Pack 224 Scouter and Family
Here at Pack 224, we are dedicated to providing an excellent and fun experience for both scouts and families. To accomplish this goal, scouts and families are expected to behave appropriately and promote a safe, fun and healthy environment. Our goal is to promote the values of the scouting program and do our best to live by the scout oath, law, motto, and outdoor code. We ask that all scouts and parents/guardians read this document together before arriving at camp or any scouting activity. Pack 224 requires adults attending overnight trips to take the BSA online Youth Protection Training (YPT) (https://www.scouting.org/training/youth-protection/). Please send a copy of your certificate to the Pack email.
COURTEOUS AND KIND:
Be respectful, cooperative and will contribute positively to the experience of fellow scouters.
Be careful and considerate that my actions will not hurt another scouts’ feelings or hurt them physically, either intentionally or accidentally. This rule also applies to adults and leaders.
Be courteous and kind to the camp and staff.
Respect the rights and beliefs of others and treat others with courtesy and consideration.
Respect the property of others. Remember the “Outdoor Code”.
No scouts are to be excluded from any activity either by leadership or by other scouts. Everyone will be given the same opportunity to complete activities.
SAFETY:
Campers must have a pair of closed toe shoes at camp. Shoes such as crocks are fine. Flip flops or sandals may only be used at the shower facilities or around an approved Aquatics area.
Campers may bring and wear water shoes during pool time.
Campers need to pay attention to their surroundings and use care in all activities.
Campers will adhere to all safety rules and regulations given for each activity that he/she participates in while at camp.
Scouts are not permitted to run around camp with sticks or other dangerous objects.
Firearms, toy guns, nerf guns, or even water guns are not permitted at any Scouting events unless in approved ranges, even with concealed carry permits. (There are a few exceptions to this rule so please see leadership if you have questions.)
Pack leaders are the only persons allowed to start a campfire. Families are forbidden to do so on their own. This is a BSA policy. BSA allows only properly trained leaders to complete this activity.
There is no consumption of alcohol or usage of drugs (non-prescription) at or on any scouting event.
Smoking is allowed by adults however it must be done away from the campsite and out of view of scouts.
In order to comply with BSA’s youth protection guidelines there should be no single scouts roaming the area. A minimum of 2 scouts or the scout and family member should accompany the scout if they leave the campsite area.
Only your family is allowed in your tent. At no time should there be children that are not yours in your tent.
Food should not be kept or eaten in tents. This is help reduce any unwanted creatures in your tent.
ELECTRONICS POLICY:
Cell phones, ipads, computers, or gaming devices etc., will not be allowed outside a family’s tent. The only persons allowed devices are the pack leaders and family adult guardians. When guardians are using devices, they should be used outside the campsite. All devices shall be powered off no later than 10pm. While devices are in use the volume must be kept to a minimum, so it does not disturb other campers. Charging cords or stations are not furnished by the pack. In some instances, campsites are primitive and do not have electricity. Please plan accordingly if you plan on bringing any devices. Pack 224 nor Gulf-Stream Council is responsible for missing, broken, or theft of electronic devices.
