LIVING QUARTERS: All scouts and adult leaders will occupy the Scout Barracks, a two-story building containing dormitory - type sleeping quarters, (boys upstairs / adults downstairs) dining hall, kitchen, lavatory, showers and first aid room. An automatic washer and dryer (for uniform only) are available for use in the barracks (to be operated by the adults only). The barracks is located directly north of Fort Mackinac.

 

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: The barracks grounds include a baseball diamond and horseshoe court. Volleyball, badminton, basketball, hiking, tennis and bicycling are also available. Swimming may be available at the Grand Hotel outdoor pool; however, scouts may be charged $5 each per visit by the hotel. No fishing, swimming or wading is allowed by scouts in any waters surrounding Mackinac Island. Time will be available for homework (if we get a week where it is needed), rank advancement and merit badge work. The Historic Trials Award can also be earned during the week.

 

MACKINAC ISLAND VILLAGE: Scouts will not be allowed in the village after 6:00PM. All visits to the village will be done as a group w/adult leader present. All scouts MUST be in full uniform.
