Dear Scouters,
We are pleased to introduce you to the 2021 edition of the Camp Tuscarora Summer Camp Leaders
Guide. The Council Camping Committee, Austin and I are pleased that you have chosen Camp Tuscarora
for your unit’s long-term camping experience. We welcome you to our summer home and believe that
you will be very pleased with the program, our friendly staff, the family atmosphere, and great food that
you will experience during your stay with us.
We have units from all over the east coast from Maryland to Florida that camp with us each summer and
continue to return because of the great Scouting adventure and experience they receive. We will put
our program and staff up against any camp in the country as far as the quality provided at an affordable
price!
The camping committee is committed to making sure that you and your Scouts have the very best Scout
camping experience while at Camp Tuscarora, and our staff is excited and focused on delivering a
memorable summer camping season. We pride our camp as having an outstanding staff that is spirited
and dedicated to delivering excellent customer service. We have been busy this past year preparing the
2021 program so that when your unit arrives at camp, they have a place to call home for an excellent
week of Scouting adventure, advancement, fellowship, and FUN!
Summer camp is the heart of the annual Scout program where youth will spend a week to hone and
learn new skills to prepare for the future. This year we are offering Merit Badges that we have not offered
at Camp Tuscarora in the past, and we have added a brand-new Venture Week for our fourth week of
Summer Camp, specifically for Scouts 14 and older as well as Venture Crews and Explorer Posts.
We are committed to ensuring that our facilities, equipment, and staff are top-notch, and we assure you
that their safety and satisfaction is our main concern.
On behalf of the Tuscarora Council, the camping committee, and camp staff, we thank you again for
choosing Camp Tuscarora in 2021, and we look forward to a very special Summer Camp experience!
In Scouting,
Tuscarora Council Program Director - Camp Tuscarora Camp Director,
Sarah Fernandez
Sarah L. Fernandez, and
2021 Camp Tuscarora Summer Camp Program Director,

CAMPERSHIP PROGRAM
A limited amount of funding is available to registered Tuscarora Council Scouts who are in need of
financial assistance to attend summer camp. An application for Direct Assistance is available by
request by emailing the Camp Director at Sarah.Fernandez@Scouting.org.
All applications requesting financial aid are due no later than April 1, 2021. Late or incomplete
applications will not be honored.
PROVISIONAL CAMPING
Camp Tuscarora offers the opportunity for provisional campers. If a unit has Scouts that wish to attend
Camp without a full group, they are encouraged to sign up as a provisional camper. Also, if a Scout
has attended a full week session at summer camp and wants to spend an additional week at Camp
Tuscarora, they may come to camp as a provisional Camper during any of our Scouts BSA Resident
camp weeks.
We will place the Scout with another unit that has been approved to support Provisional Campers to
insure they have the best possible experience while at Camp Tuscarora. The Provisional Scout must
register online via our online registration and payment link and payment of the appropriate fees is
needed before a Scout can select Merit Badges choices for their provisional week. (See page 34 for
more information.)
A SCOUT IS COURTEOUS
Camp Tuscarora lies in the agricultural community of Four Oaks. The roads leading to our camp
traverse beautiful farmland with many spectacular views of the countryside, as well as the historic
Bentonville Battleground site. These roads, however, are narrow with curves that in some places limit
visibility of oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Take care to accommodate local traffic which will include
farm equipment.
On your visits to our camp, remember that a Scout is Courteous and Friendly and that these Scouting
standards need observance as you travel to and from our wonderful property. We are all guests and
brief visitors in Four Oaks who will encounter permanent residents who cherish their community as
much as we do our own home community. Have a great camp visit! Drive slowly and please wave.
WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS POLICY
Camp Tuscarora is a haven for wildlife and serves as a wildlife sanctuary. We hope your visit at Camp
Tuscarora includes wildlife encounters. There are a few rules we ask you to follow to ensure your safety and
enjoyment:
● Observe wildlife in their natural habitat only. Never handle wildlife except with the guidance of
the camp ecology staff and within the guidelines and needs of the camp ecology program. Our
ecology staff will handle any intrusive or dangerous wildlife that appear in your campsite or
around camp.
● Never feed wildlife. Wildlife have their own natural food sources. Human feeding can lead to the
development of wildlife pests, destruction of camp and personal property, and potentially harmful
encounters. Keep a clean camp and tent site. Be sure to collect and dispose of garbage regularly
and store food in safe, wildlife-proof containers. Open food should never be stored in personal
tents. Many animals such as opossums, skunks, and raccoons are nocturnal and will enter tents in
search of a free meal.
● Stay away from poisonous plants such as poison ivy.
● Avoid contact with spiny caterpillars.
7|Page
There are several plants and animals at Camp Tuscarora that can pose a health threat or make your
stay at Camp an unpleasant one. While at Camp, learn to identify those that pose the biggest threat,
how to protect yourself from them, and the proper first aid treatments should they become necessary.
