Dowling – Basic Program
Each year the Dowling staff seek some “highlight” activity to offer for the season.
The basic program includes the following merit badges (and related First Class skills): Swimming, Lifesaving, Rowing, Canoeing, Small Boat Sailing, Motorboating, and Waterskiing.
The camp also offers Safety Afloat and Safe Swim Defense training, Snorkeling, and BSA Lifeguard.
In addition, the Carlsbad area has many program opportunities for troops to experience: The Living Desert Museum State Park, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Sitting Bulls Falls State Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, are just a few. The convenience of being in Carlsbad provides greater program opportunity to Scouts.
If your troop is traveling from another area, contact the council for recommended sightseeing opportunities of interest to Scouts.
Renovation Update
Phase One through Three plans are moving ahead to renovate the kitchen, enclose the interior walls of the dining area and dormitories, install air conditioning, and add windows to the dormitory areas. The plan is to have all improvements completed prior to the start of the next season.
Phase Four is the shower/toilet upgrade. It is uncertain if this phase will be completed prior to summer camp.
Also in the plans are the purchase of some manner of portable sleeping structures that can be air conditioned at night.
