BSA Camp layouts of camp sites

[T&S]

I have been tring to find a drawing or something that is readable of camp davy crockett camping area and site.Everything that I have find has been unreadable. I have ran to this problem before with other camping areas. Is there a site that has this type of information on all the bsa camping areas?

Everything that I have find has been unreadable.

This post is unreadable.

What level of detail do you want?

 

Have you tried google maps?

Have you tried contacting the Sequoyah Council directly? They probably have a map they can fax or e-mail you.

It sure would be nice to be able to go to just one site. That would have the layout of each camping area, which could be used to show the scouts. Of a camps general layout of its area. I dont understand why each Council has not done this.

[shortridge]

Many councils do indeed post maps of their camps. There are two maps of my local camp on my council's website, a trail/outpost map and a map of the main camp.

 

Because camps are run by local councils, not National, and because of the steady, constant changes inherent in running a camp (campsites getting new names, new trails being blazed, new buildings being built), any national website or "database" would be outdated almost instantaneously.

 

Just give your council a call and suggest that they put a map up online for those units that haven't gone there before. It's a simple enough thing to do.

Yes it is true that many councils do indeed post maps of their camps. An many of them try very hard to so. But from what I have came across so many of them are just unreadable. To be helpful to new scouts that may visit a camp, a general readable map would be helpful. You would not have to have every new trail, or building listed just the main buildings and main trails would be a big help. I just try to give my scouts as much information that I can so that the scouts can make informed thoughtful decisions. But some times a simple enough thing is hard to do.

have you chekced the leader's guide for your camp's summer program? Very easy to read maps are usually provided in the guide.

[T&S]

Eagle92 the boys are trying to decide where they would like to go next year. So at this time I dont have a leader's guide for any summer camps program. That why I am looking for the information. I am most grateful for yours and the other replies to my question. Thanks

T,

have your scouts google the camp name in quotation marks and leader's guide. I.e.

 

"camp davy crockett" and Leaders' guide

 

 

or give them this link to the 2010 leaders guide, map on page 30.

edited: when I did the searrhc I described, ti took me to the council;'s website. Looking under cmaping i found the old leaders's guide. Most council's will leave the old guide up as a reference until the new one is up. 2010 may not be 100% accurate as changes do occur in programming, but I bet it's 98% accurate.(This message has been edited by Eagle92)
