About Us
Camp Grizzly
Since 1938, Camp Grizzly has been a hub of summer adventure to countless Scouts. Located on the Palouse River about
12 miles east of Potlatch, Idaho.
Referred to as “The Pride of the Palouse”, it is used year-round by Scouts, Schools, Churches, Families, the Forest
Service, Military Branches and more. We have hosted Summer Camps, Youth Activities, Corporate Retreats, Family
Reunions, Church Retreats, Weddings, and we’ve even been the Base Camp for smokejumpers and firefighters during
wildfires.
In recent years the camp has been refurbished with an upgraded Dining hall containing a modern commercial kitchen, a
new STEM Lodge, upgraded well pumps, and WIFI throughout the camp.
We are thrilled to open our 440 acres to you this season and invite you to experience this beautiful, one-of-a-kind
Scouting location this summer.
Staff
Camp Grizzly is built on a proud tradition of collaboration between the units and the staff. Our goal is to provide your
Scouts with an amazing experience they will never forget, and our staff will go above and beyond to ensure that
happens.
We are thrilled to meet you and make this summer the best it can be for you and your Scouts!

*All aquatics merit badges (see requirement #2 on each badge) and achievements specify that a Scout must complete the BSA Swim Test before
doing any other requirements. If a Scout cannot complete either the “beginner” or “swimmer” swim test (See guide to safe Scouting) by the end of
the first day of classes their schedule may be adjusted, and they may be moved to other classes outside of aquatics.

Weekly Schedule
6 | PageAge/Size Appropriate Classes The Guide to Advancement states that “No council, committee, district, unit, or individual has the authority to add to, or subtract from, advancement requirements.” (see Guide to Advancement p. 2) With that in mind, Camp Grizzly does not impose any age restrictions on our merit badge classes not already included in the badge itself. We do; however, make note that younger, smaller, or Thanks to our Donors for Providing less experienced Scouts may have difficulties with Correct Equipment! certain classes and activities. Examples include holding up a shotgun for long periods of time, using the large Thanks to our friends at the NRA and many other gloves or helmets in Welding, or attempting Wilderness donors we can have correctly sized equipment at our Survival before completing the knot and fire-building ranges, waterfront and more to best serve all our requirements leading up to Second Class.

Camp Wide Events
Most years, camp-wide events involving all the troops in
camp are common; however, in 2021 while using the
Cohort model, these will be somewhat limited, although
we will do our best to ensure as many as possible are
able to happen.
Vespers
(Monday Evening)
Monday evening after our campfire program, we hold a
short, non-denominational worship service in the
parade field area. All Scouts and leaders are invited to
attend for an inspirational experience in the Palouse
river area.
Campfire Programs
(Sunday & Friday Evenings)
Campfire Skit and Song Tips
Our staff will host the opening campfire program on
Sundays. Units will have the opportunity to participate Here are some things to think of as your Scouts prepare
in the closing campfire, during Family Night. for their campfire:

waterfront at 6:15 am to take a short swim in the brisk
morning water! Scouts and leaders who participate will
receive a Polar Bear Swim patch to take home with
them.
Flag Ceremonies
(Evenings before dinner)
In the evening, there will be a camp-wide ceremony for
the whole camp conducted by the staff in the Parade
Field. Each unit will have designated locations to stand
which will be socially distanced and allow us to be
together while still being safe.
8 | PageScoutmaster Dinner
(Wednesday Evening)
In honor of those who volunteer and sacrifice so much
for our youth in Scouting, every week we hold a special
dinner just for the leaders who take their time to be
with us in camp. Scoutmasters and other unit leaders
get to have a specially prepared steak dinner and spend
an evening with the camp management team.
Family Night
(Friday Evening)
Family members are invited to come join us Friday
evening for dinner (or during any other evening
programs but especially Friday night) and the closing
campfires. Guests need to check in at the business

campsite.
Laird Park

Trail on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for a
jump off the dam into the swimming area, and

Senior Patrol Leaders should sign up with the Program
Director as soon as they are on campus.
9 | PagePatrol Leader
Responsibilities
We believe that Patrol Leaders and Senior Patrol
Leaders should lead their Scouts as much as possible.
We offer several opportunities in camp for youth
leaders to organize and lead their Scouts.
Every morning after breakfast there will be a short
meeting for Scoutmasters and Patrol Leaders with a
member of the camp management to make sure that
troops are aware of all the activities going on in camp “Go Ask Your SPL”
and see if any issues or needs need to be addressed.
At Camp Grizzly we believe that youth should lead

The Order of the Arrow
The Order of the Arrow (OA) recognizes Scouts and
Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in
their daily lives. OA service, activities, adventures, and
training for youth and adults are models of quality
leadership development and programming that enrich
and help to extend Scouting to America’s youth.
