work hard, serve others, - - leave a legacy.

You are not registered until payment is received in full. Registration is to be done through the mail as described above, not to the Unit Commissioner, Booshway, Segundo or Porter! An acknowledgement of your registration will be emailed back to you indicating the receipt of your information.
Leadership Requirements Two-Deep Leadership, two registered adult leaders, or one adult and a parent of a participating Scout, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age or older, are required for all trips and outings. There should be a minimum of one adult for every five youth in attendance (always with a minimum of two, of course). Each participating Scout Unit should also have an appointed Team Captain who will be responsible for leading and coordinating all of his teams efforts. Information will be furnished to the Team Captains or squad leaders throughout the rendezvous for relaying to their teams. If a team has more than 6 youth, a team captain can lead one squad and a squad leader should lead the other. Adult leaders will be required to stand back and allow the Team Captains and squad leaders to carry out his duties and to run the Team and or squad, both at registration as well as during the activities. The Territorial Rendezvous staff will be available to answer questions at any time for Team Captains.
Paperwork Requirements Physical Forms There are new physical requirements per BSA. All BSA guidelines and forms will be strictly adhered to! This is a High Adventure activity and all coaches are required to have "evidence of fitness assured by a complete health history from physician and parent, or legal guardian" for every boy and leader. Use the Medical Record Class 3 form for all youth and adults. Also, as a reminder, this form is good for one year only. The Team Captain will present a completed form (or copies of ones) for each youth and adult leader at check-in that will be still valid as of the Rendezvous. These may be turned in at check in to speed up the registration process.
5 Tour Permits A tour permit is required. Bring this with you to the event.
Medical Consent information Each participating youth and adult must have a completed Medical Consent form even if the parent is in attendance. These forms ensure that prompt medical attention may be given in case of need. These forms along with the others required, will be presented at check-in by the team captain.
Preparing your Team There are several things that you can do as a team to prepare for this grand event. Those teams that come prepared tend to have the greatest success and the most fun. Here are some of the ways that teams can prepare ahead of time:
Team Leader Training This will allow your Team Captain and other team leaders to be ready to take full responsibility of leadership during the rendezvous. This is key to your teams success.
Study the Mountain Man or your other choice of Regalia This can be done by inviting a mountain man (or other) to your team meetings to show and discuss their stuff. Or perhaps you may want to visit a clan, do some reading, use the Frontiersman pamphlet or by any other means begin to understand what the mountain man was, how they dressed, and what they used in their day to day life.
Make Regalia Work as a team to make shirts, pants, moccasins, canteens, possible bags, medicine pouches, powder horns, knives, sheaths, scabbards, hawks, beads, stools or other mountain man gear. The regalia will give the team an opportunity to look sharp at the rendezvous. Although it is not necessary that patterns and colors of the regalia match, for the purpose of using the regalia as a uniform, it is necessary that all boys in a unit have the same items shirts, pants, capotes, and hats. Any "Early American" period clothing counts as regalia, such as capotes, drop sleeve shirts, frontier shirts, etc. can help to add to the experience and provide activities for the months prior to the rendezvous. Patterns are available in the "Frontiersman" Varsity activity book and in the resources rendezvous booklet. Regalia is the uniform for this activity. Points given for regalia are more heavily weighted as it represents your preparation for the rendezvous.
There will be a uniform (regalia) inspection station setup in the headquarters (primitive camp) area and team regalia photos will be taken there and throughout the activities of the Rendezvous. Each team is encouraged to present themselves at headquarters during the rendezvous activity time and have their uniforms or regalia scored. This activity will replace the uniform inspection process previously done by the team captains at flag ceremony. A portion of the points awarded for the Rendezvous activities will come from the regalia inspection. The inspection will look for head gear, outer ware, shirt, pant, foot ware and up to five accoutrements. A quality/effort factor will be applied to the teams score.
