Scouts and Scouters,

Welcome to the Grand Canyon Council Boy Scouts of America Summer Camp Season!

We look forward to a great year of summer camp activities at Camp Geronimo. The camp experience is always an excellent forum for Troop and Team members to hone their skills and develop new ones while having fun in the great Arizona outdoors.

This year, as in some previous years, it is possible that some National Forest lands may be closed to public access. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing the best program possible if the surrounding Forest lands are closed. We urge you to consult our talented program staff upon arrival for tips, options and suggestions on in-camp programs.
We appreciate your patience and understanding over these past years as we battled repeated drought, bark beetles, fires, floods and other challenges. Camp Geronimo has benefited from our Capital Campaign funds in many ways thanks to your generosity. Our staff is ready to help facilitate an outstanding program for you and your scouts this summer.

Enjoy camp!

2011 Troop 109 Survival outing

Troop 109 just completed another great outing.  This month, the Troop went to an undisclosed pine forest under the Mogollon Rim and had one of the most successful survival outings to date.  This year, the scouts were divided into six survival teams and headed out to their survival campsites with only a sleeping bag, water and survival kit.  At their sites, they were provided a container of survival food.  The scouts had to build a fire with no matches and then figure out how to cook such items as whole tilapia fish, chayote squash, prickly pear pads and assortment of other raw vegetables using no cooking utensils.  Each survival group was graded on: fire making, camp craft, cooking and leave no trace.
