3 A message from the Camp Leadership Dear Adult Leader, Thank you for taking on the responsibility of preparing your Pack for summer camp at Cub Scout World, Camp Rokilio. This summer there will be countless opportunities for the Cub Scouts and Adult Leaders to try new things, build character, and have fun making memories that will last a lifetime! The 2017 Summer Camp Leader s Guidebook has been created to make the camping experience easier for you. It will help answer questions and be a great resource as you prepare for your Pack s summer camping experience at Rokilio. Please take some time to read the Leader s Guidebook in order to gain a better understanding of what you can expect prior to and upon arrival at camp. This guidebook contains all of the necessary forms that each person will need to fill out and have signed by a parent or guardian in order to attend summer camp. I want to draw your attention to the Medical forms, which are required each year for all Scouts and leaders, but only parts A and B need to be filled out and upon arrival and that there is a collection of all medication for campers under 18 years of age who will be attending camp. This year the Camp Rokilio staff will be working hard to implements the new changes to cub scouting into the camp programming. The camp will be offering opportunities to work on cub scouting adventures at camp while still offering camping staples such as shooting sports and the water front. If you are not the leader who will be using this book to prepare for camp, I ask that you make a commitment to get it to the adult in charge that is planning to be at camp with your Pack. The Camping Committee, Bay- Lakes Council Program Department, and the leaders who will be with you at camp would appreciate this. If you need or want additional copies, you can download the book from the council s web site at or contact the Program Department at the Center for Scouting at (920) Yours in Scouting, Michael Thunes Shannon Ash Camp Director Reservation Coordinator (920) (920)

4 Facts for new or returning Leaders / Units With your registration, you will receive a T-shirt for all full-time session participants. Make sure to complete your Units order in full on the reservation form in order to receive your T-shirts! Theme buildings have youth and adult capacities. If adult capacities are exceeded, tents will need to be setup in the overflow area outside of the building. We encourage lots of enthusiasm in the Dining Hall during meals, so please join in on the fun! If any campers have food allergies or special dietary needs, please complete the diet request form and send directly to camp no later than 2 weeks before your Unit arrives at camp. The health forms, parts A & B, that you turn in will remain at camp after you leave. So please provide us with copies and retain the originals. Want an Order of the Arrow, Kon Wapos Award patch? Drop in at the camp office for more information on the service projects available. Tiger Cubs are permitted to attend Cub Scout Resident Summer Camp! Preparation Timeline A schedule for Unit planning Right Now If you haven t already, submit your Unit s reservation and deposit to secure space in the theme building of your choice. Inform all Scouts, Scouters, and parents about your Unit s summer plans. Secure a minimum of 1 adult for every 4 Scouts attending. Note: A minimum of two-deep leadership is required. One of the required adults, must be a BSA registered adult. Schedule a promotional presentation for your Pack by contacting Mike Alberts at the Center for February April May Scouting, (920) Take note of the payment plan and be sure to stay on track with the due dates. A roster of names of Scouts and adults attending camp is due by February 1. Turn in all Campership Applications to the Bay-Lakes Council Office by March 1. Total camper costs are due by April 1. All T-shirts orders must be submitted before April 15. We cannot guarantee correct T-shirt sizes to participants added to the roster after that time. Attend the Summer Camp Preview Webinar to learn about our exciting programs and services. Send out reminders to all parents including a list of what to bring. 3

