Summer Camp is more than having fun and earning merit badges
Scouts
indicate that summer camp is more than just a place to have fun. It
also offers Scouts the opportunity to participate in physically and
intellectually challenging activities, introduces them to new and
rewarding experiences, and provides them with supportive and caring
relationships.
