General Information:
Anyone participating in or attending this event will be expected to follow BSA National Guidelines
as outlined in the Guide to Safe Scouting.
The Law is the Rule: Everyone is expected to abide by the Boy Scout Oath and Law. Everyone must
stay away from UNAUTHORIZED AREAS during the event.
Buddy System: Everyone must use the Buddy System, pairs for safety. Unit Leaders or other adults
should be notified before scouts leave their campsites.
Arm Bands: Arm Bands will be issued to all paid participants and will be required to be worn to
participate in all activities.
Alcoholic Beverages: Possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages will not be tolerated, as it
is against BSA policy. Possession or consumption of alcohol is grounds for immediate dismissal from
the event.
Smoking: BSA guidelines require a smoke-free environment for our Scouts. If you must smoke,
please do so out of sight of youth participants and not inside any buildings. Please “field dress”
your butts and dispose of them properly, remembering the ever present danger of wild fires.
Vehicles: No vehicles will be allowed in camp except to drop gear or a trailer at your campsite. If
your unit does not have or use a trailer, you may have one gear vehicle per 16 people camping take
gear to your campsite. The speed on the camp entrance road is 15 MPH. Vehicles delivering
trailers and/or gear, please observe an 8 MPH limit. RVs, ATVs, and bicycles are NOT allowed on
camp. Only Staff vehicles and staff carts are permitted in the main camp area after 9:30 PM on
Friday evening. All other vehicles must be moved to designated parking areas by that time.
Parking: Park in designated parking areas only. Unit leaders need to help enforce this policy. We
need to preserve Rotary Scout Reservation as much as possible. The primary parking area will be
designated upon arrival.
Uniforms: Activity uniforms (also known as “Class B” uniforms, unit t-shirts, or other Scouting
appropriate attire) are permitted during the opening ceremonies and activity rotations. The field
uniform (also known as “Class A” uniform) should be worn at to the opening and closing campfire,
religious, and all flag ceremonies.
First Aid: You should have your own first aid kit in your campsite. Minor first aid should be handled
at the Campsite. The Upper Cabin will be manned during the day (9 AM to 6 PM) on Saturday.
Medical Emergencies should be directed through Headquarters at the Upper Cabin during other
hours.
Campsites: Follow BSA guidelines for camping. Walk, do not run, within your campsite. Remember
to be aware of tent stakes and tie downs. Do not ditch or trench your tent. Closed toed shoes must
be worn at all times. Leave no Trace. Trash your trash. It should be removed from all campsites.
Absolutely NO pets. Please make certain before leaving on Sunday that your campsite is
completely cleaned up and all campfires are completely extinguished. Campsites will be assigned
by camp staff prior to your arrival. It is unlikely that any Pack will have a campsite completely to
themselves. Make a new friend.
Account # 1-6801-439-20
Stoves and Lanterns: Follow BSA regulations for fuels. Keep open flames out of and at least 10
feet away from tents.
Campfires: All campfires in Troop campsites must be under the supervision of an adult. Do not cut
trees. Bring your own firewood or collect dead wood from downed trees and limbs. No pit/trench
fires are allowed; use on the fire rings provided or bring your own above ground fire bowl. Never
leave a campfire unattended, especially when going to bed. All campfires should be extinguished
according to BSA guidelines – cold to the touch. Please make certain before leaving on Sunday that
your campsite is completely cleaned up and all campfires are completely extinguished.
Chainsaws: No chainsaws are permitted.
Knives, Hatchets, Axes, and Saws: Folding or pocket knives are permitted by those Scouts that
have earned their Whittlin’ Chip or Totin’ Chip. No fixed blade, sheath or survival knives are
permitted. Hatchets, axes and bow saws are only permitted in the axe yards of Boy Scout Troops or
Venturing Crews.
Firearms: No firearms are permitted at Rotary during this event.
Rocks and Sticks: Although tempting, rocks must not be thrown or kicked and sticks must not be
swung. Injury/damage to property usually results from this action. Such actions will result in your
being asked to leave the event immediately.
Trash: Each Unit will be issued several trash bags and will be responsible for keeping their own
campsite area clean. Trash will be collected on Saturday night beginning around 10:30 PM. Please
place trash bags by your campsite entrance. If your trash is not ready to be collected at the
designated time, it must taken to the dining hall dumpster. No trash should remain in campsites
over night; there are a variety of critters (skunks, raccoons, opossums, etc) that will visit your unit
if this is not done.
Cleanup: When your Unit is ready to leave camp we ask that you please clean up your campsite
area and leave it the same as you found it, or better.
Fees: Youth event fee includes all event activities and supplies, event patch, and cracker barrel
Saturday night. Adult fee only includes the event patch. All meals are your responsibility if you are
camping. Concessions will NOT be available. Specific activities/events are subject to change
without notice. Flag ribbons will be issued to all participating units.
