CAMP RULESLEADERS:

PLEASE DISCUSS THESE RULES WITH THE YOUTH andPARENT HELPERS COMING TO CAMP.

SCOUTS CANADA RULES

1. There shall not be any alcohol or illegal substance on the camp premises. Evidence of the above will be grounds for immediate removal from the camp property.

2. Any form of prescription drugs are to be listed on the physical fitness or Scouts Canada registration form.

COMMON SENSE RULES

1. For smokers: Do not smoke in plain sight of the youth. Cigarette butts should be kept in your pocket, not on the ground. An area will be set up for smoking, we’d ask adults to use this area.

2. Quiet time is 23:30 hours to 6:30 hours (11:30 P.M. to 6:30 A.M.). If you are not in bed during these hours, please be quiet so others can sleep.

3. Outhouse / Toilet Courtesy: Anyone caught defacing or dirtying the toilet seats or the outhouses in anyway shall have to scrub down the mess and will be asked to leave camp. Pee and poop in the toilet, not on it.It will be the responsibility of the leader of that group to see that the guilty youth is taken home or picked up by the parent/legal guardian.

4. Permission to enter a campsite must be sought and obtained prior to entering another group’s campsite.5. Please refrain from swearing and be polite. This is part of a Registered Adult’s Duty of Care. It is a

standard that should also be upheld with Parent Helpers and youth.6. 21st Century Rule: Practice Leave No Trace camping. Leave your site cleaner than it was when you

arrived.

Cub Camp Rules

1. The registrar will meet each group as they arrive and will provide instructions for signing in. Campers may start arriving at noon on Friday. Groups arriving after dark should please let the staff know ahead of time. Parents who drive their own children to camp cannot leave their youth unless the rest of the group or their Akela is already on the grounds.

2. At registration, each group will receive a package containing their name tags, camp schedule and general information. An activity sign up sheet will be available at that time, so please talk with your adults to see how they would like to help.

3. All vehicles will remain in the parking lot. Be prepared to carry your personal gear into your campsite, so a wagon or garden trolley will come in handy. Third-year Cubs and their leaders will be camping separately from the rest of their group, so ensure their equipment is packed separately. There will be a couple of vehicles available to carry equipment to the camp sites.

4. Everyone must carry a copy of their Scouts Canada Registration Form or Physical Fitness form with them at all times, under their hat or in their shirt pocket. All Groups are responsible for keeping an up to date physical fitness or registration form at their campsite at all times.

5. All adults and youth must wear their name tags at all times. 6. You must come self-contained. Tables, benches, chairs and tents are not supplied. Food is supplied for

the Saturday supper (banquet) for everyone.7. Campsites are not assigned. Personal fires are allowed for those camping in the main camp area.

8. Leader tents and shelters must be clearly marked with fluorescent flagging tape. If there are any problems during the night, Camp Staff will seek help from the leader’s tent. If the tent cannot be found, security personnel will have to wake a tent at a time until they find a leader tent.

9. There will be a leaders’ meeting on Friday night at 10:00 pm. We would like as many leaders to attend but please ensure that you leave enough adults at your site so that the youth are attended to. The rules, fire and safety precautions will be discussed and any unfilled positions will be assigned during this meeting. This meeting is also a chance for everyone to get acquainted and ask any further questions. Camp will supply the coffee and hot chocolate – you supply the mug.

10. The Saturday Night social will begin at 7:30 PM sharp. Camp Staff will judge the campsite decorations. 11. There will be a Formal Campfire on Saturday Evening. We will meet at the parade square. Please have a positive song, skit and cheer prepared.12. If someone has to leave camp temporarily, they must inform Camp Staff regarding where they are going

and for how long they will be gone. There will also be a sign out sheet that will be used. 13. No one is allowed to leave camp at the end of camp until their campsite has been checked and cleared by camp staff.14. Should a situation arise between a parent, a youth, or a leader, the camp staff will address the situation. If

the camp staff deem it necessary, their Group Committee will then be contacted. There will be no camp disruptions.

General Information Note there will no night patrol this year so leaders are required to ensure that their youth are

monitored overnight. 3rd Year Beavers take part in the 1st/2nd yr Cub Program. There is no separate Beaver program. • There will be qualified first aid on staff 24/7. Cellphone coverage is good. In case of emergency, dial 9-1-1
