ABOUT KIMBALL SCOUT RESERVATION

(On Potosi Mountain)

The name Potosi translates from Caitlin Spanish to mean “Great wealth gold mines; source of great wealth”.

While Kimball Scout Reservation history is abundant in folklore and historical fanciful tales of wealth and ad-

venture, today’s purpose is just as rich and exciting.

The Spencer W. Kimball Scout Reservation, located at Mount Potosi is “history in the making!” The 1,120

acre reservation is located thirty miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. This high desert facility is at an ele-

vation of 5,800 feet with daytime temperatures nearly twenty degrees cooler than in the Las Vegas Valley.

Kimball Scout Reservation has over four miles of roads, eleven miles of hiking trails, twenty-two troop

campsites, latrines, washstands, two shower buildings, swimming pool, well and water storage system, activity

shelters, trading post, large amphitheater, canoe pond, gaga ball pit, astronomy towers, and a worship chapel,

Serenity Hall. Our goal is excellence.

Las Vegas Area Council is continually improving and expanding the quality of the facilities and the programs.

We also have a special first-year camper program to help them advance a rank during their week and an adven-

ture program designed to meet the needs of the “older” Scouts who may not be working on merit badges.

Kimball Scout Reservation offers more than thirty merit badges for Scouts who need them.

The reservation accommodates Boy Scout long-term summer camp, weekend camping for Scout troops, one-

day outings for Cub Scout packs, Webelos camping and adult training courses. Contact the Las Vegas Area

Council at (702) 736-4366 for more information.

All registered scouts are eligible to attend any summer camp operated by the council, without regard to race,

religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, physical handicap, disability, medical condition or any other

consideration made unlawful by federal, state, or local laws.

LEADERSHIP POLICY STATEMENT

All troops in camp must be under the leadership

of two adults at all times, one of whom must be

twenty-one (21) years of age or older. Leaders

may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults

must be with the troop twenty-four hours a day.

At least one of these adults must have been youth

protection trained. Committee members and oth-

er adult leaders who accompany a unit must be

registered members of the Boy Scouts of America.

Parents, who attend camp to meet the require-

ment for the second adult, do not have to be regis-

tered with BSA, but they need to be familiar with

BSA policies and camp policies. If it is necessary

to leave camp at any time, leaders must inform

the camp director at the camp office prior to leav-

ing.

KIMBALL SCOUT RESERVATION POLICY

Where cities have many laws, at Kimball there are

just two: the Scout Law and the Outdoor Code.

All camper and staff conduct is judged as to how it

measures against these guidelines. At camp, we

cannot tolerate and will not permit actvities that

do not meet the criteria of standards set by the

twelve points of the Scout Law and the Outdoor

Code. We bring together a fine representation of

what Scouting is: strong, youthful, and meaning-

ful, with interest and excitement.

We ask your cooperation and understanding as

adults in helping us maintain high standards of

moral and personal behavior. We can do no less.

TOUR PLANS

All units attending summer camp may file a tour

plan. You will need one leader with Youth Protec-

tion who will be at camp the entire time. You will

also need someone with Hazardous Weather

Training. Both of these trainings are now re-

quired for a Tour Plan.

CAMPSITE RESERVATION

A $200.00, non-refundable, per unit deposit is re-

quired to hold your campsite. A Unit is a Troop,

Team or Crew. Each unit must have their own

reservation form. If your unit is sponsored by the

same organization, every effort will be made to

put your units with each other. All discounts for

free leaders with a specific number of boys will be

applied to each unit. The deposit will be applied to

the final payment of fees. Fees for the entire Unit

must be paid in full by May 14, 2018 to take ad-

vantage of the early bird discount.

Camp director reserves the right to change

campsites due to troop size. All changes to the

6

numbers attending camp needs to be in writing

either via email or as a note on your payments.

The date of this written correspondence will be

used to determine payments and refunds, if appli-

cable.

The unit leader will need to bring a roster to

camp and turn it into the camp director when

checking into camp. This roster will show all boys

registered in scouting, all leaders and their times/

dates they will be at camp. One adult registration

can be split amount several adults if they are

sharing time at camp. The roster should list

names and when they will be at camp.