The Nature and First Aid areas can offer training in these areas upon request.
● Bees and other stinging insects, poison ivy, and caterpillars with spines can create allergic
reactions that can be severe or life threatening to some campers.
● Ticks can transmit diseases and should be removed ASAP. Ticks that prove difficult to remove
should be brought to the attention of the Camp Medic. Be sure to know the proper first aid
treatment and perform a daily body check for ticks.
● Black Widow spiders like dark damp places. Never reach into an area if you cannot see what is
there first.
● Poisonous snakes at Camp Tuscarora are the copperhead and the timber rattlesnake. Their bites
can be dangerous. Other snakes can bite as well. Be sure to know how to identify these snakes
and the proper first aid for snake-bites.
● Should you observe any fur-bearing animals that seem to show strange behavior, do not touch
or go near them. Report the situation immediately to the camp office.
● Anytime you have a wildlife encounter that has the potential or proves to be a problem, please
report it to the camp office.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND MEDICAL RECORDS
Every youth and leader attending Camp Tuscarora must submit the Annual Health and Medical
Record form # 680-001, parts A, B1, B2 and C (2019 printing) as well as the Activity Consent Form
and Approval with all necessary information and signatures upon arriving at camp. There are no
exceptions to this requirement; we are mandated to collect these documents and this information.
Campers without a proper physical form will be either sent home or sent to a local medical facility
that can handle the medical check-up at the Scout or leader’s expense. One of the most common
check-in issues is that the parent or guardian has overlooked signing the form! If there is a problem
with a physical form, please make sure the Camp Director and the Program Director are aware.
Please have copies of health insurance cards front and back. If you do not have health insurance
coverage please write “NONE” in the appropriate space on the medical form. Current blank
medical forms can be found here: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-
001_ABC.pdf
Medical forms are collected and kept secure in the Medical Lodge for use by medical staff. At the
end of the week, an adult leader will have to check out the forms by confirming they have all of their
forms and none that belong to another unit. The leader checking out the forms must sign the medical
form check-out log for record-keeping purposes. (This enables our admin staff with the ability to
answer questions definitively and return phone calls with up-to-date information regarding forms
once camp has closed for the summer.) ALL UNCLAIMED MEDICAL FORMS WILL BE DESTROYED AT
THE CLOSE OF SUMMER CAMP.
Units are encouraged to help the check-in process by pre-checking forms for completeness prior to
arriving at camp, using only the standard required BSA forms, stapling forms and attachments, and
only bringing forms for the Scouts and Leaders attending Camp that week.
HEALTH RECORDS FOR LEADERS OR PARENTS – FEWER THAN 72 HOURS
Leaders or parents staying in camp fewer than 72 hours must complete parts A and B of the Annual
Health and Medical Record, this does not require a physical. Leaders arriving during the week MUST
report to the Medic for a medical recheck and turn in their Medical form.
8|Page
MEDICATIONS
All medications—including over the counter and prescription medications—that are brought to camp
are to be the responsibility of the unit leader. All Scouts bringing medication to Camp are required to
have the Prescription Medication Information Form filled out and turned in with their medication to
their unit leader. These medications are to be kept in the campsite in a locked container. We can
provide a lock box if needed. The medic will need to receive well-documented information on any
medication that requires refrigeration. If you have a camper or adult leader with a special need, don’t
hesitate to contact us at (919)-734-1714.
ASTHMA – INHALERS
If asthma is listed as a condition by either parent or doctor, it should be considered a serious condition
and appropriate medications need to be brought with the camper to Camp Tuscarora. All asthmatics
should bring at least two (2) rescue inhalers and any other required medication to camp unless doctor
or parent specify otherwise on medical form. You should have one inhaler with the Scout and one
with the Unit leadership in the camp site.
NUTRITION RESTRICTIONS
If you have any Scouts or leaders who have specific medically necessary nutritional needs, please
indicate this information in our online registration portal AND contact us in advance of your arrival to
make appropriate arrangements. We will do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs.
FIRST AID
First aid treatment is available in Camp 24 hours a day at the Camp Medical Lodge. The closest hospital
in our area is Johnston Memorial Hospital located in Smithfield, NC. This hospital treats emergency
patients from camp and emergency transportation is available at all times. All first aid situations must
be brought to the immediate attention of the Camp Medic.
INSURANCE CLAIMS
The BSA Accident and Sickness Insurance plan’s purpose is not to replace or diminish the need for
family health insurance. Rather, its purpose is to provide assurance that financial help is available to
help meet emergency medical expenses should an injury or illness occur during a Scouting activity. The
“responsible party” for all medical services is the family of the person injured, and the family’s health
insurance should be reported as such to ensure proper billing. In the case of an accident the claims are
to be made against the Unit’s accident insurance. Units need to present proof of insurance at check-
in on Sunday. If necessary, units will need to file their own medical/accident insurance claims.
