LABEL YOUR GEAR
Scouts should "Mark" all personal Gear.
Many times items are lost or misplaced and are never
claimed. Items that are marked and found will be
announced at evening retreat.
MEDICAL FORMS
All Scouts and Leaders
must have a current Medical Form. Cub Scouts and
Leaders under 40 need a physical every three years with
an attested review annually. Leaders 40 years and
over must have a Class III physical within a year prior
to your departure from camp. All forms are on the
Forms
webpage.
MEDICATIONS
All Medications must be checked in with
the Camp Health Officer.
You will be permitted to keep with you only those
medications necessary to sustain life. The Health
Officer will dispense only legal medications.
Legal Medications are medicines in their original
container, label affixed, doctors name, patients name,
date and name of medication contained therein. If
there has been a dosage change, it must be so noted by
your doctor. A weekly pill dispenser box will be
permitted if your pharmacist or doctor provides printed
information as to the contents.
MAIL
Mail is delivered on a daily basis.
When it arrives, it is sorted and placed in your mailbox
at the Camp Office. A pick-up card will denote an
oversized letter or parcel.
The exact camp address will be available
before we depart for camp.
Every scout likes to get mail – Please pre-write a
letter and mail it on Saturday (before your son leaves
for camp) this way he gets mail early in the week.
