Troop Time Activities

This kinda-sorta replaces last year's "Open Areas" time block. Except it's Open Areas on steroids. Time periods for Troop Time are 3:00-4:00pm Mon-Thurs, and 7:00-8:00pm Mon-Wed. From the Camp Leader Guide:

New this year is the Troop Time program. Troop Time allows your Senior Patrol Leader to schedule 7 one hour blocks of troop program time. Troop Time activities are generally not merit badge oriented, they are designed to foster camp exploration and to interject fun and adventure into camp. There are advancement opportunities available including some simple merit badges or rank advancement during Troop Time but that is not the primary intent. Troop Time will be schedule during the daily Senior Patrol Leader Meeting at 12:45, (Monday Troop time will be scheduled by the Scoutmaster during the 9:30 Adult Leader Meeting). Scoutmasters should counsel their SPL to schedule the right activity for their troop at the appropriate time.

Rather than rewrite all of the offered activities, see this page from the Camp Leader Guide.
