An unequalled opportunity for Scouts to achieve amazing progress on their Trail to Eagle. Scouts will receive intensive merit badge instruction from some of the most qualified merit badge counselors around, on up to six Eagle Rank required merit badges: Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Communications, Family Life & Personal Management.
This isn’t just another trip to summer camp, this experience is like no other that we’ve seen anywhere else in the southern region. Beyond the merit badge instruction, there are presentations on how to plot your trail to eagle, like: Planning and executing a successful Eagle Project. How to prepare for your board of review. And an opportunity to see the one-of-a-kind “History of the Eagle” presentation. Not to mention teambuilding and a whole lot more.
Space is limited. For the basics view the flyer here.

Going nuts about Knots
Knots are earned by training and tenure serving in Scouting. If you're trained for your position and have the tenure for the various knots, you could be eligible for a knot. If not take a look and see what is required to earn knots related to your position in Scouting. Click here for more info. A trained leader proves that they are "doing their best" to serve their youth in scouting.