5 Many Units hold a parents meeting or camp promotion night. This allows parents a chance to ask questions and learn about your Unit s summer camping plans. Two Weeks Before Camp Open and review the final billing statement sent to the Unit Camp Coordinator for any last minute additions/updates. Complete special diet request forms for all Scouts and Adults requiring special meals. Send completed forms directly to camp! All completed Health and Medical forms are to be sent directly to camp. Ensure that we will be able to keep a copy. Make certain health insurance cards are attached, any medications are listed, and parental/guardian signatures are obtained on each necessary spot on each participant s form. Health forms sent in ahead of time must have the Pack number and camp session date listed on the envelope or note included with the forms. Prepare multiple copies of your Unit roster for your Unit leaders attending camp. Several Days Before Camp Complete the final check on transportation to ensure everyone has a ride to and from camp. Carpooling when appropriate, enables your group to check-in more quickly and efficiently, and also helps at camp as parking space is limited. Remind the Scouts of the behavior standards necessary for a Scouting trip. Remind the Scouts to pack a lunch for the day you arrive unless you plan to stop. Plan to arrive between 2:00-4:00 p.m. with swimsuits on. Right Before You Depart Collect any remaining medical forms and ensure everyone has their medications in their original containers with a label containing the Scout s name and medication times. Preparation Suggestions We strongly suggest you follow these in your planning Leadership The adult leaders (one of which needs to be BSA Registered) who will be staring at camp should have some camping and Scouting experience. Youth Protection training is also required of every adult leader. Have one additional leader, 18 or older, for every 4 Scouts. 4

6 Arrival Have participants come to camp wearing their swim suits and ready to complete a swim check during the check-in process. A staff guide will be assigned to your group at arrival and will help unload your equipment and escort the Pack to your theme building. One or two carts per Cub Scout Pack will be provided; however, consider bringing an additional cart, wagon, etc. to limit the number of trips. Have a copy of all medical forms available to turn in to camp to keep. If you mailed in the medical forms, they will be at the medical recheck station. (Bringing copies of all forms mailed to camp is also highly recommended.) Medications should be ready to be turned in, in their original prescription container. An orientation on dining hall seating, feeding and setup/cleanup procedures will be conducted. The Unit will then proceed to the waterfront for an explanation of safety and proper conduct rules as well as their individual swim test. Campers return to their program theme building to finish settling in and changing into their uniforms for the evening retreat and meal. Swim Tests To be a swimmer or not to be, that is the question? All youth and adults wishing to use the waterfront or be involved in boating activities (one certified swimmer must be in paddleboats when in use), must complete a standardized swim test. Upon completion, they will be classified in one of three categories; swimmer, beginner, or non-swimmer and will be issued a color-coded buddy tag. This tag must be used every time the person enters the swimming or boating area. The color of the buddy tag determines what part of the swimming area he/she may be in. Guidelines for classification are listed below. Non-Swimmer: White Tag, No test Beginner: Red/White Tag, 50 yards as follows: Enter the water by jumping feet first into water over your head. Using an approved swimming style (breast, crawl, trudgeon, or side stroke), swim 25 yards in one direction, stop, turn and swim 25 yards back to the starting point. Swimmer: Red/White/Blue Tag, 100 yards as follows: Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes; side, breast, trudgeon, or front crawl. Swim 25 yards using a resting backstroke; show you can float, or of not buoyant, with just enough motion to stay afloat. 5

To speed up check-in, you may send copies (NOT originals) of all medical forms to camp two weeks prior to your arrival.

Medications- labeled container must contain the following information: Camper s name, Name of prescribing physician, prescription number, date prescribed, name of medication, and directions for use.

For medication disbursement, the Health Office will be open a half-hour before and after each meal. Individual arrangements can be made if necessary. Please ensure that your Scouts are responsible in this matter. We recommend that one leader be responsible for ensuring the Scouts receive their medication when they are supposed to. If the Health Officer is not in the Health lodge, report to the Program Center or use the radio left by the door. 24 hour medical clinics and emergency services are less than 5 miles away in the town of Kiel. The camp has a written agreement with those medical staff s regarding emergencies in camp. Inherent Dangers Everyone should be prepared for potential problems that are out of the control of the camp. There are a lot of natural hazards like rocks, roots, and branches that may cause injury if not cautious. To avoid lost or stolen items, leave your valuables at home or have them stored securely in vehicles. 10
