Encompass

Something For Everyone

  • Wood Badge for adults
  • NYLT for boys age 12-14
  • Kodiak for young adults (male and female) age 15-18 years
  • Family Camp for spouses and children (ages 18 months-18 years) of Wood Badge participants

Purpose

ENCOMPASS provides training opportunities as you share camping experiences with your family. All four programs have a different time schedule, with limited family time. This unique program is designed around the advanced leadership programs of Wood Badge, National Youth Leadership Training and Kodiak. While mom or dad attends Wood Badge, Scout age boys have the opportunity to attend NYLT (Summit) and teens ages 15-18 may attend Kodiak, while the rest of the family enjoys a fun filled program for their age group. The entire family catches the Scouting spirit and reconnects with nature. It is very common to hear a youngster tell mom or dad “this is better than Disneyland!”
