badge records in your online registration. It will be your responsibility to pull your records after camp to submit them to your Troop.
