stay. Recruit more if you will have 20 or more Scouts. Any time your unit does not have two adults
to spend the night, an adult staff member will be assigned for a fee of $35 per night.

copy of this policy can be emailed to camp@samoset.org. Most councils provide this insurance and
can provide evidence of coverage.
• Pre-order custom t-shirts to ensure that everyone will have one to wear at camp. Shirts ordered by
May 3 will cost $13.50 and can be customized with your unit number or other text (see page 8).

• For Samoset Troops, send in your Adult OA Nomination by May 1.
• Work with each Scout in planning an advancement schedule and getting them started with the
pre-camp work listed in this guidebook (see page 21). Each adult who will be at camp should have

(see page 12). Also, have the medication form completed for those Scouts taking medication at
camp.
• Complete special dietary requests for all Scouts requiring special meals (see page 13).
• Attend Spring Work Trek on May 3-5 to help get camp ready (see page 34).

plans. Download our Parent’s Guide to help with this event.
Tesomas Scout Camp 2019 Leader Guidebook 5
Two Weeks Before Camp
PREPARATION
• Collect all Scout & Leader medical forms (ensure that we will be able to keep a copy) and Scout
medication forms. You may send copies (NOT originals) of all these to camp two weeks prior to
your arrival.
• Check up on each Scout’s pre-camp advancement work.
• Make final advancement changes up until two weeks prior to camp.
• Hold an inspection of personal packs and equipment. Also, prepare unit equipment for camp.
• Prepare multiple copies of your unit roster for camp and other leaders.

• Remind the Scouts to pack a lunch for the day you arrive unless you plan to stop.
• Plan to arrive between 2:00 and 3:00 PM.
Right Before You Depart
• Collect any remaining medical forms and ensure everyone has their medications in their original
containers with a label containing the Scout’s name and unit number.
• Ensure rides will be at camp to pick Scouts up before 11:00 AM on the following Saturday.
Preparation Suggestions
we strongly suggest you follow these in your planning
Leadership
• The leaders (one of which needs to be 21 or older) who will be staying at camp should have some
camping and Scouting experience. Youth Protection training is also required of every adult leader.
• The safety of our youth is of greatest importance at camp. Therefore, all adults accompanying a
unit to camp must be registered as a leader, including completion of a criminal background check
and youth protection training. These steps should be completed with your local council.
• Have one additional Leader, 18 or older (male or female) for every 10 Scouts.
• If your unit has any female youth, you must have at least one female adult.
Arrival
• Complete an approved swim check before coming to camp (see page 7 to find out more) or come to
camp wearing your swim trunks ready for a swim in Crystal Lake.
• Units will be required to submit an official roster from their council for verification when they
arrive (this can be sent in advance)
• Have all the heavy gear in one vehicle so that it can be taken to your campsite all at once.
• Have a copy of all medical forms in alphabetical order for camp to keep. If you mailed in the
medical forms, they will be at the medical recheck station.
• Your unit will have the option to take a unit photo upon arrival (see page 8).
Advancement
• It is recommended that first year Scouts participate in the Eagle Quest Program and one or two
simple merit badges in their free time such as Basketry or Fingerprinting (see page 25).
• Second year Scouts who aren’t First Class should sign up for Eagle Quest and merit badges.
• Be aware that OA candidates who are going through their Ordeal will miss all of their Thursday
sessions. Talk with the staff for how to make these up.
• All Scouts should be given a copy of their advancement schedule. Leaders should also have copies
for easy reference.
• Leaders should ensure each Scout has chosen programs according to their interests and ability.
• Schedule merit badges/activities carefully to allow travel time in between (i.e. avoid scheduling a
shooting sports merit badge right before or after a COPE/climbing activity).
• All Scouts taking merit badges should have their blue cards filled out and signed by an adult leader
before arriving at camp. These are then turned into the Program Center on Sunday.
• All Scouts should be made aware of their prerequisites (see pages 21-22).
• All Scouts should read the merit badge pamphlet(s) before coming to camp.
Tesomas Scout Camp 2019 Leader Guidebook 6
Pre-Camp Swim Tests
PREPARATION
information on taking your swim test before camp
Units have the option to complete a swim test prior to their arrival. By participating, you will save valuable
campsite setup time. This will also make it easier to do individual unit activities before you come to camp.
• Units may complete their swim tests through one of several council swim nights in the spring. As
locations and dates are secured they will be posted online.
• A trained staff will certify those completing the test meet the requirements for their skill level.
• Units may also complete swim tests prior to camp on their own. A BSA Lifeguard, Red Cross
Lifeguard, or equivalent must administer the tests and certify the results.
• Forms and procedures for unit run swim tests are available online.
• For questions contact camp at (715) 365-3111 or camp@samoset.org.