UNIT LEADERSHIP AT CAMP
Adult Leadership
The unit leader is responsible for every Scout he or she brings to camp. At Camp Tuscarora, our
expectation for the behavior of all Scouts is that they will hold themselves to the Scout Oath and Scout
Law. The Unit’s leaders are responsible for all actions, behavior, and conduct of their Scouts at all times
while at Camp Tuscarora—this includes program areas, campsites and in the showers. If a Scout must
leave camp early for any reason, it is the responsibility of the Unit Leader to insure the proper
procedures are followed for releasing a minor. Each Unit must have at least two adults in camp at all
times, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age. Units using rotating leadership should plan to
have the departing leader orient the new leader upon his or her arrival at camp.
9|Page
Youth Leadership
Youth Leadership plays an important role in Summer Camp. It is important for the Senior Patrol Leader
to work with the other youth leaders to plan and deliver the program as needed. The youth leadership
will be responsible for planning inter-Unit campfires, camp-wide activities, and other program
features. Senior Patrol leaders will be open to participate in Senior Patrol Leader Meetings in the
Headquarters building, Monday-Thursday, after lunch. These Senior Patrol Leader meetings function
like the Adult Leader Meetings where we share important camp information and discuss comments
and concerns about camp. Along with this, Senior Patrol leaders will be guided through how to
encourage unit participation in Camp Program, as well as the role of the Senior Patrol Leader at
Summer Camp.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER PLANNING & TRAINING
All program areas and camp sites have shelters to use in case of rain. We will review Hazardous
Weather Procedures as a part of our Sunday Check-In Procedure and will inform you of locations to
use in case of severe storm warnings.
Hazardous Weather is an important consideration in planning for any outdoor activity, including
camping and it is now required for all registered leaders to have complete, unexpired Hazardous
Weather Training. Go to your MyScouting.org page to take this training as well as Youth Protection
Training.
Also, as a part of your planning it is important to designate an Adult Emergency Contact Person for
back home while the Unit is at Camp. This person would be in charge of providing any needed
information to Scout families for emergencies or other Unit needs that develop.
Please note: in the event of heavy rains, winds, and storms, meals will continue to be served in the
dining hall at the scheduled time. If any changes are made to the program schedule due to hazardous
weather, Unit Guides will reach out to and inform their Units on camp.
RESPECT OF PRIVACY
Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothing,
changing into swimsuits, or taking showers. Adults must also protect their own privacy in similar
situations. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult that is not their own
parent or guardian. Adults are not permitted to be in a youth shower area unless it is necessary to
stop behavior issues or in matters of health and safety of your Scouts.
YOUTH PROTECTION
Camp is often a place where we are made aware of Youth Protection violations, whether they
happened at camp or elsewhere. Please report any youth protection violations or suspected abuse to
the Camp Director immediately. All adults on site for more than 72 hours MUST be YPT certified.
EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER
Camp Tuscarora’s phone number is (919) 934-9538, but we ask that you call the camp only for
emergencies or official business. An updated list of current emergency contact numbers is visibly
posted in each campsite and inside of each building and structure on camp. If there is a number you
need that isn’t listed, reach out to Austin Mitchell, Summer Camp Program director, for up to date
emergency contact numbers.
10 | P a g eYOUTH OR LEADER LEAVING CAMP EARLY
All Scouts and Leaders must check in and out of Camp at the Camp Office whenever they leave or arrive during
the camping week (with exception of Sunday and Saturday). In addition, all Scouts who are leaving Camp must
have the “Youth Leaving Camp Early” form completed and signed by the Scoutmaster and parent or guardian.
The form must be completed and have all the appropriate signatures prior to the youth leaving camp.
MAIL
Incoming mail will be placed in the unit mailbox in the Camp Office. If not picked up by evening flags, it will
be distributed then (with a staff song). The mail at Camp is delivered by rural carrier, which tends to require
extra time to make it to Four Oaks. Mail should be sent early in the week to insure delivery. Mail to campers
should be addressed as follows:
Scout’s name and Troop/Crew #
Camp Tuscarora, BSA
965 Scout Rd.
Four Oaks, NC 27524
HOMESICK CAMPERS
Occasionally, Scouts attending camp may become homesick and want to leave camp. As you deal with such
problems, please remember that the Camp Tuscarora staff are trained to address homesickness among the
campers. Please do not allow any Scout to leave camp early without discussing the situation with the Camp
Director or Program Director. IN ADDITION, THE “YOUTH LEAVING CAMP FORM” MUST BE FILLED OUT WHEN
A SCOUT LEAVES CAMP TUSCARORA.
TRADITIONAL SCOUT CAMPING
Units that come to Camp Tuscarora are housed in traditional two-man canvas tents with cots. Each campsite
has a flagpole, bulletin board, shelter and latrine. Hot showers are available for all campers at the shower
house. Unless your unit is large, you will be sharing a campsite with another unit so bring any additional gear
you feel is needed for your stay at Camp. If your unit plans to bring your own tents, please indicate this in
our online registration portal AND notify the Camp Director/Program Director by JUNE 1st so we can prepare
your campsites accordingly. As a further safety precaution in response to COVID-19, all campers may wish
to bring their own tent and either tent alone, or allow to have at least a 6 ft. distance between cots/sleeping
pads and arrange campers to sleep in a head-to-toe formation.
