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.