Inherent Dangers
Everyone should be prepared for potential problems that are out of the control of the camp. There are
a lot of natural hazards like rocks, roots, and branches that may cause injury if not cautious. Campers
can avoid visits from animals by not allowing any food, drinks, or scented items in or near their tents.
To avoid lost or stolen items, leave your valuables at home or have them stored securely in vehicles.
Youth Protection Policies
Nothing is more important to the BSA than the safety of our youth members. We believe that even one
instance of child abuse is unacceptable. The BSA is committed to providing a safe and secure environment
for all. Youth protection requires sustained vigilance, and we work every day to protect children through
mandatory policies.
• One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is prohibited.
• Privacy of youth is respected. Adult leaders and youth must respect each other’s privacy, especially
in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp.
• Adults may not share a tent with a member of the opposite sex unless married to each other.
• No youth may share a tent with an adult or a person of the opposite sex other than a family
member or guardian. Assigning youth members more than two years apart in age to sleep in the
same tent should be avoided unless the youth are relatives.
• The buddy system should be used at all times. The buddy system is a safety measure for all Scouting
activities. Buddies should know and be comfortable with each other. Buddies should select each
other, with no more than two years’ age difference and the same level of maturity.
• Hazing and initiations are prohibited and may not be included as part of any Scouting activity.
• No bullying. Verbal, physical, and cyber bullying are prohibited in Scouting.

CHECK-IN & OUT
how to check in and out of camp on your first and last days
With many Scouts and Leaders arriving and checking in at the same time, we need your help. We want to
make this the easiest, fastest, and most efficient check in process you’ve ever experienced. Staff will be
available in the parking lot and at various check-in points to assist wherever needed.
Check-In Process
1. Arrive between 2:00 and 3:00 PM on Sunday with your entire unit. If you will not be able to check-in
during this period, please notify us in advance. Units that would like to arrive on Saturday, may do
so by contacting us in advance.
2. A member of the staff will greet you in the parking lot and lead your unit throughout the entire
check-in procedure.
3. Move to main camp for medical rechecks and Dining Hall orientation. Be prepared to present a copy
of everyone’s medical form for camp to keep in alphabetical order at the medical recheck station.
Medication must be turned in the Health Officer sometime Sunday afternoon.
4. Move into your campsite with your gear. Only one vehicle per unit will be allowed to go to your
campsite at a time. Unit trailers are allowed and can be parked within the confines of your site.
5. Between 2:00 and 5:00 units may complete a swim test at the waterfront. This is required for anyone
to enter the Waterfront area during your stay. Each camper will receive a “buddy tag” which must
be used to enter the Waterfront. (You can come to camp wearing your swimsuit to save time and
complete this before going to your campsite.)
6. Between 3:30 and 6:00, staff will be available at the Flag Pole to take your unit photo (see page 8).
7. Return to your campsite, change clothes for the evening meal (Scout uniform), and finish your
campsite set-up. For questions in regards to advancement visit the Program Center anytime during
the afternoon.
8. Flag lowering will be at 6:20. After dinner a staff member will lead you on a tour of camp. This is a
great opportunity for new Scouts to become familiar with the layout of camp and returning Scouts to
be introduced to changes from previous years.
If your unit needs to arrive early, please contact the camp office at (715) 365-3111 to
get approval. Units that arrive early are on their own until check-in starts on Sunday.
Check-Out Process
1. Sweep the floors and wipe down walls in the campsite latrine. Scrub and clean urinal, toilet seats,
and washbasin. Be sure to wear gloves and wash hands afterward.
2. Wash and rinse picnic tables.
3. Return shovel, rake, broom, and other campsite supplies to the latrine.
4. Leave a complimentary woodpile for the next unit.
5. Pick up all trash in and around your campsite. Sort your trash and leave it tied by the road. Rinse out
the waste receptacles.
6. Return any equipment borrowed from camp to the appropriate location.
7. Settle your unit’s account, pick up your patches, medication, and troop photos, and turn in your
Adult Leader and SPL evaluations at the Program Center.
8. Sign up for Hanna Winter Resort and Tesomas 2020. For more information about year-round
camping opportunities see page 33 or contact the Samoset Camping.

