Tufts University selected Cub Scout Pack 155 to be part of their study, the Tuft’s Character and Merit Project, also known as CAMP!. Those performing the study are from the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
The CAMP study explores the impact of youth programs on the academic and personal development of boys. Tufts partnered with the Cradle of Liberty Council and other organizations in the Philadelphia area to evaluate the impact of youth programs on the character, moral and civic development of boys.
They will be collecting data three to four times over the next two years. During each time of collection, Scouts will complete a short questionnaire that should take 20 minutes at most. Parents will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire. After each time point, Scouts will receive a $20 gift card for their participation which will be mailed to Pack Leaders to distribute.
Below you will find the attached permission form. We have had several parents sign off already but there are still several others who may wish to participate. On Monday May 6th we will provide those who did not yet fill out the permission for a chance to do so. Then we will be administering the study either the same night or the following week. Please we need parents to also fill out the questionnaires so please be sure to stick around.
There is also additional information about the study on the attached form.
