Provisional Troop

Cherokee Scout Reservation offers a Provisional Troop for those boys who are attending summer camp for their second week or cannot attend camp with their unit. The Provisional Troop will operate each week of camp and will camp in Sioux campsite.  The program is limited to 30 scouts per week and requires a $50.00 deposit to reserve a space for each Scout, with all fees paid one week before the Scout attends camp. There is an additional $10.00 fee for participating in the Provisional Troop program.  The deposit should be paid to the Council Service Center once the boy decides to participate in the Provisional Troop. Scouts who are participating in the Provisional Troop should arrive at camp no later than 2:00 on Sunday for check-in. Scouts should report to the green tent next to the headquarters building to meet their provisional scoutmaster and campsite guide. Provisional scouts must have their completed medial form and scoutmaster-approved merit badge forms in order to check-in.  Sunday “walk-ons” will NOT be accepted.  TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROVISIONAL TROOP, A SCOUT MUST HAVE A SCOUTMASTER-SIGNED APPLICATION FORM, LOCATED IN THE APPENDIX OF THIS GUIDEBOOK.
