Camp Use Policy Back to Top

All Camping rentals must have at least two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over. There must be a registered female adult leader 21 years of age or over in every unit serving females. If a link male and female troop are camping at the same camp, they each need their two-deep registered leader.

All adults staying overnight in connection with a Scouting activity must be currently registered as an adult volunteer or an adult program participant. Adult volunteers must register in the position(s) they are serving in. Registration only as a merit badge counselor position does not meet this requirement. All Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters need to have Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) to be considered Trained to their position. See FAQ for list of approved adult registration fee required positions. (Exceptions for Cub Scout Programs)

Overnight Tenting:

Scouts BSA/Crews/Ships/Posts

Separate tenting arrangements must be provided for male and female adults as well as for male and female youth.

Youth and adults must tent separately, this includes parents/guardians and their children.

Youth sharing tents must be no more than two years apart in age.

In Cub Scouting, parents and guardians may share a tent with their family.

(Cub Scout Exception – Cub Scout parents or legal guardians taking part in an overnight Cub Scout program with their own child or legal ward are not required to register as leaders. All adults must review the “How to Protect your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide” that can be found in the front of each Cub Scout Handbook. In addition, the parent or legal guardian must be accompanied by a registered leader at any time they are with youth members other than their own child/ward.  All other overnight adults must be currently registered in an adult fee required position.)

Cub Scout unit-coordinated campout must have at least one registered adult leader trained in Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO). Pack camping is a family-centric program. Cub Scout youth should attend the camping event with their parent(s) or guardian(s).

Only Webelos and Arrow of Light dens may conduct den campouts, and those campouts can only include the Webelos or Arrow of Light youth. Webelos and Arrow of Light dens may participate and camp at a Scouts BSA troop unit campout; however, all Cub Scout camping and YPT requirements still apply, including having a BALOO-trained adult leader in attendance.
