Backcountry Guide –A Staff member will be assigned to your troop for the week. They are there to help you with any questions and getting settled into camp.

Campsite – Our campsites come ready with tents, cots, running water, and Kybos. The tents are setup in a patrol system and hold two campers each. Once you have reached your campsite unload all of your gear to the side of the road. Drivers, please stay with the vehicle. As soon as a vehicle is unloaded your backcountry guide will give you directions to park in the Indian Rock Parking Lot.

Medical and Swim Checks – Once you have moved into your campsite your backcountry guide will take you to the pool for a medical and swim check. Please have all of your scouts and leaders in swim suits at this time. (Closed toe shoes are required in camp at all times) Please bring all of your medical forms with you. *Anyone planning on getting in the pool or lake at any point throughout the week must do a swim check.

Tour – Scouts and leaders will receive a brief tour of the main areas of camp. (Dining Hall, Trading Post, Silva Lodge, etc…) Silva Lodge – Once your tour has reached Silva Lodge your unit leader will check-in with the Camp Director to go over your troop roster, forms, and any unpaid balances. During this time your Backcountry Guide will direct the rest of your troop back to camp to finish moving in.

Rugged Overnighters (Rugged Os) are a Mataguay tradition and a great way to get out and explore the camp on Wednesday night. While some merit badges require attendance at a Rugged O to complete certain requirements, all of the programs are open to any Scout who wishes to participate. It is suggested that Scouts bring a Day-Pack, sleeping bag, and ground cover for their participation in the Rugged O, in addition to the Ten Essentials.

Scouts must bring a blue card on the first day of class for each merit badge they plan to work on. Unit leaders will receive the filled out blue card at the end of the week.
