What NOT To Bring To Camp:
Facilities descriptions on our Reservation Portal
A meeting with the health officer, event chair and properties manager should take place prior to the event to discuss logistics and planning for any medical emergency so they are made aware of what areas of camp are being used and can plan accordingly and offer guidance in accordance with special situations like heat/cold related issues. Radio procedures should be established as well as backup plans should the medical officer be unavailable or indisposed.
Reservations for all scheduled calendar events need to be added to the Council approved reservation system when the calendar is approved to reserve the space and avoid issues with other reservations and to establish the pricing that is needed to help guide the event budget.
4 to 6 weeks prior to the scheduled event, the event coordinator should verify needs and communicate with the Council Program Director and Council Properties Manager to validate needs and address any questions or possible changes or get them involved during their planning meetings. Groups should never assume that certain resources will be available due to issues that can arise or incorrect information regarding availability of resources, i.e. availability of refrigeration, ice, water, showers, campsites, etc.
One week prior to the event, contact between the event chair and property manager should be made to verify status on resource availability and logistics to ensure there are no last minute issues or changes.
All units camping must follow the guidelines outlined in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Proper leadership, trainings, and safety protocols are required for all activities including each participant having the proper Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record filled out and available.
All other camp rules apply in regards to events, these guidelines can be found on the council web site. Lights out for all events is 11:00pm and everyone should be in their assigned areas by that time.
Events wishing to provide event staff sleeping quarters should be discussed during the planning stages. It will be encouraged to have units and youth camp with the attendees. If it is justified to have units or youth stay in cabins, adult supervision must be provided based on Scouting guidelines and adults present during the time youth are gathered at cabins, indoor facilities or shower houses. Youth are not allowed to use indoor facilities without adult presence in the immediate area. For the staff cabin (Raymond House), adults can bunk in the same facility keeping a separation of space while sleeping. For Adirondack usage, an attempt should be made to keep youth in their own cabin and adults in a separate cabin, again, adults must be present in area when youth are at cabins, same guidelines exist for the OA basement or apartments.
Adults should be encouraged to camp with units and youth to show solidarity and support, however if indoor space is needed, this should be discussed during the planning stages to ensure availability and address any special needs. It is understood that the many of the lead adults may desire indoor facilities and they will be made available.
