Greetings and Welcome to the 2013 Camping Season, I would like to personally invite you and your scout(s) to join the Juniata Valley Council and attend one of our many programs offered at Seven Mountains Scout Camp this summer. Since the conclusion of the 2012 camping season we have been in the process of refining the camp program, improving the camping experience, and making overall changes to better serve the Scouts of our local council, as well as those out-of-council units that join us each summer. We understand and support your desires to keep your children healthy and safe during our camp program. As such, the Council Camping and Risk Management Committees along with the camp management have been reviewing our past practices and making adjustments based on recommendations from volunteers and professional consultants. Some of these changes include changing meal serving to a cafeteria style serving to limit cross contamination, installing additional hand washing and sanitation stations, and raising our sanitation standards in the program areas. Additionally, while our current water source has been tested and approved many times, we have installed a new well and pump station to remove the possibility of future contamination from ground water runoff. We are also asking that parents and scouts assist us in keeping everyone healthy by maintaining high levels of personal sanitation through hand washing and regular bathing while at camp, and disclosing recent illnesses when checking into camp. Likewise, we ask that you avoid sending your son(s) to camp if they are currently or have recently been ill. Lastly, several BSA policies are in place to keep your son(s) safe. The Boy Scouts of America and the Juniata Valley Council require that all direct contact leaders hold current Youth Protection certification, and submit to a background check before they are permitted to work with youth. We also require that all visitors check in at the office, and that Scouts practice the buddy system at all times. In late 2012, the National Scout Office released an updated camp accreditation program which redefines many aspects of camp programming. In an effort to stay ahead of these changes, the camp leadership is making many adjustments to the current camp program. These changes include adjustments to the merit badge and advancement offerings, as well as the inclusion of non-merit badge and advancement related instruction. Additionally, we are striving to increase the quality and quantity of fun and fulfilling activities that will deepen your son(s) Scouting experience. I look forward to seeing each of you this summer, as we participate in one of Scouting’s trademark experiences. I also want to invite you to attend one of the pre-camp meetings that will be held at each District Roundtable in March. Additionally, if you have any questions regarding the programs contained within this guide or Scouting in general, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected], or 717-667-9267. Yours in Scouting, Chuck Apgar Camp Director Seven Mountains Scout Camp Juniata Valley Council, BSA
Seven Mountains Scout Camp Facilities and Food Service Seven Mountains Scout Camp is owned and operated by the Juniata Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America. This 230 acre outdoor educational facility is located just off of US 322 atop Seven Mountains at 227 Sand Mountain Road, Spring Mills, Pennsylvania 16875.
Accreditation All camping programs operated by the Juniata Valley Council, BSA are in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations, as well as BSA camping standards. Each year the camp facilities and program are evaluated by a team for the Northeast Region Scout Office, The Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Summer Food Program.
Meals Our menus are designed and approved to provide balanced and nutritious meals, and are prepared on site. Those requiring special dietary consideration due to health or religious reasons should notify the council upon registration and every effort will be made to accommodate the request. Any requests received less than two weeks before the start of your program may not be fully accommodated due to time constraints. Scouts may also apply for the Summer Food Assistance Program; applications are available at the Council Service Center.
Food Allergies It is critical that all food allergies be reported to the Juniata Valley Council at the time of registration using the Special Dietary Needs Form. This will allow us to make the adjustments necessary to keep your son safe. Our dining hall does utilize peanut products but use will be amended as per dietary restrictions.
Snacks Seven Mountains does not provide snacks as part of the summer camp program, however some snack products are available in the camp trading post. Water stations are provided through out the camp. Cub camp parents may wish to send a non-perishable snack with their son. Please be mindful that while the camp has many modern conveniences, it is still located in the outdoors and precautions should be taken to prevent animal intrusion.
Appropriate Dress Please be sure your Scout is dressed for and brings appropriate items for the weather as our program runs rain or shine. Closed toe footwear is required in all areas of camp. Flip flops, sandals, and other open toed shoes are not permitted by any participant.
What NOT to bring In an effort to keep the woods pristine, we ask that you leave all electronic games, audio devices and expensive items at home. Additionally large amounts of cash should be handled with care. The Camp Management and the Juniata Valley Council takes no responsibility for the safety or security of such items. A general rule of thumb is Don’t bring anything you cannot afford to replace. With the exception of service animals, pets are not permitted at camp.
Fee Assistance and Staffing Camp Fee Assistance The Juniata Valley Council, BSA is committed to making our outdoor program available to every youth regardless of financial ability. Scouts needing financial assistance are encouraged to look to the following for help: • Camperships- Available to local Juniata Valley Scouts. Camperships may cover up to half of the normal camp fee. Consideration is given for participation in Popcorn Sales. Anyone applying for a campership should also fill out the Summer Foods Application. • Summer Food Assistance Program- Scouts who qualify can receive assistance from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which will help lower costs. • Earn your way to camp Popcorn and Nut Sale- Scouts can earn their way to camp by participating in the spring popcorn sale. Credit from this sale will be directly applied to the Scout’s individual camp fund and can be used to help the Scout pay for camp. Funds from this sale have no cash value. • Multiple Scout Discount- Families that will be sending more than one Scout to camp may be eligible for an added discount. Please see each programs detail for specific rates.
Staffing The Juniata Valley Council works to recruit the best staff possible for our summer camping programs. Each adult staff member is subject to criminal background checks and is required to have Youth Protection Training, as per BSA regulations. Top onsite leadership are full time employees of the Juniata Valley Council, BSA.
Cub Scout Camp The Cub Scout camping program is primarily operated by volunteers from various local Packs and Troops, and is overseen by the seasonal camp staff. Staffing in the Aquatics and Shooting Sports areas are under the supervision of nationally trained and certified Directors to ensure safe operations.
Webelos and Boy Scout Resident Camps These programs are run by the seasonal staff made up of Scouts and Scouters from the surrounding area. All staff members receive training based on their job assignments and a nationally approved training guideline. Certain senior staff positions are required to attend a nationally run training course. Contact the Juniata Valley Council for a complete listing of certifications.
Staff Opportunities for 2013 We are always looking for enthusiastic new staff members. If you are at least 15 years old you are eligible to expand your Scouting resume and help give Scouts a summer to remember. Applications are available at jvcbsa.org. For more information contact Chuck Apgar at

