The EP 2c is exactly what amused us yesterday. I am going to the NCAC Scout Store today at 10 AM EST. Let me know if you need the book. Depending on where you live if I mailed it today from Northern VA, it should get there by Friday.
Goshen expects the Scouts to complete Req 9 of the Fishing Badge before they get to camp. This would be "Catch two different kinds of fish and identify them. Release at least one of them unharmed. Clean and cook another fish." If the Scout has never fished before, this step seems a lot easier said than done, especially the cleaning part. Fish are also a lot more prolific in the middle of the mountains at Goshen than they are in Northern VA.
My son's troop has 85 scouts so there are always enough boys to attend 3 different options: "regular" scout camp, local high adventure (in our area-Goshen's Lenhoksin), and then the triennial rotation of Philmont, Northern Tier, and Sea Base. This year, the trip is Philmont so next year will be NT. If a Scout is an OA member, he can go to high adventure at a much lower cost through OA than going through his troop.
