Flag Ceremonies
Every morning at 7:45 am and every evening at 5:45 pm the camp holds
a flag ceremony in the council campfire ring. Troops are encouraged to take part and share in this ceremony. Troops will have the chance
to serve as color guard. At these assemblies special news is also presented to all in camp.
Rest
Sleep can make the difference between a great or a poor week. Each
person needs a certain number of hours of sleep each week. Scoutmasters
should see that the camp is quiet from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am to permit
those who wish to sleep a chance to do so.
Uniforming
Why do the Boy Scouts have a uniform? For the same reason that the Indians who used to live in our area wore similar clothing and for the same reason a football or baseball team wear a uniform: because a uniform gives a standard to be met, promotes group spirit, and designates
equality from the start among members within the group.
At camp the official Scout uniform is appropriate dress at anytime during the week. We encourage units to wear their uniforms during chapel services and request all Scouts to be in full uniform for the evening meals and evening flag retreats.

About Our Camp
The Maumee Scout Reservation has been open since 1972 for Long Term Summer Camp.
It consists of 605 acres in the Northwest corner of Jackson County in the middle of the Hoosier National Forest. The camp has a fifty
six (56) acre lake that on a clear day you can see it's bottom. The fishing is great. There are eleven (11) campsites, and 2 cabins that can be used year round. The camp is capable of supporting 200 campers a week.
The Eagle Quest Program is for Scouts who want to work on Tenderfoot,
Second Class & First Class requirements. Scoutmasters are invited to help us.
New Scouts can get the one-on-one help they need to learn those difficult Knots, Compass Techniques and other basic Scoutcraft Skills.

The good old reliable "hands-on-approach" will be taken in merit badge
and skill instruction in all areas. We know that "Company's Comin" and we assure you that we will "Do our Best" to offer your Scouts
an exciting and challenging Summer Camp Program.