FLAG CEREMONIES
Camp-wide flag-raising and retreat ceremonies occur each day, fifteen minutes before breakfast and supper.
Units are encouraged to conduct a Unit retreat in their campsite before the camp-wide retreat. Leaders and
campers should dress in full official field uniform for evening retreat. At each flag ceremony, we will also have
a unit roll call. In these calls, units are encouraged to come up with a scouting appropriate chant/cheer to
show their scouting spirit. Each morning, a winning unit will be chosen and will receive some special
arrangements for that day. Please try to limit the time of these roll calls, as the campers and staff are usually
quite hungry and ready to eat come flag time. Depending on participation, camper numbers, and potential
guidelines from the CDC, the ACA, and the State of NC, flag ceremonies and other assemblies are subject to
cancellation for this summer.
BUDDY SYSTEM
With all of the potential dangers and hazards that are inherent in a summer camp setting, it is important that
all Scouts and leaders be accountable for where they are at all times. While at camp, all Scouts should use the
buddy system in all activities. When two Scouts attend Merit Badge classes and other events together, they
can provide support and encouragement to each other.
There is also added safety in participating in camp activities as buddies. Camp Tuscarora strongly encourages
units to require Scouts to use the buddy system and have adult leaders tell another responsible person where
they are going when leaving the group or the unit’s campsite.
11 | P a g eMEALS
For visitors, individual meal tickets can be purchased at the Headquarters Building —$6.00 for an adult
(18 and up) and $4.00 for a child (under 18). * Depending on where we are with the COVID-19 pandemic,
there is a possibility that we will be unable to allow visitors at camp during the summer of 2021.
At Camp Tuscarora, the Dining Staff will set up cups, plastic ware, and chairs. However, every Unit should
assign two Scouts for each meal that will serve as the Unit’s waiters. These waiters should clean up the
table at the end of the meals, ensure that all trash is disposed of and the table has been wiped clean
with the cleaning materials provided by the kitchen staff. After cleaning the tables, waiters should stack
the chairs on top of their Unit’s table. Finally, waiters are responsible for carrying empty drink pitchers to
the drink cart/table when refills are needed.
FOR SUMMER 2021: There may potentially be significant changes to dining hall operations this summer.
Details of exactly what will be modified and implemented in regards to dining hall operations will be
communicated as soon as we have determined where we are at that time with the pandemic in regards to
the current CDC, and local and state agency required guidelines. We will continue to follow guidelines from
these agencies as they are put forth and adjust as needed.
PLEASE NOTE: Our Dining Hall facilities are closed on Friday night to provide our cook staff with an evening
off, and there is no meal provided by camp for Friday night dinner. Units must provide their own Friday
evening meal.
FOOD ALLERGIES: Our kitchen staff are more than happy to make accommodations for any food allergies
of concern in your unit. Advance notice is needed for time to properly plan and prepare for your week at
camp. Please fill in the appropriate allergy response fields during your online registration, as well as making
notations on the BSA Health and Medical Record Form AND notify the Camp Director prior to summer
camp with any food allergies and/or dietary restrictions within your unit.
TRADING POST
Camp Tuscarora operates a fully stocked trading post with snacks, souvenirs and program items you may
need during your week at camp. Items such as T-shirts, hats, patches, toothpaste, camping gear, drinks
and handicraft kits are available. We do carry Merit Badge books for all Merit Badges offered at Camp.
The average Scout spends $50.00 to $75.00 at the Trading Post during his or her week at camp.
COMPUTERS AND WI-FI
At Camp Tuscarora we have spotty, very slow Wi-Fi on a limited cellular plan which is restricted to use by
our Administrative staff to allow them access to the online registration system. If a leader needs internet
access for work, we can suggest locations in Smithfield or Goldsboro where you can go for a cup of coffee
and significantly faster internet connections. Our internet connection is a symbol of rural living at its finest.
UNIFORM
The Scout uniform is a very important part of the Boy Scout program. During program hours, Scouts should
wear an activity uniform—a scouting related t-shirt and scout shorts or pants. All Scouts need to bring at
least one complete field uniform to camp. Each scout and leader are encouraged to wear a complete
uniform for:
● Evening Flag Retreat
● Vesper Services
● Evening meals/dinner
● Sunday night and Friday night Campfire
12 | P a g eFOOT WEAR AT CAMP
Because we are in the woods, it is important to your health and safety that close-toed shoes or boots
be worn at all times to prevent foot injuries. We insist that everyone wear shoes at all times. Sandals
that cover the toes and have heel straps are allowed.
Flip-flops are not appropriate footwear at camp for either scouts or leaders even when traveling to or
from the waterfront. While at the waterfront, if any camper is participating in a boating activity, water
shoes are required.
