Fort Erie - Maumee Scout Reservation
|
|
|
Summer Camp 2017 marked the grand opening of a new project at Maumee Scout Reservation. Fort Erie is our most recent program area and the new home to our Maumee Mountaineer Challenge. Scouts from all over had the opportunity to relive the past and participate in many activities that were a part of everyday life hundreds of years ago. The former Erie Campsite on East Ridge provides a perfect setting for a variety of activities such as knife and tomahawk throwing, two-man sawing, Atlatl throwing, branding leather on a real forge, woodsman skills, vintage games, and much more. Scouts and staff were able to dress in period clothing and listen to folk music while enjoying a warm crackling fire and sipping on root beer and eating kettle corn. This area was a huge success and very well attended during all our weeks of camp!
But that’s not all… When the Mountain Man Rendezvous is over, the Maumee Mountaineer Challenge begins. Each week, First Class Scouts and Scouters are able to put their skills to the test in this four year challenge that can only be completed at summer camp. Fort Erie will be the base site for this great new program and include activities like fire building, orienteering, leadership, service, canoeing, Scout craft, black powder shooting, and leatherwork. The activities become more difficult as your challenge continues from Ridge Runner to Voyageur, Mountaineer, and finally, Hiveranno. While these activities happen, service opportunities will open for Scouts and leaders to help build Fort Erie into an authentic construction of a period fort complete with walls, activity areas and furnishings used for many of our programs. Scouts will be able to see their handiwork for years to come!

Wilderness First Aid Training
|
|
|
This event is open to any Scout (at least 14 years old) or Scout leader who is proficient in basic first aid skills AND holds a current certification in American Red Cross CPR with AED or the equivalent.
We are hosting an advanced first aid course designed to teach skills necessary for providing care to victims of illness or injury in a setting where professional help is delayed. The successful completion of the course is dependent on a working confident knowledge of basic first aid skills. Time does not permit the teaching of these basic skills during the advanced course.
Whether you are a Scout, an outdoor enthusiast or you work in a remote environment, our Wilderness and Remote First Aid Course gives you the skills you need to respond to an emergency when help may be delayed.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE ENTIRE COURSE IN ORDER TO BE CERTIFIED.
