Covid-19 Office Procedures – Green Phase Opening

Dear Volunteers and Supporters,

As we move into the green phase under the Gov. Wolf’s reopening plan for Pennsylvania in Schuylkill County, our goal is to provide the safest working environment as we continue to reopen our council. This will be a group effort and all employees and volunteers will need to help maintain these standards.

The National BSA has provided some initial guidance on preparing our units to begin reopening. The SAFE Restart Scouting Checklist is an important document that every unit should read. SAFE stands for Supervision, Assessment, Fitness and Skill, and Equipment and Environment. Please Click to review this document.

As you are aware, we opened the office on June 8, 2020. Our office will be open from 9 AM to 5 PM and the Scout Shop will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Please note these hours are different from our normal operating hours prior to Covid-19 and we will continue to monitor our business operations during the green phase. [Read more…]

Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation Summer Camp Update

Dear Scouting family,

First and foremost, we hope this email finds you and your family well. It goes without saying that we are living through unprecedented and concerning times.

As always, your safety and the safety of all our members, volunteers, and employees is the Hawk Mountain Council’s top priority. As such, we have taken a careful and informed approach in evaluating whether to offer our resident summer camp and day camps this year. Since the spread of COVID-19, we have continued to monitor the situation, consult with health experts, government officials, and other camping professionals.

It is with a heavy heart that after a thorough review, the Hawk Mountain Council Executive Committee has decided to suspend all resident camp and day camp programs at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation for the 2020 summer season. We know camp is an important part of every Scout’s summer, and this decision was not made lightly.
