Camp Use Policy Back to Top

General Rules:

  • Follow the Scout Oath and Law and obey all BSA, Youth Protection, and Guide to Safe Scouting policies (including BALOO and IOLS trained leaders)
  • Please leave your “campsite” better than you found it. Examples include:
    • No writing or carving on the walls, buildings or trees.
    • No chopping standing trees or chopping wood in the buildings. Please utilize the ax yard and follow BSA safety rules.
    • No hanging clothes from stove pipes or stoves as this is a fire hazard.
    • Clean out ashes from stoves and fireplaces when you first come to camp.
    • Please report any damaged equipment to the Council Service Center.
    • Units will be expected to be conservative in their use of firewood.
  • No alcoholic beverages, tobacco, firearms or explosives are allowed on BSA property.
  • No electric or kerosene heaters inside any buildings.
  • Units should plan to pack in toilet paper and hand sanitizer to be used in the latrines at either camp during the off-season.
  • Units must bring in their own potable water. Neither camp guarantees safe drinking water at the facility.
