Tribe of the Lone Bear
Founded in 2000
Founded in 2000, the Tribe of Lone Bear is Ozark Trails Council’s older camper honor program for Camp Arrowhead. It was founded in 2000. More than 1,300 Scouts and Scouters are involved in the program, and it continues to grow each summer.
Designed for the older Scout, The Tribe of Lone Bear gets them involved and excited about attending summer camp, helping in their troops, and serving on camp staff. It also builds anticipation and excitement in younger Scouts as they watch older Scouts become more involved and active in the Tribe.
Purpose
The Tribe of Lone Bear is a leadership enhancement program that helps the Ozark Trails Council fulfill its mission of preparing young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by strengthening their understanding of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. It provides recognition to Scouts who have demonstrated their devotion to Scouting and challenges them to take actions that show their commitment to the Scout Oath and Law.
The Tribe of Lone Bear is a program for Scouts that is guided and inspired by adults. Adult leaders serve as leaders and mentors to encourage the Scouts to use those ethical principles in their everyday lives.