The intention is to provide an opportunity for you to earn merit badges that are rarely offered outside of merit badge midways or colleges. None of the merit badges to be offered will be Eagle required or offered at summer camp or advancement day. We are developing the list of potential merit badges to be offered right now. Campers will have the ability to earn 2 or 3 merit badges depending upon the class time required for each one and counselor/resource limits. Some requirements may need to be completed before the camp in order to finish the merit badge at camp. This information will be provided after camp registration. Campers will arrive at 8:00 AM on Tuesday with lunch, dinner, tent site overnight, breakfast and lunch Wednesday with a 5:00 PM departure.

What a great way to spend the two days before July 4th!

Provisional campers attend camp separate from their home unit; instead they spend the week camping with another unit that is in camp. Provisional camping is also an option for those campers who wish to come to camp for an additional week after attending with their troop.

2013 Spring Popcorn & Nuts for Scouting Sale -- Earn Your Way to Camp -The Spring Popcorn and Nuts for Scouting Sale is designed to help offset the cost of the Juniata Valley Council Summer Camping Programs. This OPTIONAL Popcorn and Nuts for Scouting Sale is offered to individual Scouts and families that may need a little bit of help to defray the out-of-pocket costs of the registration fees for the Summer Cub Scout and Boy Scout Programs including Cub Scout Day Camp and overnight experience, Webelos Resident Camp, and Boy Scout Resident Camp. Scouts will be given a commission credit of 40% of the retail sales total of both popcorn and nuts which will be applied directly to the registration fee for ANY OF THE 2013 SUMMER CAMPING PROGRAMS AT SEVEN MOUNTAINS SCOUT CAMP THAT THE SCOUT(S) WILL BE ATTENDING! For example: If you are attending the Cub Day Camp and overnight experience and sell $372.50 in popcorn and/or nut sales, the commission credit would be $149.00, which would be applied to the registration fee of $149.00. This would mean that the Scout would attend the Cub Day Camp and overnight experience for FREE. With the difficult economic times that families are facing, this optional sale can be a great way for Scouts and families to save some money from their family budgets. No prizes will be offered during the Spring Sale. Scouts will take orders/collect money from now thru April 5th, and then turn in their order form and money to the Juniata Valley Council Service Center by 5pm, April 5th.

Juniata Valley Council Campership Form Scout’s Name___________________________________________________Pack/Troop_________________ Parent/Guardian Email Address_______________________________________ (Notification of Camperships will be sent by email unless an address is not available) The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Camperships are one of the many things that are used to reinforce the Scout Law by teaching a Scout to be Thrifty, in time and finances. A Campership will assist a Scout, by helping with earning his own way to camp when circumstances are out of his family’s means for participation. The purpose of the Juniata Valley Council, BSA Campership Fund is to provide assistance to Scouts, who otherwise may not be able to afford the cost of attending a Juniata Valley Council, BSA Summer Camping program. These applications are confidential and are reviewed by a volunteer committee. Consideration will be given to units who participate in the Annual Friends of Scouting Campaign, Fall Popcorn Sale and whether the Scout participates in any supplemental fundraising opportunity organized to help him raise funds for camp. A typical campership may be up to fifty-percent (50%) of the discounted camp fee. In exchange for the Campership, the Scout may be asked to provide some service to the council or camp and write a thank-you note to a contributor. The Campership Fund is available only to registered Juniata Valley Council Scouts who attend Seven Mountains Scout Camp. This form is due by May 1st Program Assistance needed for (Prices and Camperships are based on meeting early payment/registration deadline) Cub Scout Day Camp ($102) Webelos Resident Camp ($239) Cub Scout Day Camp and Overnight ($132) Boy Scout Resident Camp ($290) Please describe in general terms the need for financial assistance for this Scout. ________________________________________

Summer Camp Special Dietary Needs Form The Juniata Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America strives to serve its campers nutritious meals that meet or exceed all applicable requirements and standards, including those set forth by the Summer Foods Program. The variety of foods available at meals is usually adequate to suit the nutritional needs of most campers. In order to meet the needs of participants who have special dietary requirements due to allergies, food intolerances, or other health issues, as well as those who follow alternate diets for ethical or religious reasons, it is necessary to obtain as much information as possible prior to arrival at camp. Any participant who has special dietary needs is required to complete this form and return it along with verification from the camper’s physician, to the Council office no less than two (2) weeks prior to attendance at summer camp. Please be as specific as possible regarding the exact nature and severity of any allergy or intolerance. For example, it is necessary to know whether exposure to milk as an ingredient in food causes anaphylaxis or whether drinking milk causes stomach upset. This information is necessary to determine whether the individual can simply avoid eating certain foods, whether we need to assess all ingredients in every food, or whether offending foods can or cannot be stored or served where they may contact the individual or things he or she may eat. Additionally, extra time may be required to obtain special foods. While the Juniata Valley Council attempts to provide meals which meet these special needs as much as possible, it is still the responsibility of the individual to avoid those foods which he or she is unable to eat. Under no situations will a camper be made to eat anything that he or she does not wish to eat.
Please complete the attached form regarding the specific food, the type of exposure that causes symptoms, specific reactions, and the severity of said reactions.
