activity pass you by. Sign-up now for this great adventure.
Ranger Program
for Older Scouts
S bar F Scout Ranch
 The Ranger Program is
designed for those Scouts who are 14 or older, or in their fourth
summer camp, are in good physical condition and are looking for fun,
adventure, and challenges in the backwoods of the S bar F Scout Ranch.
Teamwork, problem solving, cooperation, and leadership development are
important parts of the Ranger Program. Activities that have been
included in the program are blacksmithing, Native American sweat
lodge, ropes course, and black powder shooting. The Scouts will swim,
have time to fish, and participate in games designed to improve
outdoor skills. The Ranger Program activities vary from year to year.
A minimum of five Scouts is needed to conduct the weekly program.
The Ranger Program's activities will take place at various locations
at the S bar F Ranch. The Scouts will live in outpost camps, carry all
equipment necessary for camping, and walk portions of the Three Notch
Trail that show nature in its raw form. A Scout should participate in
the Ranger Program if he is interested in increasing his appreciation
of nature, camping, and self-reliance. Since many of the activities
require strength and courage, some physical conditioning may be
desirable before camp.
Individual Scouts may sign up for the Ranger Program as their second
week in camp.
A total cost of $210.00 will be charged for the Ranger Program, which
includes an emblem and camp segment. All fees should be paid in full
by June 1, 2009. Adults are welcome on the program. Scouts should meet
at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday at the Scout Lodge in the Camporee Area. The
program will end around 6:30 p.m. after dinner on Friday at the Ranch
Headquarters area. Check out the council’s web site, by

of nature, camping, and self-reliance.
