Wrangler Program
Tenderfoot to First Class
The advancement of a boy is the
responsibility of the troop. Camp Maluhia staff is
prepared to offer activities for different scouting skills, outdoor
opportunities, activities,
and skills, and learning, fellowship, and fun. Boy Scout Advancement policies
suggest
your unit should then be prepared to follow through with the boy on the
completion of
his requirements.
The advancement of the Scouts
in units is an important result of the outdoor experience.
It is a measure of a boy’s ability to do things, to get results, and to
persevere toward and
attain a personal goal. It should be remembered that advancement is not an end
in itself – it is a direct result of what naturally happens at camp.
The camp staff will be
available to assist campers in the wrangler program by
instructing specific activities required for rank advancement of the scout, tenderfoot,
second class, and first class ranks as well as for several merit badges. Scouts and
leaders
should encourage and participate in these activities that stress basic
Scouting skills.

Kiawi Rangers
Older
boy program for First Class Scouts and above
The
purpose of this program is to provide challenging activities for older scouts
who
have had previous years of camping experience. The program is designed for scouts
who seek a greater adventure at Camp Maluhia.
Activities
will include skills outlined in the BSA ranger guidebook for Venture's. The
Venturing Program is unique from the Boy Scout program.
Venture's don’t just learn
outdoor skills, they become proficient in them.
The program will take over a year to
complete. We have designed our camp
program to introduce Scouts to the BSA
Ranger program. The Kiawi rangers will get
a taste of the outdoor portions of the
program. The program is flexible depending on the needs/wants of the boys
attending that week.
Activities will coincide with the hours
of the merit badge class schedule.
Arrangements to take other merit badges (other than the ones provided for by
the
Kiawi rangers) must be made by the Scout with the merit badge counselors when
they come to camp.
