Steve,
I'm not sure what Brownsea you are referring to. Camp Rodney, which
is operated by the Del-Mar-Va Council, has a Brownsea program for first
year scouts which is an excellent program. It is obviously named after
Brownsea Island where B-P took his first group of Scouts for training. T=
he
Camp Rodney program is fairly intensive, but not more than the 1st year
Scouts can take. All of the Scouts I have taken through the program have=
enjoyed it immensely. The boys do three things during their week at camp=
:
(i) they work on the basic requiremens of Tenderfoot, 2nd Class and 1st
Class, including Toten Chit and Fire'm Chit, (ii) they work on three Meri=
t
Badges, Swimming, Nature and Basketry, and (iv) they have a free period
each day in which they can visit other sites at the Camp, e.g., the
waterfront, archery, rifle range, swimming pool, etc. Of course they don=
't
complete all of the Tenderfoot, 2nd Class and 1st Class requirements, but=
they complete a reasonable number of them given the time constraints.