2018 PROVISIONAL SCOUT FEES

A provisional Scout is defined as a youth not at-

tending with his registered unit.

Provisional Scout: $295

Adult attending Provisional Unit: $80.

Early bird Discount is applied if all fees are paid in

full by May 14, 2018

LAS VEGAS SUN CAMPERSHIP FUND

For Scouts wishing to attend summer camp, but

need financial help, the Las Vegas Sun has a spe-

cial camper fund set up to provide financial assis-

tance. The Las Vegas Area Council will favorably

recommend all registered Scouts who are in need

of assistance to attend one of the Las Vegas Area

Council summer camps. Applications are availa-

ble at the council resource center in the program

office, after March 13, 2018. Those that apply

must return their application to the program of-

fice 30 days prior to attending camp. For further

information, contact the program office at (702)

968-8123 or 968-8138.

COMMISSIONER SERVICE

Kimball Scout Reservation provides a commis-

sioner staff that is your front-line team. While

commissioners have many duties and responsibil-

ities, one of their primary jobs is to help your unit

meet its goals and have a good camping experi-

ence. Rely on them as a friend, counselor, and an

expert in many areas. If there is ever a question,

the commissioner is the troop’s first source for an

answer. They know what is going on or will get

you an answer.

You can help your commissioner ensure you have

a great week in the following ways:

• Pre-plan each Scout’s advancement goals and

plot their plans for camp.

• Make sure your boys are assigned by patrols

for duty rotation and activity participation.

• Attend the council pre-camp leaders’ meeting

in May.

• Pre-plan your troop’s goals and come pre-

pared to meet them.

Your commissioner will meet with your troop up-

on arrival at camp, and daily to see how things are

going. The commissioner is available to help out

whenever he or she can.

COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM (CIT)

The summer camp youth staff is mainly composed

of young people sixteen (16) years of age or older.

There is a Counselor-In-Training program (CIT)

for 14 and 15-year-old boys and girls. These CIT

positions are summer camp staff jobs, but they

receive only room and board. No cash wages are

involved. Scouts interested may pick up an appli-

cation at the council resource center. The appli-

cation must be signed by the applicant’s unit lead-

er, and by the parents. There will also be an inter-

view by the camp director. We need good Scouts

to take part in this great summer adventure. AP-

PLY NOW!!!

PRE-CAMP LEADERS’ MEETING

Every time a new frontier is conquered, there are

those who venture first to explore and bring back

information so that others may follow. If you

have never been to scout camp, this is a new ad-

venture for you. If you are an old hand at Scout

7

camp, there is much for you to share.

There will be A PRE-CAMP LEADERS’ MEETING

held by the camp director and his staff. Every

troop leader is required to attend, or send a rep-

resentative to this meeting. You will be given a

clear description of what the camp has to offer in

merit badge programs, as well as all other activi-

ties. This will allow you to help your unit prepare

for this event. You will have the opportunity to

ask questions and give suggestions. These meet-

ings will also give you the information necessary

to conduct your troop parents’ information meet-

ing.

PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND:

MANDATORY LEADER’s MEETING:

Tuesday, April 25, 2018, 6:00 PM

Donald W Reynolds Scouting Resource Center

7220 S Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89119

Troop leaders need to attend the council’s pre-

camp leaders’ meeting in order to inform the par-

ents, and help their boys plan their participation

accordingly. Many troops hold a parents’ infor-

mation meeting before camp. It is here that the

details of camp are presented to the parents.

Questions and answers can take a majority of the

meeting. Don’t expect to have all the answers, but

assure the parents a reply will be returned to

them.

PARENTS’ INFORMATION MEETING

It is important to encourage as many boys as pos-

sible to attend camp. Just as important as getting

your boys excited about going to camp, is promot-

ing it to their parents. Certain promotional and

informational data should be shared with Scouts

and parents in your unit. The reason for this is to

keep everyone informed, involved, excited, and

prepared for the event. The Scouts need to know

what to bring, what activities to prepare for, and

what merit badges are offered. Parents will want

to know cost, dates, location, where

to send mail, and how to get in touch with some-

one in case of emergency. Scoutmasters need to

know all of this and be able to answer questions

parents may have.

EXPERIENCE TELLS US . . . .

