AdvanceCamp 2010 will be our 11^th year offering an event where registered scouts from all over Northern California can come to work on rank advancement and merit badges. "This year we will be offering the 4 historic merit badges. These badges can be started at any scouting event but must be completed before 12/31/10. AdvanceCamp will be offering more trailhead and merit badges than we have in the past so scouts who have been with us for years will have new opportunities for advancement. Your AdvanceCamp Board of Directors are hard at work planning and preparing for this years celebration event. Join us in the most exciting AdvanceCamp ever September 24-25, 2010." Steve Hoagland Executive Director Make your plans early to attend this fun-filled advancement opportunity at The Antioch Fair Grounds, during the weekend of September 24 - 25, 2010. It is the desire of AdvanceCamp staff that scouts have fun while earning advancement. This year we will offer 50 merit badges and most trailhead rank advancements are offered at camp. Art, leatherwork, and a few other merit badges will carry an additional fee of $10 to cover purchases of the supplies (see registration forms for more details). - AdvanceCamp provides scouts with the opportunity to complete advancements begun at another scout event, - To start and complete advancement with the completion of all requirements during the camp, or -To begin work on and make a contact with a counselor to complete a merit badge at a later time.
