illnesses, no matter how minor, should be reported to the Kinder Medical Lodge.
Persons with serious injuries or illnesses requiring hospitalization will be transported
to Parkland Health Center in Farmington. If an emergency occurs that requires calling

GATEWAY TRADERS
We have excellent camp stores in all of our camps!
Each Gateway Traders is stocked with an
assortment of patches, cups, merit badge
pamphlets, Scouting supplies, camp T-shirts,
toiletries, and snacks. There is no specific amount
of money a Scout should bring to camp, but on the
average, Scouts spend between $25 and $40,
depending on the purchase of supplies for merit
badges. Stores are open during program hours and
in the evenings. Credit cards are accepted.

WHILE AT CAMP
General Camp Safety Policies
The buddy system must be used at all times.
Fires should be put out when leaving the campsite. No fire should be left unattended.
Fire orders and severe weather procedures are posted in each campsite and should be reviewed with the
entire membership of the troop. Unit leaders appoint a fire marshal for their troop and review the
responsibilities of that position with the selected Scout on Sunday.
No one should be transported in the cargo section of trucks.
All buildings are smoke-free. Smokers, please smoke in a safe manner away from Scouts. It is
unacceptable for anyone younger than age 18 to use tobacco products of any type at any time during
camp.
Closed-toed shoes should be worn at all times while walking around camp. Sandals are appropriate for
the waterfront and the shower house.
The camp setting offers a great opportunity to observe plant and animal wildlife in their natural
surroundings. Scouts and adults must not feed or try to catch any wildlife. Problems with any type of
wildlife should be reported to the camp office immediately.
Upon departure from camp, all Scouts must leave with their unit leadership, parent, guardian, or an
individual approved by the parent or guardian. Written permission must be provided by the legal parent or
guardian to the unit leadership if a Scout may leave camp with someone other than those listed above.
This maintains accountability of all Scouts and provides for their safety.
Camp staff — under the guidance of their camp director — monitor camp for unauthorized persons. The
central camp staff and the camp rangers provide assistance.
Any questions or concerns regarding an unauthorized person should be referred to the camp director.
Those persons found not to be official guests of the camp or a Scout unit will be asked to leave and
escorted off the premises. Local law enforcement officers will be contacted if necessary.
Any problems or safety concerns regarding unauthorized persons should be referred to the camp director.
Youth Protection Resources
The protection of youth is the primary obligation of every individual involved in the Boy Scouts of
America — including leaders, parents, members and professionals. The BSA has been and will
continue to be vigilant in its efforts to create barriers that help prevent abuse and to recognize
and report child abuse regardless of where it occurs.
Scouts First Helpline
As part of the BSA’s “Scouts First” approach to the protection and safety of youth, the BSA has
established a dedicated 24-hour helpline at 844-SCOUTS FIRST (844-726-8871) to receive reports
of any known or suspected abuse or significant violations of youth protection policies that might
put a youth at risk. The helpline’s goal is to provide immediate assistance to ensure that the victim,
unit, and council are fully supported and the actions taken are properly documented. The call is
answered by a live person - day or night - by a direct National employee from the National Incident
Reporting office. All information is kept confidential byNational who then will inform the local
council Scout Executive.

Wayfinder Program for 1st Year Campers
The Wayfinder Program is the redesigned program for Scouts who have
recently joined a troop or have just crossed over from Cub Scouts. This
program replaces the Voyageur program of previous years. In Wayfinder,
new Scouts are immersed in the Scouting Program and the patrol method.
Scouts will learn the patrol method and basic Scouting skills, and
experience some of the many programs available at summer camp.
Scouts may now register for individual rank sessions based on their needs.
Sessions are divided into Scout and Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First
Class. Each session is one hour long and meets Monday through Friday in
Moreno campsite.
Like merit badge registration, you can select the sessions that each scout needs,
or select “All Sessions” to automatically enroll in the sessions for each rank (i.e. the
full program).
Merit badges are no longer automatically included in the program. Depending on the number of rank sessions in
which the scout is enrolled, he or she may register for 3-5 merit badges of their choice. The rank sessions have
been scheduled to offer at least one Swimming merit badge session at a non-conflicting time.
There is no additional fee for the Wayfinder program.
Leaders with more than five Scouts in the Wayfinder program are asked to assist by providing adult supervision as
they have time available.