FACILITIES USE POLICY
DAMAGE OF CAMP PROPERTY
Any damage to cots, tents or other camp property will be charged to the unit and payable before you
depart camp. You will be asked to inspect your campsite upon arrival with your Unit Guide and again
prior to departure. Damage to property will be discussed and costs payable will be determined before
your unit leaves camp. If you notice damaged camp property, please inform your unit guide so
damage can be evaluated and dealt with promptly.
SHOWER HOUSE RULES
The showers should be used from 6:00 am until 10:30 pm daily (we understand if long lines keep you
at the showers a bit later). Each day, at least one Unit will be asked to clean the showers as a service
project. Adult leaders are responsible for the conduct of their Scouts while in the showers and we
ask that you provide adult leadership while using the showers. Should there be any observed
misbehavior from Scouts, adults in camp do have the responsibility to ensure the safety of all Scouts.
The showers should be checked for cleanliness before and after use.
LATRINES
For sanitation purposes, please ensure that the seats stay closed in your campsite latrines and they
are made ‘fly proof’. Please do not permit your Scouts to place foreign objects such as soda cans, sticks,
etc. in latrines. To help with odor, you may obtain lime from the Ranger or Quartermaster as well as
cleaning supplies for daily cleaning.
SAFETY, PERSONAL PROPERTY, PROHIBITED ITEMS & BEHAVIOR POLICY
RESTRICTED AREAS
While our facilities at Camp Tuscarora are for Scout campers and their leaders, there are areas that
are off limits for all campers during the camp season:
● Ranger’s house or grounds
● Staff campsite/staff living areas
● Maintenance area except during Quartermaster open hours and when participating in
service projects
● Shooting areas - Shotgun, Rifle and Archery except during program hours
● Climbing, BMX, Skate Park, and Waterfront program areas except during program hours and
approved Unit activity
13 | P a g eTOBACCO USE
Use of any tobacco is forbidden for all individuals on camp property. Please know that per National
Camp Policy, every member of our staff is compelled to address any adult or camper on the property
that is using tobacco products (this includes vaping and chewing tobacco) on camp.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
The presence of the following items in camp may pose a serious hazard to your fellow Scouts and
Scouters, therefore, they are strictly prohibited:
∙ Personal firearms and/or ammunition (Any and all Firearms must be registered with the
Shooting Sports Director and kept secured in the shooting sports area.)
∙ Alcohol & illegal drugs
∙ Fireworks, pyrotechnics, or any type of explosives
∙ Sheath knives
∙ Pets – please advise your families not to bring pets when they come to Camp to visit. This can
cause a potential issue with allergies and homesickness.
∙ Any projectile launch devices
∙ Pornography
DISCIPLINE
While most discipline is the responsibility of the Unit leadership, the Camp Director reserves the right
to dismiss individuals, patrols, or Units from Camp Tuscarora for violation of camp policies. If Merit
Badge counselors experience discipline issues within their Merit Badge classes, the counselors
reserve the right to remove a camper from their Merit Badge session. All serious issues of discipline
will be reported immediately to the Unit Leaders by the Program Director or Merit Badge counselors.
KNIVES
Knife work and safety are very important in the Scouting program, but sheath knives may not be
brought to camp. Scoutmasters should be sure that Scouts using whittling or carving knives know
how to use them properly. If your Scout or several members of your Troop have not achieved the
Totin’ Chip, please visit the Scoutcraft area and ask how your Scouts can fulfill the requirements.
Scouts must have a Totin’ Chip to purchase a knife from the trading post without adult supervision.
HAZING AND RAIDING
There is no place in Scouting for hazing or raiding of campsites or individuals and is prohibited by the
policies of the Boy Scouts of America. Units or individuals violating this policy will be sent home. No
Scouter, camper or staff member should enter a Unit campsite without permission of the Unit.
Anyone found in an unoccupied campsite will be liable for any damage found. It is important that we
have your help in keeping your Scouts in your campsite after taps.
RIFLES AND AMMUNITION
The camp provides safe, accurate firearms and ammunition. There is no need to bring guns,
ammunition, bows, or arrows to camp.
14 | P a g eVEHICLES AND TRAILERS
We will allow vehicles two vehicles at a time to take a Troop or Crew trailer or gear to the site during
Sunday Check-in, but cannot be responsible for damage to your vehicle due to the conditions of
our roads. Upon your arrival, do not proceed to your campsite or any other area on camp without
first checking in with our staff in the Camp Headquarters building. If you use your own vehicle to
transport gear you do so at your own risk. When practical, Scouts should plan on carrying their gear
to their campsites. Arrangements can be made to transport trailers and additional Unit gear to your
campsite. Troop or Crew trailers may be left in the campsites, but all vehicles must be parked in the
camp parking lot. During Sunday Check-in, vehicles can remain to drop off gear at the campsite for
two hours after check in.