Make Trading Items Work as a team or in small groups to make mountain man items for the trading blanket. This will allow your team members to trade for other items that you may not have had time to make. Figure out what you are good at making and make several of them to trade. The higher the quality, the more value it has on the trading blanket.
Build Teamwork Work together to build teamwork within your team. Your success in the Booshway Bolt and many other rendezvous activities rely heavily on teamwork. Use C.O.P.E. exercises in your team program to accomplish this. TIP: Teamwork is highly valued at this event and will be taken into consideration when you are scored at each event.
Build a Service Attitude Instilling a general attitude of service and excellence in your team will help them to succeed. Look for opportunities at the rendezvous to go above and beyond what is expected. Plan to spend some time with the Order of the Arrow on our camp service projects. Service is strongly encouraged. 6 Vehicle Preparation Transportation for scout outings is very important. Being safe is of utmost importance. Please make sure there is adequate space for all passengers in the vehicles you will use for transportation to and from the rendezvous.
Personal/Team Camping Gear During October the weather can get rather chilly in the evening and during the night. Sometimes it will be close to freezing. You should come prepared with warm clothes that can be removed in layers as the day warms up. Also remember that if you do not bring a burn barrel for your fire you will not be able to have a fire in your camp for those chilly nights. Camp Raymond is approximately 6,700 above sea level.
Arrival and Setup Territorial Rendezvous Rules Boys or adults riding on bumpers, tailgates, hoods, fenders or trailers will NOT BE TOLERATED. This is a strict violation of BSA policy. This should not occur on any scout outing and the HQ staff may become particularly cantankerous if it occurs on this outing and may ask you and your team to leave the rendezvous. Rendezvous regalia should be worn during this activity and worn appropriately. A threetimesthree notification will designate an emergency. Assemble at your campsite and send buddy runners (2) to HQ for information or instructions. Each unit is required to have a properly stocked first aid kit and plan on treating minor injuries. Medical staff and facilities will be identified at the rendezvous site for any major problems encountered. Band-Aids, Pepto, Aspirin (and its many forms) should be supplied by you, not the medical staff, so be sure your First Aid kit is stocked appropriately and abundantly and that you are qualified to use it. After lights out time designated on the schedule of events, all teams should be in and remain in their campsites until reveille the next morning. HQ staff will be on patrol in the area at times during the night and any team member found out of camp will be escorted back to his campsite and the leader notified. If malicious mischief was involved, the team may be asked to leave the rendezvous immediately! Tents other than yours are off limits to rendezvous participants. Adult leaders and Team Captains will be responsible to instruct their team members regarding the off limits policy prior to attending, and will be held responsible for any unit member who violates the above stated rules. Other areas, such as the shooting areas, will be marked off by yellow tape. These areas must not be encroached upon or serious consequences could result. Crossing these lines will result in expulsion from the rendezvous. NO QUESTIONS ASKED AND NO EXCUSES ENTERTAINED. Scouts are expected to follow the Scout Oath and Law. Vandalism hurts us all and is against the law. Anyone caught destroying property will be expelled from the rendezvous and their names turned over to the proper authorities for prosecution. This includes plants and animals as well as structures. Possession of fireworks will result in immediate confiscation and notification of authorities. All firearms brought by participants must be turned into the Range Master during registration and will be made available for use during the activities as appropriate. No modern firearms permitted. Non-firing historical replicas will be permitted in camp once verified by the Range Master. Campsites are laid out and grouped by Patrol. Please be conservative in your camp setup so that all members of your campsite will have sufficient room to camp. All disputes regarding campsites will be arbitrated by your Unit Commissioner or assistant campsite leaders and their decisions are final.
Camp Site Assignment Campsites are set up and grouped by Patrols and any concerns regarding the assigned area should be taken to the Unit Commissioner or his assistant. Campsite assignments will be given at check in.
