Non-Competitive Awards

Achievement and cooperation based upon altruism, should be the underlying principles in determining the giving of emblems and awards.  To give every boy an opportunity to do his best to measure up to the camp standard, is the thing desired in the awarding of emblems.  Non-competitive tests are being recognized as the best lever of uplift and the most effective spur in arousing the latent ability of boys.  The desire to down the other fellow is the reason for much of the prevailing demoralization of athletics and competitive games.  Prizes should not be confused with “honors.”  An honor emblem should be representative of the best gift the camp can bestow and the recipient should be made to feel its worth.  The emblem cannot be bought, it must be won.

Dudley Plan

Camp Dudley has the distinction of introducing the honor system in boys’ camps.  Boys pass tests which include rowing, swimming, athletics, mountain climbing, nature study, carpenter work, manual labor, participation in entertainments, “unknown” point (unknown to the camp, given secretly to the boy) and securing the approval of the leaders, in order to win the “C D.”  After winning this emblem, the boys try to win the camp pennant, the tests for which are graded higher.