Never transport anyone in the bed of a pickup truck or in a trailer. It is both unsafe and against
BSA regulations.
BUSES
Due to the size of our parking lot it is very difficult for buses to maneuver especially during the busy
Sunday check-in. If your unit plans to arrive by bus, please let us know in advance. We will work
with you to find the best parking place for the bus. If needed, we will transport your gear to your
campsite.
VALUABLES
Unfortunately, even at Scout camp, losses occur. Electronic equipment should be left at home. We
carry no insurance on personal items and a Scout takes full personal responsibility for all items
brought to camp. Please write the Scout’s name and Unit number on clothing, packs, water bottles,
Scout handbooks or anything that they do not want to lose this will aid in their return if found. The
Headquarters building, Trading Post, and Waterfront operate a lost-and-found station. However, this
lost-and-found station is emptied at the closing of the summer camp season.
2-WAY RADIOS
Although we discourage the use of 2-way radios and cell phones at camp, we understand that they
can be an asset. Scoutmasters and adult leaders may use 2-way radios and cell phones for
communication. We request that if you discover that you are on the same channel as the Staff that
you change your channel.
CELL PHONES
One of the increasing challenges for Units is the use of cell phones, not only do they increase
homesickness, but increasingly are a source of distraction. For leaders who need them for business,
we provide charging stations in the trading post and dining hall. Cell phone service at camp can be
good or terrible depending on your position in camp and your service provider, so please do not rely
on cell phone service while on camp property. U.S. Cellular receives the best signal at camp, while
Verizon is spotty, and AT&T and Sprint struggle mightily.
RADIOS & ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Camp Tuscarora is a natural area, providing the opportunity for all Scouts and leaders with a safe
haven to “get away from it all”. Loud music can disturb this natural setting and infringe upon the
privacy of others. Any use of mp3 or other electronic device for music must be used in conjunction
with headphones.
15 | P a g eBICYCLES
Personal bicycles are allowed at camp. Helmets are required at all times with no exceptions. Riders
must be courteous to walkers. Walkers always have the right of way, especially on trails. Bicycles are
not allowed on the main camp road from the front gate to the headquarters building nor in the parking
lot where cars can be moving. After dark, bicycles are not to be ridden and must be walked back to
campsites. It is the responsibility of all adult leaders to insure Scouts are courteous and follow
directions. Remember, the use of a bicycle on camp is a privilege which if abused, will be revoked.
SKATEBOARDING
Helmets must be worn at all times with no exceptions. Knee and elbow pads must be worn at all times
unless a waiver is submitted by parents or legal guardian. Adult supervision will be provided in
compliance with safety guidelines. Levels for degree of difficulty will be assigned, and Scouts must
respect and follow all directions and rules of the adult supervisor.
CAMPSITES & ELECTRICITY and CPAP MACHINES
Campsites at Camp Tuscarora are primitive sites. Though most have a shelter and running water, they
do not all have electricity. For this reason, those needing to operate devices such as a CPAP machine
will need to make arrangements to bring a battery pack.
CLASSIC SCOUT CAMP WITH EXCITING PROGRAMS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR UNIT
Our program philosophy rests on a three-tiered foundation—Twilight Recreation, Scouting Progression,
and Unit Development. We aim to engage all ages in experiential learning and personal growth. The
following diagram represents our educational model for delivering a Classic Scout Camp with Exciting
Programs to Strengthen Your Unit.

With the center pillar, “The Scouting Progression”, we recognize that Scouts can be at different stages
of maturity, especially within the Scouting context. First year campers are taught the basics of Scouting
skills and fulfill many foundational requirements in the Tkahsaha Program (First Year Camper). We aim
to serve already accomplished Scouts with outdoor rank requirement programs, Merit Badges and
youth leadership requirements.
Unit Development is a critical aspect to unit health and leadership growth. The ever so important Youth
and Adult Leadership training will yield results in Unit operations. We offer Adult Leader Training
sessions every day, Monday through Friday, for your leaders to take advantage of while they are at
Camp.
16 | P a g eCHECK IN PROCEDURES:
We are continually working on ways to best expedite the Sunday check-in process to get you in to your
campsite and ready for camp as quickly as possible. We have an early/express check-in option that
will allow units to submit medical forms and waivers prior to arrival. We allow those units with a
Troop or Crew trailer to take the trailer to the campsite AFTER completing med-checks. If you wish to
expedite the check-in process and get your gear unpacked as soon as possible, please take advantage
of our early/express check-in option.
SUNDAY REGULAR CHECK IN GUIDE: These times, as well as the procedures listed below may change
depending on CDC and the state of NC mandated guidelines.
CHECK IN TIME BEGINS AT 1:00 PM. Please do not arrive prior to 1:00 pm - as the staff will not be
ready to begin the check-in process. Do not proceed to your campsite or any other areas on camp
without first checking in with our staff at camp headquarters. Units should plan to be at camp no later
than 3:00 pm. Any arrivals after 3:00 pm will likely not complete their swim checks and camp tours,
which might create issues later in the week.