There is no teacher like experience, so here are a

few thoughts on how to get the most out of sum-

mer camp, taken from the comments and obser-

vations made by scoutmasters and staff over the

past few years:

• Summer camp is a place to learn, explore, and

have fun with your friends. Merit badges are

just one part of the program.

• For first-year Scout campers, two merit badg-

es are generally enough, especially if they are

badges that he can complete and not badges

that require too much skill for a young Scout.

• For older Scouts, we suggest working on a

maximum of four merit badges during the

week. They will usually be working on more

difficult badges that will require even more of

their time. Merit badge books, paper, and pen-

cils are required for each Scout.

• Be aware of which badges require the most

skill and physical strength. Lifesaving and ri-

fle shooting are two examples.

• Merit badge work at camp can be made easier

if Scouts begin the work at home—

particularly the written work.

• Just as they schedule merit badges, Scouts

need to be encouraged to schedule time to

work on those badges out of class. Even more

importantly, they need to take part in other

aspects of the camp’s programs. Take a hike,

spend some time in a canoe, or try your hand

at handicrafts.

• Don’t forget to schedule some rest time too.

That’s right, save some time to just sit back on

your own and enjoy the wilderness around

you. This goes for Scoutmasters as well as

8

Scouts.

• Come to camp prepared. Have your patrols

organized and select your leaders before you

come. By doing this, you and your leaders can

work on ideas for what your troop wants to do

at camp.

• Make your campsite, your campsite! Make it

comfortable by adding improvements. Just

remember to leave the area in good shape for

the troops that will follow you.

• Be spirited! Your troop can help the whole

camp to come alive, and everyone will have a

better experience. Come prepared to share

songs, cheers, and skits.

• Be flexible. Each week, there are as many as

two hundred Scouts at Kimball Scout Reserva-

tion, and while our staff is dedicated to meet-

ing everyone’s needs, sometimes it can’t be

done right away, or just the way you had

hoped. Remember, a Scout is friendly, cheer-

ful, and courteous. We need to learn these les-

sons so that we can pass them on to our boys.

• Communicate. Let us know how you’re doing,

what you need, and how we can help. Find out

who can best help you with your needs and

we’ll give it our best effort at meeting them.

Finally, help us help you. We want Kimball Scout

Reservation to be the finest Scout camp in the

state, but we can’t do that without your support,

encouragement, and concerns.

CHECK-IN AT CAMP

Your troop can choose to arrive on Sunday or

Monday. If you choose to come on Sunday, check-

in begins at 1:30 p.m. A troop guide who will

orient you and your Scouts to where things are in

camp will meet your troop. After all your equip-

ment is in your campsite your troop guide will

take you on a tour through the camp for medical

checks, swim checks, administration, rifle and ar-

chery range orientation, other program areas like

handicraft and nature. Afterward he will take you

to your campsite.

At 7:00 p.m. senior patrol leaders will meet with

the camp director, program director, and commis-

sioner to review merit badge schedules and other

program needs.

If at any time you and your scouts need to leave

camp for an unscheduled event, you MUST check

out at the camp director’s office to notify appro-

priate personnel of your departure.

cially for adult volunteers. Join in the fun with

various events..

ing? Come and find out the secrets of dutch oven

cooking. The Scoutmaster Skills program will

help make your outdoor adventures a pleasure.

Leader’s Training: Kimball will offer certain BSA

trainings for Scoutmasters; sign up at camp.

SWIM CHECK

All campers need to have a buddy tag - whether

swimming or not. Adults do not need to do a swim

test but it is needed for all youth. A unit leader

must be in attendance with the troop. Any camp-

er (adult or youth) who fails to produce the cor-

rect medical form will not be allowed to partici-

pate in this activity.

MEDICAL FORM INFORMATION

All scouts and leaders must use the annual

Health and Medical Record, which is available

online at www.lvacbsa.org under FORMS. All sec-

tions of the form must be filled out and signed by

parents and a physician licensed to practice in the

state where the scout or adult leader resides.

In the event of illness or injury, history and physi-

cal forms provide valuable information needed

for treatment. These approved medical forms al-

so contain parent authorization for emergency

treatment. A fully equipped medical facility,

staffed by a trained first aid person is provided at

camp at all times. Serious injuries or illness re-

quiring hospitalization will be transported to in

Las Vegas, where we have a pre-arranged agree-

ment for treatment.

