Pack your gear, grab your sunscreen, and get ready for the best week of the year at Sinoquipe Scout Reservation!
Camp isn’t just about checking off merit badges (though you’ll definitely crush a few of those)—it’s about the unforgettable moments that happen between the sessions. Whether you are a first-time camper or a seasoned pro, this week is your chance to step outside your comfort zone, try something new, make memories that will last a lifetime and have a blast!

• Participate:Be an active part of your patrol and camp activities. Sing loud at campfires, cheer on your team in competitions, and volunteer to help out when needed. The more you put in, the more you'll get out.
• Make Friends: One of the best parts of camp is the people you meet. Be friendly, introduce yourself to new people, and work together as a team. You'll make lifelong friendships with scouts from all over.
• Embrace the Outdoors: Enjoy the fresh air, starry nights, and the sights and sounds of nature. Disconnect from electronics and reconnect with the world around you.
• Be Open to New Things: Step outside your comfort zone and try activities you might not normally do. You might surprise yourself with how much you enjoy them!
• Challenge Yourself: Push yourself a little bit outside your comfort zone. Learn a new skill, go on a challenging hike, or participate in a high ropes course. You'll be proud of what you accomplish.

Have fun, we can’t wait to hear all about your summer camp adventures.

Four important items for parents regarding our upcoming trip to Camp Sinoquipe (read more to see all 4).

1. Prerequisites: As we approach the end of the school year, please remind your scouts that many merit badges offered at Camp Sinoquipe have prerequisites that must be completed prior to camp in order to earn the badge during summer camp. Don't worry If they don't do the prerequisites, they will receive a "partial completion" and can finish the remaining requirements at a later date. Prerequisites are listed beginning on page 52 of the Sinoquipe Leaders Guide 2026.

Reminder - no troop meeting at SHUMC during the week of summer camp.

A quick reminder to bring your handbooks to troop meetings. There is often time to work on rank requirements, so you need your book to record your achievements. At meetings, scouts are shown and taught an advancement skill. Scouts can practice on their own with the help of their handbook and other scouts. At a later meeting, scouts can demonstrate the skill to a leader, who will sign it off in their handbook.