Depending on participation, camper numbers, and potential guidelines from the CDC, the ACA, and
the State of NC, it is likely that we will need to implement staggered unit check-in times.
_______ Unit assembles in the camp parking lot; Unit leader and senior patrol leader reports to the registration
area tent just outside of the HQ building to check in.
_______ Meet with your unit guide and be sure you have all medical forms ready to turn in.
_______ Medical rechecks (at Handicraft Shelter). All Scouts and Scouters must go through the medical recheck
with the new Annual Health and Medical Record and COVID-19 at risk statement. Any scout or leader
that does not have the proper medical form and completed risk statement will not be allowed to take
the swim test or remain on camp until we receive the proper form. Be sure to have all the correct
signatures. (If bringing a Troop trailer, you will be directed to your campsite and the trailer will be taken
to the campsite at this time.)
_______ Camp staff will assist with transporting gear to your site if you do not have a Troop trailer or have your
gear loaded in a vehicle suitable to traveling on our roads.
_______ Inspect site with your unit guide; quickly make tent assignments; stow your gear.
Have the whole Unit change into swimsuits. Flip flops are not appropriate footwear at
Camp. Please bring Crocs or other water-shoes
_______ Swim Check: Buddy Tags for the waterfront area will be filled in following a swim check for proficiency.
Once colored, tags are to remain on the buddy board at the waterfront. Leaders should also plan to
take a swim check.
_______ 4:00 PM Camp Tour: All Scouts are to go on this orientation tour conducted by your unit guide.
_______ 4:45 PM Scoutmaster/SPL meeting— approximately 50 minutes of important information and updates
about Camp Tuscarora. This is a critical meeting.
_______ 5:30PM Begin unit’s movement toward the flag pole for evening flag. * Pending decision on assemblies
_______ 5:45PM -Retreat Ceremony – All Units assemble on the parade field. All Scouts should be in complete
BSA uniform for the retreat ceremony and dinner. * Pending decision on assemblies
_______ 6:00 PM Dinner
_______ 8:00 PM All Troops assemble at the amphitheater for the evening Campfire.
17 | P a g eEARLY/EXPRESS CHECK-IN OPTION AND PROCEDURES:
Troops that wish to take advantage of the early/express check-in option should:
1. Gather ALL completed and signed medical forms, (BSA Health & Medical Record 680-001, Parts A,
B1, B2 and C signed by your healthcare provider and a current; unexpired date.)
https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf
2. Gather ALL completed and signed activity waivers, (Page 51 of this guide.)
3. Gather ALL completed and signed COVID-19 at risk participant statement forms, (Page 53 of this
guide.)
4. Gather ALL completed prescription medication information forms, if applicable (Page 50 of this
guide.)
5. Complete the Unit Fact Sheet (Page 40 of this guide.)
6. Send us the names and mobile phone numbers of ALL leaders that will be attending summer camp
with your Troop (either all week or splitting the week) to Sarah.Fernandez@Scouting.org.
7. Log in to the Black Pug online registration and payment portal using the unique link you were
provided in your payment confirmation email and enter ALL Participants names, demographic data
and MERIT BADGE CLASS SELECTIONS (Merit Badge Class selections MUST BE ENTERED BY
06/01/2021)
8. Drop off or mail (only mail if your unit is out of Council please) all early/express check-in paperwork
for Scouts BSA Summer Camp at the Tuscarora Council Service Center beginning May 3, 2021, and
no later than June 4, 2021.
PLEASE NOTE:
If dropping paperwork off in person at the Council Service Center, please make sure you leave your
packet with a Council staff member, so they can secure them appropriately for our registration
team to pick them up and review them.
If mailing your express paperwork, please use a trackable, signature-required mailing or shipping
method as we regret that we will not be responsible for lost, damaged or delayed mail.
Once reviewed, a member of our Camp Tuscarora Summer Camp registration staff will contact the
unit leader to let them know if all information is correct and accounted for, or if there are missing
or incomplete forms. This should give the unit ample to time to submit any missing information
and/or complete any items that are outstanding. If all items are complete, the unit will be marked
as having completed express check-in and will be given an approval form to present to our camp
administration staff upon your arrival for your stay at summer camp for the week.
EARLY SWIM CHECKS:
For liability reasons, all of our unit swim checks must be conducted at camp by a member of our
aquatics staff. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, there is a possibility that we may be unable to
conduct early swim checks for our units this year.
PENDING STAFF AVAILABILITY, aquatics area readiness, and where we are with the pandemic, we
will be opening up slots for appointments for Packs to come out to camp PRIOR to summer camp
to complete early swim checks. More information on this process will be released as it becomes
available. Email notifications will be sent directly from our Black Pug portal to registered units.