NOTE: ANY SCOUT THAT COMES TO CAMP

WITHOUT THE NECESSARY MEDICAL AND

10

TREATMENT CONSENT FORMS WILL NOT BE AL-

LOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES

AND WILL BE SENT HOME. THIS IS IN ACCORD-

ANCE WITH THE BSA NATIONAL POLICY. New

BSA Annual Health and Medical Record is good

for 12 calendar months. Please discard all other

forms.

MEDICAL RE-CHECK

Every adult and Scout who attends camp must

have a medical re-check upon arrival. To assure

you have the correct medical form, refer to

“Medical Information”. It is the Scoutmaster’s re-

sponsibility to let camp know of any medical is-

sues with anybody in his or her party. The Scout-

master will then meet with the health officer, who

will check the troop’s medical forms. We again

ask that any special health concerns be brought to

the attention of the medic at this time.

MEDICATION IN CAMP

All medication brought to camp must be brought

to the attention of the health officer upon arrival.

Refrigeration is available for storage when neces-

sary. Prescription medication for chronic illness

such as asthma or diabetes, should be kept by the

person with the ailment, under the supervision of

their troop leader.

EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION

Even at camp, there is always the possibility of an

emergency situation such as fire or a severe

storm. In the event of such a situation, it is im-

portant to account for the immediate safety of

everyone in camp. This is called an EMERGENCY

MOBILIZATION. If you or your Scouts hear sirens,

fire bell, or horn sounded repeatedly three times

in a row, report immediately to the campfire bowl

(amphitheater). The staff will check to verify eve-

ryone is accounted for and give further instruc-

tions. At the beginning of the camp week, there

will be a drill to make sure everyone understands

what to do.

FOOD SERVICE

“When do we eat?” is probably one of the first

questions your Scouts will ask. Food service is

contracted and camp meals are served cafeteria

style, on paper ware, in the dining shelter. After

each meal, each person is responsible for dispos-

ing of his or her paper ware in receptacles provid-

ed. Instructions for participating in cleanup will

be given to each unit at camp.

Scouts are expected to be in full field uniform for

the dinner meal. For all other meals, Scouts

should be clean, dressed appropriately (in troop

or camp tee shirts), and arrive on time.

Scouts with special dietary needs should notify

the program office at (702) 968-8138 no later

than Friday, May 4, 2018.

Meals will be served during the following times:

BREAKFAST 7:30a.m. (Flag Ceremony 7:15a.m.)

LUNCH 12:30p.m.

DINNER 5:15p.m. (Flag Ceremony 5:00p.m.)

DINING PROCEDURES

Breakfast and dinner are immediately after the

flag ceremony. Troops will be dismissed, in order

of arrival, to get in line for their meal. Due to

Kimball Staff, our serving lines move as quickly

possible. Lunch is on a first come, first served ba-

sis, however, the lines move quickly and it is not

necessary to arrive early to get served. We will

have plenty of food for all to get a good meal.

Each person is responsible for cleaning his/her

table. The Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) should en-

sure the troop cleans up their area. Each troop

will have an opportunity to sign-up to assist at the

dining facility by serving and/or cleaning up after

each meal. It doesn’t take long if everyone does

his/her part. Discuss this with your unit before

coming to camp. Songs, announcements, and oth-

er information will be given at the dining shelter

at meal time.

11

GUEST MEALS

All guests must check in at camp director’s office.

If your unit expects guests for any meals during

the week, it is necessary to inform the Trading

Post at least 24 hours in advance. The Trading

Post will ensure that the camp cooks are notified

if necessary. The following are fees for guest

meals:

BREAKFAST $6.00

LUNCH $7.50

DINNER $9.00 (Friday $11.00)

PRIOR TO THE MEAL, GUEST TICKETS MUST BE

PURCHASED AT THE CAMP TRADING POST OR

THE COUNCIL TRADING POST.

ORDER OF THE ARROW

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is a brotherhood of

service. In Las Vegas Area Council, the OA lodge is

Nebagamon. The main objective of the Order of

the Arrow is to promote camping in the council’s

Scout troops, teams, and crews. In addition, the

OA provides cheerful service to the council camps

through service projects, workdays, and Ordeal

weekends.

