WAYS OF THE SCOUT CAMP
July 21 - 25, 2025
Ways of the Scout camp mentors honor the skill of those who have served as scouts, revered members of many indigenous cultures. Native American scouts, for example, live a solitary existence, traveling ahead of all others to locate the best and safest places for hunting and setting up a village camp. They are chosen for possessing attributes such as truthfulness, courage, intuition, awareness, and an innate ability to interpret the landscape. Scouts are essential to the strength and well being of their people. How might walking in the footsteps of the scout be of value to those of you who are walking through the teen years toward adulthood?
