Our handicraft area has been the most mobile of our program areas. It has been in a number of locations. This year, as last, it will be in Ivey Lodge.
Scouts can accomplish much here if they give a couple hours a day.
This year we are trying something new. The leatherwork and the basketry merit badges will be taught similtaneously. If the scout does all the requirements through the week, they will earn two badges during that 5 day time slot. Third in command in 2000, Aaron Thompson, will be back as Brian's second, with a new face, Dan Petersen rounding out the staff. Besides for leatherwork and basketry, handicraft teaches Indian Lore, Metalwork, Art, Woodcarving, and Journalism.
