Program Shelters
Previous ] Home ] Next ]

Years ago, each program shelter served several neighboring campsites.  The program shelters in use today are dedicated to specific purposes and used by all scouts.

Dan Beard Area

Dan Beard Area

The Dan Beard shelter is used for nothing else but the Dan Beard program.  Here they cover selected Second Class and First Class requirements.  The tents are for camping demonstrations.  You can also see cooking and lashing demonstrations as well.  There is no longer a permanent shelter.  I understand it was torn down in 2000 and will be rebuilt soon. The brown wall tent in the right photo is set up on the concrete floor of the original shelter.

James E West

Teddy Roosevelt

The James E. West shelter was reconstructed in 1998 on the same site as the original.  It is now being used as the Nature center. Here is the field next to Teddy Roosevelt.  You can see the Hawk Throw sign as part of the Mountain Man theme.
Otter Shelter

You can barely make out the lettering on the roof of the Otter Shelter.  This is the headquarters for Wilderness Survival.
