Conclave Code of Conduct
As a member of the Order of the Arrow and participant at the 2021 Section C3B Conclave, I will:
       Observe the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, and the Obligation of the Order of the Arrow. I will also practice Scout Spirit,
        respect the rights of others, and act in the Spirit of brotherhood in dealing with all whom I may meet during the
        conclave.
       Wear my Scout uniform during the conclave when appropriate and required. For the afternoon activities, I
        understand I may wear a Scout t-shirt, or other scout related outfit as authorized.
       Attend all workshops that I have already committed to and participate in as many 2021 Conclave activities as I can.
       Confine trading and socializing to free time (non-workshops or prior to opening and closing ceremonies times) and in
        designated areas.
       Be responsible for breakage, damage, or loss of property incurred.
       Keep my quarters clean and dispose of trash in proper receptacles.
       Current BSA policy regarding tobacco: “An important way adult leaders can model healthy living is by following the
        policies on alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. Leaders should support the attitude that they, as well as youths, are better
        off without tobacco in any form and may not allow the use of tobacco products at any BSA activity involving youth
        participants. This includes the use of electronic cigarettes, personal vaporizers, or electronic nicotine delivery
        systems that simulate tobacco smoking.”
       Understand that use or possession of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs is in violation of the national policy of the
        Boy Scouts of America.
       Understand that gambling in any form is not permitted during the weekend.
       Understand that only authorized vehicles will be permitted on Camp Illinek property, and only during approved
        times.
       Understand that leaving Camp Illinek is not allowed during the Conclave at any time unless authorized by the Section
        Adviser or Section Staff Adviser, and only in cases of emergency or overriding cause. I further understand that
        leaving the camp for purpose of smoking, consumption of alcohol, or other unauthorized purpose may result in
        forfeiture of all conclave fees and violators of this policy may be sent home immediately.

The Lodge Chief and Adviser or designees are the only Arrowmen from each visiting Lodge needed to Check In at Registration.
Each lodge will be given a list of registered delegates from their lodge, special medical or accommodation needs on record,
credentials, guidebooks, and paid wristbands. The Lodge Chief and Adviser are to distribute all information and materials
from check-in to their lodge delegates. All delegates are expected to have the conclave credentials by Saturday morning
breakfast. These credentials serve as proof of payment and security. Illinek lodge members are assigned to guide and direct
delegates to their campsites. Delegates may proceed to their respective campsites following the instructions for traffic and
parking as provided. All delegates are encouraged to carpool as best available. Vehicle movement within Camp Illinek will be
limited. No parking is allowed in campsites.

Parking and Traffic
Special considerations, handicap needs, trailers, and buses need to be brought to the host lodge attention at time of pre-
registration. Colored parking permits will be provided for ALL vehicles. Dropping off campers and gear might be available
depending on traffic at the time, determined by the host lodge. See attachment in Appendix for paperwork required to be
submitted.

Lodge Historical Displays (Museum)
An impressive display of history from all lodges in our section will be featured throughout the weekend in the Lower Level of
the Sailing Center. You may bring any such memorabilia for others to enjoy. All items will be kept secured with the lower level
locked overnight. Drop off items of interest with the host lodge Friday night, and encourage others to visit this site.

                                                                6

may split the 50/50 bands as convenient based on the scheduling for each Arrowman. All meals are planned to be served in
the Dining Tent, located in the Camp Illinek Activities Field. Each Arrowman should properly dispose of all trash in the proper
receptacles. ALSO: Illinek Lodge will make available for sale ($5) some supper options Friday night, for those who might not
