Project COPE
The Project C.O.P.E. course is geared toward older scouts in the troop, who have reached the time when advancement and other program features in camp are no longer as attractive and challenging. Scoutmasters should be selective of which boys they approve for the Project C.O.P.E. program. Project C.O.P.E. demands a certain amount of maturity and physical stamina of its participants. The camp and Project C.O.P.E. directors have the final approval on who will participate in the program. There is not an additional cost for Project C.O.P.E. participants.
It must be noted that due to the group dynamics involved in Project C.O.P.E. that a missed session cannot be made up. Therefore, missing camp for outside activities excludes the scout from participating in the activities of the session that is missed.
Further, there will be no outside observers allowed on the Project C.O.P.E. course at any time. Due to the safety aspect of conducting Project C.O.P.E. activities, the course is OFF LIMITS to any and all persons without the permission of the camp director. Anyone found trespassing on the Project C.O.P.E. course will be dismissed from camp. Project C.O.P.E. is limited to 12 scouts per week due to the 1:6 ratio of trained instructors to participants.