7 Parking Parking will be in the designated parking area. Please park with the front of the vehicle facing the entrance of the road. Also, each team will be given one access pass for one vehicle to be allowed into the camping area and one parking pass for one vehicle to be parked in the onsite parking area. The vehicle allowed into camp is for your equipment. Please plan ahead and know which vehicle will be unloading and which will be parking.
Trailers may be left in camp with proper approval.
Camp Location Camp Raymond is located 10 miles south of Parks, AZ. Take Interstate 40 west from Flagstaff. The Parks exit is 178 (about 20 miles).
Check In Registration check in at the Rendezvous will begin at 12 Noon on Wednesday at the event entrance. (See map at the end of this pamphlet.) There will be two lines:
1 - If you have pre-registered (meaning registered and paid), and there are no adjustments to be made, check in will consist of showing all medical/physical forms and picking up your event packet, filling out the vehicle identification forms and placing them in your vehicles.
2 - Should you need to make adjustments such as adding boys or leaders, you will need to take a bit longer so that money can be collected and additional forms and patches can be added to the packet.
If you arrive later than 6 PM on Wednesday you will need to find the scribe, Susan Lasley, as soon as possible. She will be found in primitive camp at the Four Needles Bead Store or in the health lodge. She will have your registration packet.
If you arrive after dark, please plan on camping in the parking lot. You will need to find Four Needles in the morning for your camp assignment and registration packet.
Meals No meals will be provided as part of the rendezvous.
Campsite Set up Period-type camping is the ideal. Campsites should be as authentic as possible. Teepees or Civil War-style tents are appropriate. Cooking with Dutch Ovens and skillets are acceptable. Any items which are not period artifacts should be covered with sail cloth-type of canvas or skins. Coolers should be covered or disguised as trunks, etc. If you plan on period camping you may be able to camp in the primitive camp if desired. You will need to indicate primitive camping on the registration form. If you do not select the primitive option, you will receive a regular campsite assignment at check in.
Campfires Low impact camping is leaving no trace of being there. One of the great dangers of holding this kind of event is wildfire. Each unit must bring a shovel and a 5-gallon bucket (to keep filled with water) for fire safety. Also, you must bring a burn barrel in which to build your fire or go without a fire. Do not use permanent fire rings. Only burn barrels may be used. There is only ONE campfire allowed per team. NO bonfires! Ashes from your campfire will have to be hauled out by your unit. You may want to bring a stove or charcoal for cooking. DO NOT plan on finding firewood at the campsite.
Latrines Pit privies will be available at the rendezvous site. You are required to use these facilities to preserve the sanitation during this large of a campout. Do not defecate anywhere but in the privies.
8 Garbage All garbage needs to be hauled out of your campsite by your unit. There is a roll-off container near the camp entrance. Be very conscious of our presence in the area and be protective of our right to use it. Please do your part to leave only footprints, and take only picturesand your garbage.
Water Raymond has drinking water spigots at various locations throughout the camp.
Activities Each Team, upon completion of check-in, will receive a card or "passport" with the different event areas listed. This passport is your admittance into the different program area activities. Scores will be kept on the passport and turned in as soon as your team is done with the Booshway Bolt on Saturday morning. Do not lose the card, only one will be issued per team!
TEAM CAPTAIN: Be sure that you get your score recorded by the outpost boss. Failure to do so will result in an awful score.
Trading Post / Traders Row There will be a trading post set up for your participation. The trading post will have a wide variety of mountain man items for trade or sale on the trading blanket. You should bring items to trade for items on the blanket. Handmade items trade better with the traders. Leave the fancy-schmancy pocket knives home. Find the resources and learn to make a new knife, a flute, a possibles bag, etc.
Service Outpost A service area will be setup and managed by the San Tan OA at the Headquarters outpost located in the primitive camp. Teams will be assigned to do service projects throughout the rendezvous in small groups rather than as one large group. Each team should check-in at the service outpost at their earliest convenience to receive a specific service assignment. Points are awarded for active participation in these projects and each team is required to participate in a minimum of one.