Camp-wide Tours, after dinner: An opportunity for new Scouts to become familiar with the layout of camp
and returning Scouts to be introduced to changes from previous years.
Crash Landing, 8:00-9:00, Grand Council Ring: After mistakenly traveling through a worm-hole, the crew of
SpaceShip Smiley experiences immense damage to their vessel, forcing them to make an emergency stop for
repairs on a mysterious unknown planet. But a broken flux accelerator is the least of their concerns. While
stopped on this planet, infamous shapeshifter and intergalactic space fugitive Antonio Cornholio escapes
from the crew’s brig. Join the crew to find parts to fix the ship and track down Antonio Cornholio.
Cracker Barrel, 9:00-9:30, Dining Hall: Following the campfire you will have a chance to meet the staff while
enjoying some special treats.
Monday
Search for the Shapeshifter 7:45- 9:00, Main Camp: With repairs made to the ship completed, the
crew of SpaceShip Smiley needs to locate Antonio Cornholio before they can leave this mysterious planet.
Because Antonio Cornholio is a shapeshifter, the crew needs to figure out what shape Antonio Cornholio was
last seen as. To do this, we need the Scouts help! In Patrols of 3 to 8, scouts will interview the native aliens to
this planet to find out what form Antonio Cornholio last took. With alliances drawn, some aliens won’t be so
quick to snitch. Be prepared to complete patrol-based challenges to gain intel on his identity.
Tesomas Scout Camp 2019 Leader Guidebook 18Tuesday
PROGRAM
Unit Campsite Cookout, 6:00, Your Campsite: Each unit
will select and cook their evening meal in their campsite.
Tuesday afternoon, the staff will deliver a cooler full of
your food to your site. This is your opportunity for your
unit to run your own program. Have your garbage sorted
and tied by the road by 8:00 PM for pick-up.
Investigation on a Mysterious Planet, 7:45-9:00: With
Antonio Cornholio’s disguise now known, we can begin
searching in hopes to bring us to his location. Luckily,
areas on this planet is holding an annual campfire festival
with games and activities where Scouts can participate
in games and activities with the aliens to gain their trust,
so they will help us find the infamous Antonio Cornholio.
Keep in mind that the captain’s orders mandate fun.
Wednesday
Picnic/Visitor Night, 3:30-7:30, Main Camp: Invite your friends and family to camp for a visit, tour, and
meal. During the afternoon visit program areas. Then join us for our picnic style meal at 6:00. Tickets for this
meal may be purchased in the Program Center for $5 a plate.
Future Staff Panel, 4:30-5:30, Ed Lund Shelter: Scouts interested in being on staff next summer (and their
parents if they wish) can hear more about what being on staff means and ask any questions. Some of our
staff will be leading a panel discussion and allow scouts to fill out necessary paperwork to get an application.
OA Call Out Ceremony, 8:00-9:00, Grand Council Ring: Each Scoutmaster should talk with the OA
Coordinator on Sunday to discuss your unit’s involvement with the OA during your stay. Wednesday night,
all guests should assemble outside the Grand Council Ring gateway at 7:30. Your unit should assemble

Ceremony is one of the finest ceremonies in the country.
Thursday
OA Brotherhood Ceremony, 7:45-8:10, Ordeal Ceremony, 8:15-9:00, Arrow Bowl: All Order of the Arrow
members are encouraged to attend these ceremonies.
The Trap, 7:45-9:00: As of yet, the crew has been unable to find Antonio Cornholio. Now is time to execute
Plan B: to lure Antonio Cornholio in by using the very crimes he was convicted of. Scouts will help explore
C.O.P.E. and Climbing activities that Antonio Cornholio used to steal the valuable jewels of Bunooboo. At
Personal Wellness, Scouts will help throw frisbees much like those that the deceitful shapeshifter distracted
guards with at the Interstellar Bank of Humnugget. Based on his final crime, Scouts can relax at the Water
Front much like Antonio Cornholio tried to after his massive tax fraud scheme on the planet RuhRah.
Experiencing his infamous crimes for ourselves will surely lead him directly to us!
Friday
Closing Campfire, 7:45-8:30, Grand Council Ring:
Antonio Cornholio has revealed himself! But, his plans
to steal SpaceShip Smiley and thus stranding the crew
on this planet must be stopped! Scouts must meet the
Space Crew at the Grand Council Ring at 7:10 PM to stop
Antonio Cornholio from fulfilling his twisted plan!
Saturday
Slideshow, Dining Hall: The crew of SpaceShip Smiley
has discovered the ship’s audio/video log of the team’s
adventures and will show the entire camp what was
recorded! These wicked adventures will be broadcasted
in the Dining Hall after breakfast. A copy can be
!
purchased in the Program Center upon checkout.
More details about weekly and daily activities will be provided on Sunday evening.
