Our first year
Scout program is specially designed for those who are new to Scouting,
particularly those right out of Webelos. It teaches them basic Scouting skills,
while introducing them to Scouting and Black Mountain. The Pathfinders program
is a half day program, offered each morning. Make sure that your new Scout
understands that the program will occupy half of his day. Pathfinder activities
include: Totin’ Chip instruction, Firem’n Chit instruction, Knots and
Lashings, Map and Compass, Hiking, First Aid, Plant and Animal Identification,
and Scout Spirit. Scouts learn skills and play games to work toward a common
goal: building a ‘balista’ catapult to launch water balloons.
The program is staff
lead and instructed by Adult Leaders in camp. A Pathfinder is encouraged
to take one (or two at the most) merit badges during the half day he is not at
Pathfinders. Leaders should encourage new Scouts to explore the many program
areas at Black Mountain. Camp Black Mountain recommends new Scouts attempt no
more than two merit badges. We suggest Pioneering, First Aid, Rowing, Astronomy,
and all Craft Lodge merit badges for first year Scouts.
