Well I have been on the staff at Medicine Mtn. for the past five summers and can tell you a lot about those programs. Our trail to first class program is excellent. As a part of the program the scouts earn the first aid merit badge as well as many rank requirements. Our merit badge program is an open program that allows scouts to work on their own pace. A highly motivated scout that does some wok before camp starts could earn up to 12 merit badges. We do partol cooking so how good the food is is really up to you. The indgrediants(sp?) we provide are high quality and there is always extra to go