18 | P a g eORDER OF THE ARROW—OA EVERY DAY
As the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America, it is only
right that the OA has a large presence at Camp Tuscarora. Here are just a
few ways that the OA is a part of everyday at Camp Tuscarora:
OA MEDICINE BOWL—Monday
All members of the OA, from all Lodges, are encouraged to come to the
Medicine Bowl on Monday night at 9:00 pm in the Dining Hall.
OA POW WOW—Tuesday
In the Dining Hall at 7:30 pm, members of the Nayawin RaR lodge will display OA Regalia, give
an introduction into ceremonial drumming, and provide a brief history and statement of
purpose of the Order of the Arrow. Only those that have been inducted into the Order of the
Arrow may attend.
OA Q&A—Wednesday
This is an opportunity at the Peacock Shelter at 7:30 pm for any Scouts that are interested in
joining the Order of the Arrow to ask some basic questions regarding the OA’s purpose,
activities, and structure. Of course, exclusive information only available to lodge members
cannot be shared.
In addition, any member of the OA that seeks to learn more about involvement, practice for a
future Brotherhood ceremony, or simply expand on their ties of brotherhood in the Order of
the Arrow will have an opportunity to do so here.
OA SERVICE CORPS—Thursday
Providing an hour of cheerful service to Camp Tuscarora on Thursday throughout the day. All
Arrowmen who would like to participate will meet at the Maintenance or Headquarters building
to carry-out this cheerful service project for the Camp. Service is open to any Scout that wants
to help cheerfully even if they are not in the Order of the Arrow.
OA CALLOUTS—Friday
OA callouts will be held at the Friday night campfire. All Nayawin RaR Lodge elections need to
be completed prior to camp. Senior Patrol Leaders will need to provide the Camp Director a
complete unit list by Tuesday’s after lunch at the SPL meeting of those to be called out during
Friday night campfire.
(Note: If you are not a member of Nayawin RaR Lodge 296, your home lodge must provide you
with written granted permission for a candidate to be called out during the program at Camp
Tuscarora.) This letter should be given to the Camp Director by Tuesday night and can be
delivered in person or via email to Sarah Fernandez at Sarah.Fernandez@Scouting.org.
* Please note that this schedule is a general schedule & subject to change based on CDC, ACA & State of NC
mandated protocols for summer camp operations.
19 | P a g eFRIDAY FAMILY NIGHT AND CLOSING CAMPFIRE
Camp Tuscarora, the Tuscarora Council, and the Boy Scouts of America
believe that Scouting is a character-building organization, and that this
concept should permeate our program to all levels, including skits and
songs. Inappropriate skit and song content are not permitted on Friday
Campfire. Skit submissions must be cleared with the Camp Program
Director by 5:00 pm Friday to be added to the Campfire program.
Because of the busy schedule a Scout maintains at camp, parents and
friends are urged not to visit camp until Friday but are still welcome.
Parking is limited, so carpooling is recommended. Parents should plan to
arrive after 5:00 p.m. We will do our best to have a camp staff member
available to direct parking for the night.
* Depending on where we are with the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not be able to have visitors
on camp for the summer of 2021 and there is a possibility that we may have to cancel family
night.
♦ Our Dining Hall facilities are closed on Friday night, and there is no meal provided by camp
for Friday night dinner. Units must provide their own Friday evening meal. Most units on
camp use this as an excellent opportunity for visiting parents and families to bring a dish for
a campsite potluck picnic-style dinner. Family Night dinners are a long-standing tradition at
Camp Tuscarora, and campers look forward to sharing their favorite dish or special treat
from home at the end of the week. (Invite a staff member to dine with your unit on Family
Night, they look forward to this tradition as well after a week of hard work at camp and they
enjoy meeting and getting to know our campers and units.) We also allow units to reserve
part of the Dining Hall, the Peacock Shelter, the OA Building, and the Tkahsaha Shelter on a
first come, first serve basis. * Depending on where we are with the COVID-19 pandemic, we may
not be able to have visitors on camp for the summer of 2021 and there is a possibility that we
may have to cancel family night.
♦ No pets are allowed in camp per national camp policy.
♦ All visitors must wear close toed shoes and follow all other camp rules (including no
tobacco use)
♦ All visitors must check in at the Camp Office in Headquarters upon arrival and departure at
camp.
♦ Please let your parents know that they will need to be prepared to walk from the parking
lot to your campsite. We will allow parents transporting large amounts of food to drop them
off at the campsite, but vehicles cannot remain at the campsites.
♦ Be sure to have your parents and families visit our NEW Satellite Trading Post Location –
The WAMPUS KITTY! Conveniently located at the top of the hill just above the amphitheater
and open on opening and closing nights of each summer camp session, make this your first
stop before finding a seat for the closing campfire and grab a snack, a soda, some Camp T
swag, a seat cushion or a fan and settle in for the ceremony and some serious
entertainment.
Please do invite your parents out for this special evening program. A Camp Tuscarora staff
supported campfire tops out the evening. The Units will provide most of the entertainment at
Friday’s campfire, so get your skits and songs ready before camp!
