Short Term & Weekend Camping Procedures


The Bay-Lakes Council, Boy Scouts of America needs your help in following the procedures listed below.

Two-deep Leadership

Two registered adult leaders or one registered leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings. The Chartered Organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities.

For Cub Scout Outings: At least one adult must have completed BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation). A minimum of one adult is required to be Youth Protection Trained. It only takes a couple of minutes to become Youth Protection Trained. Go to www.My.Scouting.org, log in or create an account. On the homepage, scroll down to see and click the Take Youth Protection Training Button.

For Co-ed Outings: Appropriate adult leadership must be present for all overnight Scouting activities; even those including parent and child, require male and female adult leaders, both of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and one of whom must be a registered member of the BSA. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities.


Respect of Privacy


Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp, and intrude only to the extent that health and safety requires. Adults must protect their privacy in similar situations.


Single-room or dormitory type accommodations for Scouting Units

  • Adults must establish separation barriers or privacy zones such as a temporary blanket or sheet walls in order to keep their sleeping area and dressing area separated from the youth.
  • Male and female leaders require separate sleeping facilities. Married couples may share the same quarters if appropriate facilities are available.
  • Male and female youth participants will not share the same sleeping facility.
  • When staying in tents, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other than his/hers parent or guardian.

 

Buddy System

The buddy system is required for all aquatic activities and strongly encouraged for all camp outings. Assign a buddy to each person for the duration of the stay. Be sure all travel in and around the camp is in groups of two or more.

Drug, Alcohol, Tobacco Use and Abuse

The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances at encampments or activities on property owned and/or operated by the Bay-Lakes Council, Boy Scouts of America, or at any activity involving participation of youth members.


Adult leaders should support the attitude that young adults are better off without tobacco and may not allow the use of tobacco products at any BSA activity involving youth participants. All Scouting functions, meetings, and activities should be conducted on a smoke-free basis, with smoking areas located away from all participants (see the Camp Ranger or Campmaster for designated smoking areas in camp.) All Council owned facilities are smoke free environments, including e-cigarettes.

First Aid

It is important that one person in each group be trained in the principles of first aid and CPR, and know how and when to put this knowledge to the best use. They should have a thorough understanding of the limitations of this knowledge. In addition, each group should have a first aid kit in their possession at all times.

Reporting Injuries

For any and all types of injuries, reporting them to the Camp Ranger or Campmaster is required. Each camp has a health log that is to be used when an injury occurs. Health logs are available through the Camp Ranger or Campmaster, who is responsible for recording any accidents.

Annual Health and Medical Records

Each BSA camper is required to have a health history on file with the Unit leader. This includes parents and non-Scouts who may be in camp with a Unit. These forms are available at the Bay-Lakes Council, Center for Scouting or the Council website: www.baylakesbsa.org. Click on the Resources tab and then click the Forms & Resources menu.

Liquid Fuels

Knowledgeable adult supervision must be provided when Scouts are involved in the storage and handling of liquid fuels. The filling of stoves or lanterns must be done by adults. The use of liquid fuels for starting any type of fire is prohibited. Only flashlights and electric lanterns are permitted in tents. “No flames in tents” is a rule that must be enforced. Obey all fire laws, ordinances and regulations. The Camp Ranger or Campmaster can give you the most current guidelines on these topics.

Fireworks

The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the securing, use and display of fireworks in conjunction with programs and activities on or off Council properties.

Guns and Firearms

Except for law enforcement officers required to carry firearms within their jurisdiction, firearms shall not be brought on camping, hiking, backpacking, or other Scouting activities except those specifically planned for target shooting under the supervision of a certified BSA or National Rifle Association firearms instructor.

Unauthorized and Restricted Activities

The following activities have been declared unauthorized and restricted by the Boy Scouts of America:

  • All-Terrain Vehicles
  • Fireworks
  • Motorized go-carts and motorbike activities for Cub Scout and Scouts BSA programs

Camping Guidelines

Family Camping: Family camping is an outdoor experience, other than resident camping, that involves Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, or Venturing program elements in an overnight setting with two or more family members, including at least one registered BSA member of that family. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children and Youth Protection guidelines apply.

Recreational Family Camping: When Scouting family’s camp, as a family Unit, outside of an organized program. It is a non-structured camping experience, but is conducted within a Scouting framework on local Council-owned property.

Cub Scout Pack Overnighters: These are Pack organized events involving more than one family from a single Cub Scout Pack, focused on age-appropriate Cub Council-approved locations. If non-members, siblings participate, the event must be structured accordingly to accommodate them. All youth participants are responsible to a specific adult.

Adults giving leadership to Cub Scout Pack overnighters must complete Basic Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) to properly understand the importance of program intent, youth protection, health and safety, site selection, age-appropriate activities, and sufficient adult participation.

Scouts BSA Camping: Registered members of Scouts BSA Troops are eligible to participate in Troop or Patrol overnight campouts, camporees, and resident camps, provided all leadership standards and other BSA guidelines are met.

If a well-meaning leader or parent brings along a child who does not meet these age guidelines, disservice is done to the Unit because of distractions often caused by younger children. A disservice is done to the child, who is not trained to participate in such activity and whom, as a non-member of the group, the older campers may ignore.

Polar Bear Camping: The Bay-Lakes Council challenges Units to earn the Polar Bear Camping Award for those persons who challenge the winter weather. The requirements are:

  1. Set-up a tent or build a man-made shelter in the outdoors and occupy the shelter for a period of 24 hours, with temperatures being 32°F or less.
  2. Actively participate in the planned program of the group remaining outside or in the shelter as much as possible.
  3. Complete the requirements between fall and winter of the current year into spring of the next year.

Upon approval from the Unit leader, the participant earns the polar bear patch. These patches are available for sale through the Center for Scouting Program Department. Orders must be placed by May 1st using the Polar Bear Award Order form which can be found on the Bay-Lakes Council website; www.baylakesbsa.org.

Check In Procedure Back to Top

There will be a campmaster on-site during your stay at Camp Rokilio. They are there to help and assist your group in any way possible and to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable stay while visiting Camp Rokilio. Our Campmasters have been trained on many facets of the camp operation and in reality, are an arm of the Camp Ranger and the Bay-Lakes Council Camping and Properties Committees. If you have any needs or issues regarding your stay here at camp, please share them with the Campmaster, they are there to serve. They will be located in the upper-level of the Baden Powell building (see camp map for exact location).

Please stop and check-in with the Campmasters upon your arrival at camp. This will allow the Campmaster to easily check-in your group. Following check-in, equipment and vehicles from your group will be able to drive to the building or area where you are staying to unload your gear. Please stay on gravel roads only and please share with all your drivers. There are septic tanks, water shut offs, rocks, etc. that may cause damage to your vehicles or camp property. For compliance with the county fire code, vehicles must be moved away from the buildings for access by emergency personnel in the event they are called to the camp.  Vehicles are to be returned to the main parking lot by the maintenance building or the parking lot just past the Fort cabin (not available during winter months).

Check Out Procedure Back to Top

Please take all garbage and other refuse with you upon departure. There are no containers on-site to handle this.

The Scout adage of “leave your area cleaner than you found it,” has never been more important than now. These buildings are the future of camping in the council. Please take care of them. Cleaning supplies are readily available and when everybody chips in to do their fair share, the job is done quickly and efficiently.

To ensure there are no misunderstandings, the Campmasters will check-out the condition of the building before any unit departs. Again, we want to keep these facilities in the best possible shape and avoid any hard feelings or any unnecessary accusations. Please be sure to contact the Campmaster when the building has been cleaned and ready for inspection.