Booshway Bolt On Saturday one of the events on your passport will be the Booshway Bolt. This activity will incorporate many of the events you will have practiced and participated in while at the rendezvous. Each team should participate as a team in the Bolt. Each team will select a starting time at check in and should be at the starting line 10 minutes early. If you are not 10 minutes early, you may lose your position.
Dutch Oven Cook-Off In keeping with the tradition of Rendezvous, a cooking competition will be held on Friday evening at headquarters between 8:00 and 8:45 pm. Competing squads and teams should bring a serving of their appetizer, entre, dessert, breads and/or side dish to headquarters for judging. Awards will be given for this competition at Saturdays awards ceremony in all five categories previously mentioned. Participants may compete in any one or all of these categories. Participating in this event will not earn points towards the overall team score. Judges will be selected from our ever-hungry rendezvous staff. Sign up of your presentation time at will be at registration. Presentation of the meal by the scouts is important!
Cracker Barrel There will be a cracker barrel session at headquarters for all Team Captains and Coaches on Thursday & Friday evening at headquarters. Adult leaders should accompany their team captains and will be split off into a separate meeting during that time. It is very important that all Team Captains attend this session because important updates to schedules and activities, as well as other announcements will be relayed to them at that time. It is the Captains responsibility to communicate this information to their teams. Each team coach and captain needs to come prepared with paper and pencil so that notes can be taken.
9 Flag Ceremony There will be a camp wide flag ceremony on Thursday morning. All participants should be in attendance for this ceremony as the rendezvous events will be open immediately following the ceremony.
Friday Evening A rendezvous campfire is planned for Friday night. All Teams should be in attendance at this campfire. It will be an experience you won't want to miss. A campfire should be a fun time for all. But sometimes a few disruptive people can ruin it for all the others. Please remind your scouts to be respectful to those speaking and performing as well as to their fellow Scouts.
Honors Program Staff will look for individuals, squads and teams that exemplify the scout Oath and Law in deed and spirit. Top teams should be aware of those who need help around them and should take opportunities to assist where needed, even if they are not asked. Honors awards will be presented
Awards Program Each Team may earn recognition based on their performance. Awards & prizes will be based first on Team unity and Leadership, and then on performance at events throughout the weekend. Awards will be presented for overall distinction and for several individual events. In the event of ties, multiple awards will be given. There will also be special awards and prizes awarded for Top Overall Team and Dutch Oven Cookoff winners. Each participant and leader will receive a patch commemorating the work and fun had at this rendezvous. Additional memorabilia will be available to interested individuals at the trading blanket.
Campsite Clean-up Each unit needs to completely police their camping area before leaving. Clean up all trash (even old litter), replace ground cover, etc. Leave your camp site as undisturbed as possible. We are Scouts must practice Leave No Trace camping. The Team captains and adult leaders are responsible for seeing these rules are followed. The designated clean-up time is Saturday morning before and after your Teams participation of the Booshway Bolt. Your Unit Commissioner will check your campsite prior to your unit leaving or assign someone to inspect it before you leave. Please leave the campsites looking better than we found them.
Check-Out When a team is ready for site inspection they should contact their Unit Commissioner or Campsite director/Assistant Unit Commissioner (who should be in the campsite) and have them check the site for the team. In order to finish on time it is important that teams use slack time in-between close of outpost activities and closing ceremonies to clean up, pack up and be checked out. Any teams finishing early can check-in at headquarters to assist in taking down and packing up the base camp.
Closing Ceremony An event NOT to miss! Youve just spent 2 days perfecting your mountain man skills, went soaring through the Booshway Bolt, braved the heat and the freezing elements, and finally got that passport turned in. Youre tired, dirty, and your leaders want to hit the road. The Booshway is planning quite the show and many awards will be given out.
Vehicles As with arrival keep your vehicles completely off the road and next to your camp. When leaving please be considerate and use the golden rule. 10
