How many of your camps have an international scout as a summer staff member. Last year we had a scout from Taiwan and this year from the Ukraine Both Female.

The last time I went to camp there was a Ukrainian girl running the Archery Range.

We've had them at Camp Tri-Mount for as long as I can remember. Gives the Scouts a great chance to get most (or all) of Cit. World finished. We have 2 coming in this year.

Cleveland Council had a young lady from Korea (maybe Taiwan) on staff last year.

Rodney SC has 4 Russian Girls on their staff in the Dining Hall. Cit in the World MB is not why the scouts visit the Dining Hall.

Yes. they also had scouts from Australia and Belize on their Aquatics staffs. The Belize scout is one of 7 in the country who has earned the Queens award - which is their program's highest award. One of the requirements he told us was a 6 day 5 night Wilderness survival trip with only a knife, map and compass and bottle of water. If this was a BSA requirement for Eagle, what do you think the number of completions would be?

We had a girl from Taiwan last year and their wilderness survival was the same as above and was Required for, I believe they use, Eagle. Lets start a petition to model our wilderness after this and make it required. That will weed out your 12 year old Eagles ROTFLMAO
