Camping Activities Policies

No Scout will leave the campsite without the permission of the Patrol Leader or his designate. Patrol Leaders will get permission from the Senior Patrol Leader in order to leave the area. Disciplinary problems on campouts and activities will not be tolerated. Scouts who cannot behave themselves will be sent home.

Scouts who become a behavior or discipline problem at a camp out or activity will be sent home. Parents will be called and asked to pick-up their son. It is expected that this pick-up will occur regardless of the distance involved.

Buddy System:

Scouts will follow BSA’s Buddy System whenever appropriate. Examples include water activities, whenever a Scout is to go beyond visual range of a campsite, instances where Scouts are interacting with large groups of people not known by the troop, and whenever the Scoutmaster declares theBuddy System is in effect.
