Welcome to the "Friends
of HSR" website
 This
site is for anyone interested in running
a Troop camp at Haliburton
Scout Reserve -- the greatest
of all Scout Camps..
Whether
you're just thinking about camping with
your Troop
for the first time, or if you're a seasoned
veteran of many happy campfires on one
of the lakes, explore these pages for
new ideas.
.
What
we want to do
-
supplement
the official HSR site with even more
practical information for Scout Leaders
so you can run a successful Troop camp
-
provide ideas for that "other
75% of the time" when YOU are in
charge of the Troop -- for meals, accomodation
and
program activities
-
suggest how you can take advantage of
the 'semi-wilderness' experience that is
HSR for some real Adventures.
-
help you use the week at HSR to accomplish
many of the objectives of Scouting.
 At HSR you can accomplish
more with your Scouts in 1 week than in
years of meetings back at the group's
hall
-
Really implement
the Patrol System so the Scouts can learn
to make decisions, take responsibility
and
work
together.
-
Get to know your Scouts
as individuals, each with unique personalities,
strengths
and
weaknesses. Help them grow.
-
Build self confidence, self reliance,
as well as Patrol and Troop spirit.
-
Actually put some of those Scoutcraft
skills to use
Contributors

of experience
at HSR behind them (and hopefully many
more ahead!), and want to share their knowledge
with you.
