Camp Use Policy Back to Top

Please READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Insurance: Unit accident insurance is required from all units. This is an excess benefits policy that works in conjunction with family medical insurance.  Local hospitals will require insurance company name, policy number, and expiration date in the event of an emergency.  Del-Mar-Va council is not responsible for medical expenses incurred while at camp. Do not send medical bills to the council or the camp.  Del-Mar-Va Council cannot complete the form or submit the claim for you.  Having bills sent to the office will not result in payment, and will cause delays in getting them paid.  If you have any questions regarding accident and sickness insurance, contact your insurance carrier or local council.

Age Limits: No children younger than Boy Scout age are to attend camp with a Troop unless they are Webelos attending a parent/son activity.  They will be sent home.  Youth members may only participate in age-appropriate activities. 

Cub Scout and Webelos Camping: Cub Scouts and Webelos may participate in Pack Family camping and Cub/Parent type weekends, and must have a parent or guardian in attendance at all times.   Cub Scout Packs must have at least one adult who has completed Cub Scout/Webelos outdoor training in attendance.  Webelos dens are encouraged to have several one or two-night camping experiences. At least one adult must have completed Webelos outdoor training. All Cub Scout and Webelos weekend camping activities should occur as parent/son activities. Outdoor tent camping is permitted for Cub Scouts and Webelos between April 15 and November 1 each year.

Two Deep Leadership is required on all trips and outings. At least 2 registered, trained, adults must attend with each unit. One of the adults must be at least 21 years of age. It is highly recommended that all adults in attendance complete the Youth Protection Training program at my.scouting.org. 

Separate facilities, i.e. a separate room or tent, are required for females participating in an overnight activity.  Leaders responsible for the group must be registered members of the BSA and remain with the unit the entire time the unit is in camp.

Vehicles: Depending on road conditions, at the discretion of the camp ranger, all service roads may be closed.  In the event of heavy snow or ice, the service roads may be closed.  In those cases, transporting equipment will have to be done by sled or other manual means.  If the roads are open, only ONE vehicle may remain at the site for emergency use.  The vehicle is not to be used for anything other than an emergency.  All other vehicles are to be parked in a designated parking area.  Trucks larger than a pick-up, including buses and RV's, are not allowed on the service roads.  All wheeled sleeping/camping type vehicles and trailers are restricted from use as housing at both camps.  No persons may be transported to any location in the vehicle other than where a seatbelt has been provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle.  This includes any type of wheeled vehicle or trailer.

Prohibited Items: The following items are prohibited in camp.  Violators will be asked to leave.
Alcoholic beverages, Firearms/Fireworks, Electric or Kerosene Heaters, Sheath Knives, Pets (other than service animals), Drugs (other than labeled prescription or non-prescription medications), and Chainsaws (permitted only with proof of BSA Chainsaw Safety training certificate).
