Advanced Camping Experts (ACES)

Campfire USA Sunshine Council developed the Advanced Camping Experts (ACES) program over 20 years ago. The ACES program teaches leadership, decision-making, teamwork, self-reliance skills using outdoor education as a medium. Council-held training, basic-to-advanced outdoor-living skills, community and council service hours, and various leadership roles prepare the teens to attend Primitive Camp. The “Red Shirt” is awarded at the successful completion of Primitive Camp. After three years of training this is one of the highest honors a Sunshine Council teen may earn. ACES is available to teens sixth grade and above. Sonny Earned his "RED SHIRT."
