Onward & Upward
Prepare for liftoff! Camp Birch is launching an exciting summer of exploration, discovery, and adventure. Scouts will work together to complete exciting missions, solve challenges, and discover new horizons through hands-on activities and unforgettable experiences.
Webelos & Arrow of Light Overnight Camp at Camp Birch is designed especially for Scouts entering 4th or 5th grade in the upcoming fall. This immersive overnight experience helps prepare Scouts for their journey into the Scouts BSA program.
During their stay, Scouts will complete select adventures while strengthening leadership, outdoor skills, teamwork, and independence—the same qualities that inspire every successful explorer. Through hands-on challenges, collaborative problem-solving, and activities inspired by this year's Onward & Upward theme, Scouts will build confidence, make lasting friendships, and prepare for the exciting adventures that await them in Scouts BSA.
Join us this summer as we reach for the stars, explore new frontiers, and discover that the greatest adventures begin when we go Onward & Upward!

10 Day Out Meeting
- June 17, 2027 at 7:30 PM on the back porch of the Turner Building
Please bring your Medical Forms parts A and B to the 10 Day Out Meetings so they can be looked over by our medic. If there are any deficiencies, they will be sent back with the unit so they can be completed before you check-in for camp. Also, bring any Special Medical Needs and Dietary Restriction Forms if you have not already emailed them to the Camp Director. At the ten-day-out meeting, we will discuss what to expect for your week of camp, any updates, and assign a check-in time for your unit. If there is a reason your unit cannot attend your week’s ten-day-out meeting, contact the Camp Director to make other arrangements.
Adult Leadership
All youth must be registered in Scouting and under the supervision of an adult. Most Webelos/Arrow of Light Dens attend as a group and the Den Leaders coordinate to provide leadership. Please coordinate with your Den and Den Leader prior to registering.
National standards require certain minimum youth-to-adult ratios for Webelos & Arrow of Light Overnight Camps. The breakdown is as follows:
1-8 youth = 2 adults 9-12 youth = 3 adults 13-16 youth = 4 adults and so on
Adult registration for Webelos & Arrow of Light Overnight Camp is $30 (late fees apply) and covers the cost of food and facility usage.
All Scouts attending Webelos & Arrow of Light Overnight Camp must be under the supervision of an adult who has agreed to be responsible for that Scout.
Medical Form
All campers (youth and adults) are required to have parts A & B of the Medical Form. In part B, the immunization record must be completed and include dates. The date of the tetanus vaccine must be within the last 10 years. Medical forms are due at the 10 Day Out Meeting.
Other Forms
Camp Check-in
Each unit will be assigned a specific check-in time during the Ten-Day-Out Meeting. If your unit is unable to attend that meeting, a member of the camp staff will contact you with your assigned check-in time. Scheduled arrival times help ensure every unit receives the time and attention needed for a smooth check-in process.
Upon arrival, all participants will complete a medical check-in with our camp medics. During this time, you will:
-
Turn in any outstanding paperwork not collected at the Ten-Day-Out Meeting
-
Submit any remaining payments
-
Receive camp materials (shirts, patches, etc.)
After medical check-in, your unit will receive a guided camp tour and proceed to the pool for swim checks, if needed.
