Summer Camp - Trail To Eagle Information

[Karen BIANCHI]

I have received a few questions regarding the "Trail to Eagle" program at TMR Summer Camp.  I am sharing what I learned below and will reach out to TMR staff as add'l questions come up.

(1) You MUST enroll in the Trail To Eagle program to take the merit badges offered (i.e....if you are not enrolling in the Trail to Eagle program, you cannot take the classes offered in that section).  It appears that you can take other badges as well throughout the day. 

(2) In order to participate in the Trail to Eagle program, there is an add'l $15 fee ($455 total fee) and you MUST be a First Class Scout, at least 13 years old or have completed the 7th grade, with a leadership position in the troop.  

If you are interested, please see me next week at scouts and we can discuss the opportunity.

FROM TMR:

Our newest and quite popular program area, Trail to Eagle, offers scouts who are registered for this specialty camp many programs and merit badges relevant to future Eagle scouts area. Extra programs include the ability to participate in mock boards of review and in-depth discussions on Eagle projects.  Support After Camp: Some merit badges have prerequisites and cannot be completed at camp. After returning home from camp, when a Scout who participated in Trail to Eagle completes a requirement, they can attach the required documentation and email it to ketrail...@tenmileriver.org. Once we receive their requirements and conference with the scout, we will issue them a “complete” for the badge, allowing them to download their blue card from our online camp management system. This will aid Scouts on their “Trail to Eagle” without having to find a qualified merit badge counselor in their area.

Thank You,

Karen Bianchi