Thursdays are OA days at camp and all Brothers

are asked to wear their sashes when in the field

uniform. Special Thursday night activities are

planned to enhance the Order of the Arrow and all

Brothers are asked to assist with the activities.

Please contact the camp OA Chief or any staff OA

Brother to volunteer.

POTOSI PETE’S TRADING POST

Kimball Scout Reservation offers a good selection

of supplies to be purchased at the Trading Post.

Hours may vary from day to day, but times will be

posted for all to see. Soft drinks, candy, fruit, sou-

venirs, and camping items will be available. Vari-

ous handicraft kits and supplies are offered along

with special items, tee shirts, patches, and merit

badge books. You are welcome to come in, shop,

and enjoy a cold drink, or snack at our outdoor

cantina.

TROOP BANKER

It is suggested each Scout should bring about

$50.00 to buy souvenirs, treats, and other needs

at the trading post. An adult from each troop

should serve as “the banker” during the week, al-

lowing Scouts to check money in and out on a pre-

arranged schedule. This prevents money from

getting misplaced.

UNIFORMS

Why do Boy Scouts have a uniform? For the same

reason a sports team or any organized group has

a uniform. A proudly worn uniform gives a stand-

ard to be met. It promotes group spirit, desig-

nates equality, and gives a sense of unity among

the members within the group. The official Boy

Scout uniform does just that. It is appropriate

dress at any time during the week at camp. We

ask all Scouts to be in full program uniform for

dinner, chapel services, and any other formal cer-

emonies. During the day, each troop is encour-

aged to wear their troop tee shirt, Kimball tee

shirt, or the standard BSA tee shirt. There will be

an opportunity to order the activity shirts online.

The unit leader will be able to personalize these t-

shirts with unit number. The link to order these

shirts will be available on the council website at

www.lvacbsa.org.

Setting an example is the most important step you

can make towards having a uniformed troop.

Demonstrate your troop spirit and Scouting pride

by being the best-uniformed troop at Kimball

Scout Reservation.

HONOR TRAIL - SCOUT’S OWN

A non-denominational service will take place at

Serenity Hall on Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m.

during each week of summer camp. We encour-

age all to attend and be in full uniform.

YOUR CAMPSITE

All of the campsites generally have enough room

for nine to thirteen tents. Most campsites do have

platforms. There is at least one picnic table in

each site, one 10X20 shade structure, and at least

one fire drum. Fires may not be authorized in the

campsites due to fire dangers. Flagpoles are

available in each site and units are encouraged to

bring their American and troop flags.

Latrines and water spigots are conveniently

placed throughout the camp within easy walking

distance of each summer camp troop site. Show-

ers are available adjacent to campsite #7 and at

the pool house.

CAMPSITES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR VEHICLE

PARKING.

All vehicles must be parked in the lot near the

gate or in the lot below the Keyser Center. Be-

cause of the extremely dry conditions during the

summer months, the threat of wild fires exists. A

vehicle parked at a campsite becomes a potential

hazard in the event of a fire; and also is an ob-

struction to firefighting equipment.

ALL VEHICLES ARE TO BE BACKED INTO THE

PARKING SPACE.

USE OF CHEMICAL FUELS AND STOVES The following policy on the use of chemical fuels is from the Boy Scouts of America National Office: • Knowledgeable adult supervision must be

provided when Scouts are involved in the han-dling of chemical fuels.

• No chemical fueled lantern or stove is to be used inside a tent.

• Empty liquid petroleum cylinders should be returned home or to base camp. They may explode when heated and therefore must nev-er be put in fireplaces or with burnable trash.

• The use of liquid fuels for starting any type of fire is prohibited.

• Refill liquid gas stoves and lanterns a safe dis-tance from any flames, including other stoves and campfires.

• Never fuel or ignite a stove or lantern in a tent.

• Do not leave a lighted stove or lantern unat-tended

CAT EYE

This evening compass course is an introductory hike designed to provide experience and adven-ture on the trail for boys who are new to Scouting and Kimball Scout Reservation. They will enjoy thinking that any one of the florescent eyes might be the real thing (AND IT MIGHT BE!!). The trail becomes difficult at times and hiking them will give you and your Scouts a challenge. A FEW HINTS FOR THE CAT EYE: • Take along flashlights with good batteries • Arrange your Scouts in patrols. Each

patrol looks for and spots one set of eyes glowing in the distance, leads the troop there, and retires to the rear. This way, all the boys get several turns.

