Free In Council Camping for Units

Beginning January 1, 2022 the council program service fee will make the following free for GTBAC units at council camps:

  • Campsites (primitive, improved and Adirondacks)
  • Camp Shelters/pavilions
  • Council Rings

Deposits Now Required

Deposit are now needed for in-council camp reservations.  This past year has seen a substantial increase in the number of units booking facilities and then no show / no call.  This prevents other units from camping.  A $50 deposit per facility is required at the time of booking.  If the unit arrives and there are no damages, then it will be refunded within 3 weeks of the camping departure date. 

Camping Reservation Policies

  • With the introduction of the online reservation system full payment is now due at time of booking. 
  • In order to allow the most Scouts to enjoy our facilities: if a unit books multiple sites, we reserve the right to consolidate them into  site or to move them to a different site of an appropriate size for the group.  We will make every effort to contact them about this.

Camp Policies

  • Boy Scouts Camps are Private Camps
    The ranger has the right to stop any activity and remove anyone from camp.

  • No Personal Vehicles on Camp
    Personal golf carts, Utility Vehicles and ATVs are prohibited on camp property unless authorized in advance.

  • No Firearms Allowed
    Outside firearms are prohibited unless law enforcement.  No concealed firearms are allowed on camp. 

  • No Alcohol or illegal Drugs
    If Alcohol or illegal drugs are found Those parties will be asked to leave and the authorities may be notified. 

  • No Pets Allowed - Except Service Animals
    “Service Animal” means any ADA recognized animal that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. Pets providing emotional support, wellbeing, or comfort companionship are not recognized service animals under ADA regulations. Misrepresenting an animal as a service animal is a violation of Florida State Statute.

  • Liability Waivers are required for certain activities at camp properties.  Links are emailed when reservations are made.  

 

Program Areas Reservation Policies 

All reservations for program areas: Shooting ranges, climbing or aquatics are for the facilities only and must be made 28 days in advance.  Your unit must provide the appropriate volunteers with credentials to the camp master or ranger to be given access to the facilities.  The Greater Tampa Bay Area Council will not be able to provide individual units with staff for program areas.  We are moving our efforts to providing instruction for unit volunteers to empower the units to be able to open these facilities.  Having more trained volunteers will give your unit more freedom and will be beneficial to all of the Scouts in our area.

Non-scout groups looking to reserve facilities should contact Matthew Hall at Matthew.Hall@scouting.org to get pricing and availability.
