Older Scout Programs
Camp Bud Schiele and the Council Camping Committee are working diligently to provide a quality program for all scouts. Especially, our older scouts that have attended camp for 3 years or more. This year, our staff and volunteers will be bringing new merit badges to our older scouts that provide trade skills knowledge. There is nothing more rewarded than introducing trades and helping scouts discover a skill set that can help them find their calling.
- Electricity
- Plumbing
- Welding
- Aviation
- Metalwok w/Blacksmithing
- Advanced Shotgun
Another older scout program instills a greater knowledge of shooting sports. If scouts have already taken the shotgun merit badge, Advanced Shotgun might be of interest. Scouts will hone their skills and learn how to do skeet shooting and trap shooting. Class-(45 minutes) Start out with a safety briefing and reminders of the NRA safety rules. And a briefing of how the course works.- 1st Phase- Youth will Shoot real true trap- from 5 positions, and clays (targets) are either going left right or straight. The machine is set to wobble. 1st Phase each youth will shoot a round of 25 clays twice.

- 3rd Phase- Youth will participate in shooting games like “Golf” team with lowest number of misses wins, and other variations of shooting games, etc.
- Maximum Number of Scouts for class is dependent on number of Instructors available.
