| What is the Kittatinny
Award ?
At Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation, the Order of the Arrow has a program
called the Kittatinny Award, used to help promote the summer camp's program.
The program is optional but available to all campers, both new and experienced,
as well as adults. The program is specifically designed but not limited
to the first year camper. The camper follows a program checklist in order
to complete the award. This can be done in their free time. If a
Scout
strives for this award, he will find himself in virtually all camp program
areas. Upon completion, the camper will receive a complimentary patch from
Kittatinny Lodge V. Most new campers also receive a "greenie" neckerchief
in a special new camper ceremony, on which stamps will be placed for each
element of the Kittatinny Award completed during his week at camp. Campers
normally embroider the stamps on the neckerchief before returning to
HMSR the next season.