• Watch for eyes of various colors. Many will be red, but others may be white, green, or yellow.

• Upon reaching a pair of eyes, STOP. . . take your next compass reading, continue along what appears to be the beaten path—the eyes are moved frequently to keep the trails fresh and interesting.

• If the trail seems to disappear, a few Scouts may be sent out to find where it picks up again. Remember, leave several Scouts at the last pair of eyes you spotted.

• The end of each trail is a definite location and requires a written answer

A SPECIAL NOTE TO LEADERS The quality of the experience of the first-year Scouts you bring to camp is dependent upon the success they achieve at Kimball Scout Reserva-tion. Scouts are eager to earn merit badges and rank advancement. Our goal is to be a resource for you and them in the quest for both. The PATHFINDER PROGRAM is just the place for your first-year Scouts. The Scoutmaster and Scout determine the Scout’s needs and signs him up to the right group. A Scout should only be enrolled in Tenderfoot, Second Class, or First Class program. Each group acquires a unique set of skills that are specific to

13

that rank. Pathfinder programs are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon each day. Scouts will meet their Pathfinder guide at 9:00 a.m. at the Pathfinder area.

KSR SPECIAL EVENTS There are several new features of summer camp including the Climbing Wall, Mountain Bike trails, Fortress Peak Hike and the Potosi Ghost Town Hike. Honor Trail will be held on Wednesday at 8 p.m. It starts across from the Handicraft area. Aquatics Carnival will be held at the pool Tuesday evenings starting at 7:00 p.m. Meet and get ready at the Pool. Potosi Pete’s Run is held on Thursday at 7 p.m. Meet at the Potosi Pete’s Trading Post.

BSA LIFEGUARD Those wishing to be qualified as a BSA lifeguard may do so at Kimball Scout Reservation. Youth must be 16 years or older and have their CPR cer-tification prior to attending camp. Sign-up with the aquatics director.

GEOCACHING Want to try GEOCACHING? Here are a few keys to unlock the secrets of Potosi Pete’s “Cache” of silver. The tools used for geocaching are maps and a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) unit. The GPS unit will help you determine the directions but the ability to understand a map will help you gain knowledge of the terrain. The “cache” or treasure can be of real value or a trinket to be discovered and a log book to record your find. In our case, the treasure and locations will change from time to time, however it will stay within the boundaries of Kimball Scout Res-ervation. During your week at Kimball Scout, work with the staff in the Outdoor Skills area to learn how to read and use a map and compass. For practice use these skills on all of the cat eye trails. They will also teach you how to use a GPS (you can

bring your own). Once you can read a map and use the GPS to determine coordinates, select two partners (take at least a quart of water of water each with you) and set out to find the treasure. Locate Potosi Pete’s “Cache”, use your map and compass skills to find the hidden treasure. Re-member Kimball Scout Reservation is 1120 acres and Potosi Pete’s cache could be anywhere! There is also a cache at Fortress Peak.

POTOSI PETE’S CACHE For many decades pirates, adventurers and min-ers hid valuables in a secret “cache” that only they knew about. Sometimes they were lost to memory but sometimes the infamous map with an “X” marking the treasured location was the only way to find the cache. Like any good miner of his day, Potosi Pete was rumored to have a hidden treasure of silver from the nearby mines. The tales of hidden silver caused many to scour Mt. Potosi with dreams of wealth. Many left the mountain with tales of woe and regret. Those that did not live in the wilderness could not follow the trails. As time has gone by it has been discovered that Pete left many marks to guide the way but it took learning and practice to uncover the secrets of finding Pete’s long sought after silver cache. The way to unlock the secret is ……. SPECIAL NOTE: Do not remove the cache, just leave a note that you were there with the date and time.

MILE SWIM An opportunity for Scouts to earn the BSA Mile Swim Award. Each swimmer will need a spotter. Sign-up with the aquatics director.

SNORKELING BSA Earn your snorkeling award at Kimball Scout Res-ervation’s great swimming pool. Sign-up with the aquatics director.

