Some boys wait all year for summer camp, like some boys wait all year for Christmas.They have practiced their scouting skills over and over until they get it just right. At camp is when they can put those skills to good use. Be it swimming, hiking, or knot tying, camp is a great place to spend some time this summer, and show off these skills. Register now and get 2015 prices for next summer! Registration fees will be going up after December. Don't miss out, spaces are already filling up. Contact our Council office today! From the Program Director:
We all know Boy Scouts like sleeping under the stars, but there's all that time before they fall asleep. This summer we will be having so much fun, there won't be any time for sleep! I could talk about merit badges, but camp is all about fun, friends, and adventure. We're not in the camping business, we're in the business of changing the lives of everyone that comes to camp through the Scout Oath and Law. From the Camping Specialist:
It’s looking like another banner year for shooting sports and with our latest NRA grant request we expect to again be able to offer all of our archery and shooting programs at no additional cost! Very few BSA shooting programs can say the same and we take great pride in our claim to be the best program in California! Come shoot with us this summer! | | New | Training on the New My.Scouting.org | | | How to take online training on the new My.Scouting.org. Just CLICK HERE and download the instructions. |

Bethel AME Church Uses Bible Patches in Local Park Bethel AME Church in Lebanon, Ohio took to heart that the Bible Patch Series from P.R.A.Y. is for all ages. The congregation organized a "family style" gathering and met in a local park to enjoy food, fellowship, and Bible study together. Neighbors came out with treats and joined in the discussion. They ended the program with a pizza party at the church attended by friends and family.
According to Rev. Karen Schaeffer, M.Div., Ph.D., "We did use a portion of the program so that five people earned their first patch. We intend to continue in the future with modifications based on what we learned during our first 3 lessons... significant forethought needs to be given about how to meaningfully include pre-readers in the activities. Our youngest participant was a five year old and our most mature was approximately sixty years of age."
Rev. Schaeffer learned about P.R.A.Y. at the African Methodist Episcopal Church annual Christian Education Department gathering in Nashville last spring. The AMEC Scouts provided a session that featured information about the Bible Patch Series. "This was a good fit with our local work toward relaunching Christian Education efforts in our historic setting."

We had our Troop Chaplain's Aide run the program at one of our summer camps and they did it daily. Probably not exactly as outlined ;-), but seemed to be very well received and letting it be boy run I think added to it.

 Hands-On Activities for The Good Book Patch
First Presbyterian Church
Woodbridge, NJ
I am head of Christian Education at the church and am also a Cub Scout Den Leader.
We regularly host the God and Me and God and Family programs at our church, so when we saw the new RP3 patch program we knew it was for us. I put out the word and got 20 children age 1st thru 4th grade to come out on 3 Wednesday evenings in September. I would say about 65% were either Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts. We went through the scripture and discussions on each sheet and then played some fun games and activities to reinforce the lessons. Some of the activities included:
1. Building with Legos and taking Legos apart to show how the kings in Josiah's time would build up idols and tear them down, and also how Josiah was rebuilding the temple.
2. We broke apart geodes to show how amongst the ruins of the temple -treasure "The lost book" can be found.
3. We broke apart into two teams and had the children put the books of the Bible in order (we wrote the names on clothespins and had the kids clip them to a clothing line).
4. We did some training exercises and had the kids try to quickly look up Bible verses.
The kids really enjoyed it and we plan to try another RP3 patch program in January/February. We are running a God and Family program beginning in a few weeks and then will be busy with Christmas, of course. We absolutely LOVED the program and are excited to try it out again with the next patch soon!
