Southeast Louisiana Council
Shoot, Swim & Climb
September 6-8, 2019
Presented by
Southeast Louisiana Council
Camping & Outdoor Programs Committee
The 6th annual Shoot, Swim & Climb. This event was a great success last year with almost 500 Scouts BSA & Venturers. It is sure to be bigger and better this year. All of the FUN activities of Summer Camp rolled into one day. We will open the pool, the climbing tower for climbing and rappelling, the rifle range with reactive targets, shotgun range with 3 trap houses, standard archery, sporting archery, canoes, kayaks, standup paddle boards and other water craft in the lake mountain bikes for "rent" and many other activities in between.
The activities are geared towards Scout and Venturing age youth only. (We will not be able to provide activities appropriate for younger youth - please look for Fall Cub Encampment.)
The event is designed to be what we call FREE STYLE. This is an event with very limited scheduling. Scouts and Venturers will rotate between activities at their own pace selecting which activities they would like to participate in. Keep in mind that this is a very large event and there may be lines at some of the activities. In the case of a long line the Scouts can move on to another activity and return later when the lines are a little shorter.
We will serve lunch on Saturday at 12:00 in the dining hall. All other meals are the responsibility of the Unit. We will also have an ice cream party on Saturday night on the dining hall porch.
Units MUST use the online registration process. Please register as a Unit rather than individual registrations.
Units should arrive no earlier than 6:00p on the Friday night. Someone will be at the front gate to greet you and give you directions.
All Units should have Annual Health & Medical records for all campers, both youth and adult.
Upon arrival Units will check in at the administration building for a health form review.
Swim Checks will be available on Friday night between 6:00p and 8:30p. We will also accept the Unit Swim Classification Record available at https://www.scouting.org/filestore/Outdoor Program/Aquatics/pdf/430-122.pdf.
All youth participants that intend to participate in shooting sports, including archery, MUST attend a safety briefing at the activity area - where an armband will be issued.
Venturers & older Scouts interested in Venturing - there are three Venturer-only events being planned for Shoot, Swim, & Climb: 1) Friday night Venturer climbing & rappelling, 7:00p to 8:45p; 2) Saturday morning 8:30a to 9:30a Venturing COPE Activity at Tower; 3) Saturday night 7:00p to 9:00p Dive-In Movie at pool.
There is the opportunity to list campsite preference or No Campsite if only coming for the day) in the registration process. Please understand that due to the size of this event you may not get the site you requested. We have a lot of campers and a limited amount of space.