SAFE SWIM DEFENSE/SAFETY AFLOAT

The required procedure for conducting group swims and other aquatic activities will be offered at a Scoutmaster meeting.

POLAR BEAR Early morning swim at 6:00 a.m. every morning.

BEGINNING SWIMMING CLASS Designed to teach Scouts how to swim. HERE ARE A FEW EXTRA REMINDERS • Scouts should have no reason to leave camp,

but if leaving is necessary, they must be under the direction of one of their adult leaders. It is also necessary to notify the camp director or one of his representatives. Scouts leaving camp must be signed out by a parent or guard-ian with prior knowledge of the Scoutmaster.

• Camp is an outdoor nature experience. Per-sonal items such as radios, stereos, mp3 play-ers, electronic games, etc. are strictly prohibit-ed at camp. A Scout will be distracted and cheated out of a full outdoor experience by these types of items.

• Do not bring rifles, ammunition, bows and ar-rows to camp. The camp provides these items for earning the merit badges, and for recrea-tional shooting. Personal firearms and bows will be permitted in camp only if the camp di-rector has granted prior approval. All person-al firearms and archery equipment will be stored under lock and key at the ranges, and must be checked in to the shooting sports di-rector upon arrival at camp.

• No fireworks may be brought to or used at camp.

• No alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs are al-lowed on BSA property.

• Scouts must stay out of other troop campsites unless invited. Off-limits include: camp rang-er’s home and yard, maintenance area and staff city.

• All fires at the fire bowl must be tended at all times.

• All liquid fuels must be stored in a designated area under adult supervision.

• No flames of any kind in tent. • No sheath knives allowed in camp.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CAMPSITE AND LATRINE AREA BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT.

THE LEGEND OF POTOSI PETE

In the early 1840’s, many prospectors set out to seek their fortune in the hills near Las Vegas, Nevada

where they mined for lead to make ammunition. One miner, Pete, discovered that the lead mined on his

claim was of very poor quality and no one would buy it and he became very discouraged. As he sat with

the other miners around the campfire one night, he told a nearby miner, Silver Pan Dan, about his pre-

dicament.

Later that evening, Silver Pan Dan and his buddy, Jerk Water Jake, went quietly to Pete’s claim to exam-

ine his lead. Sure enough, Dan discovered that Pete’s claim produced poor lead because of the large

amount of silver in it. Silver was a much more valuable commodity than lead and would sell at a much

higher price. Silver Pan Dan and Jerk Water Jake decided to steal Pete’s claim. Together they vowed

that if Pete didn’t give up his claim and leave for California the next day, they would shoot him. Howev-

er, as luck would have it, Chief Yuma, of the local Potosi Indian tribe, overheard Silver Pan Dan plotting

with Jerk Water Jake. The old Indian chief quickly warned Pete about the plot to steal his claim and the

valuable silver.

Pete decided to beat the two miners at their own game, so he sent for the marshal to arrest Dan and

Jake. When Pete, the marshal, and the Indian chief, confronted Silver Pan Dan and Jerk Water Jake, Jake

tried to blame Dan for their evil plot. In a fit of range Silver Pan Dan shot Jerk Water Jake dead and

made his escape toward the Indian village. As he passed through the teepees, Dan saw the chief’s beau-

tiful daughter, White Dove, on her pony. Coming up silently behind her, Dan quickly mounted the pony

and rode off into the mountain, taking the Indian princess as his hostage. He hid out in the caves over-

looking the Potosi valley.

The marshal, Pete, and Chief Yuma were immediately on Dan’s trail. Scaling the cliffs above the hideout

cave, Pete waited for a signal from the marshal and the chief. At the same moment, the three of them

entered the cave, took Silver Pan Dan prisoner, and set the Indian princess free.

Silver Pan Dan was later found guilty of the murder of Jerk Water Jake and hung on the tallest tree on

Potosi Mountain, “Lynching High Tree”. Pete fell in love with White Dove and they were married. Sever-

al years later, due to dry conditions, the Potosi tribe found no game to hunt and fell on very difficult

times. Pete generously used the silver from his mine to help the Indians. The grateful chief made Pete a

full brother of the Potosi tribe and he became known as Potosi Pete.
