Camp Three Point

Camp Three Point is named after the three points of the wikipedia:Scout Promise and is the first of the three camps to be founded. Originally the Reservation started on Tim O'Neil field and then moved to the old orchard, which is now the Ranger lot. In 1923 all summer camps were started at campsites Tuocs and Oak Ridge. The Reservation officially divided into Upper Camp and Lower Camp in 1924; the Upper Camp being Tim O'Neil Field and Lower Camp, Three Point. It was also in 1924 when the Reservation's second dining hall, Bucklin Lodge (now Sharpe Lodge) was constructed. Hence, Three Point's moniker as "The Oldest and Most Tradition-Filled Camp".

Today, Camp Three Point encompasses the Challenge Center, the Bucklin Memorial Building, the Arthur Livingston Kelly Environmental Education Center, the Three Point Waterfront, New Frontier Center, and The 407 Outfitters, the Reservation's largest trading post. It also is the home to the Memorial Bell Tower which tolls daily at 12 P.M. in honor of those Scouts who died serving God and country.

Camp Three Point's color is green, usually of a dark hunter green character. Its mascot is Danny the Deer who "just hangs around" in the Reservation's oldest dining hall, Sharpe Lodge, which was built in 1924.

Song and Cheer

Notes

The song/cheer are started with what's known as 'getting the tune', elongating the "We're" until a crescendo. The rest of the song follows with clapping at a very fast tempo. The two are almost always sung together with the cheer following the song.
