Shoes must not be open at the toe or sides. Sandals are allowed only at the showers, the Aquatics area, and Boating. It is not the role of the staff to be the uniform police, that is the role of the unit leader. Identification Each camper, adult leader and visitor must wear camp issued identification (wristband). Camp visitors will be issued identification bands when they arrive at camp. NO VEHICLES IN CAMPSITES - ONLY THE CAMP DIRECTOR CAN AUTHORIZE VEHICLES IN CAMPSITES... NO EXCEPTIONS!

8 Discipline And Adult Supervision The role of the camp staff is to provide the summer camp program and all of the other camp infrastructure needed to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay at camp. As with any unit outing, the adult leadership of each unit is responsible for the behavior of their Scouts. Please help the staff focus on program by watching your students and being available to deal with discipline issues should they develop. Fireworks The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the securing, use, and display of fireworks in conjunction with programs and activities except where the fireworks display is conducted under the auspices of a certified or licensed fireworks control expert. No unit or individual should bring fireworks to camp. DRUG, ALCOHOL, AND TOBACCO USE AND ABUSE The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances at encampments or activities on property owned and/or operated by the Boy Scouts of America, or at any activity involving participation of youth members. Adult leaders should support the attitude that young adults are better off without tobacco and may not allow the use of tobacco and/or vaping/e-cigarette products at any BSA activity involving youth participants. All Scouting functions, meetings, and activities should be conducted on a smoke-free basis, with smoking areas located away from all participants. (Ref.: From the Guide to Safe Scouting) Early Release From Camp There is a specific procedure that must be followed for Early Release from Camp. The Unit Leader, cade, and adult picking up the cadet must report to the Camp Office while it is open or the Health Lodge after hours to complete the form. Talent Release / Consent Given During camp, it is possible that photographs or recordings of camp participants might be taken. These photos might be used in camp promotion and report items, council publications or possibly region or national publications. No individual Scout will be identified in any of these photos. By default, attendees at camp grant the local council and the Boy Scouts of America the right and permission to use and publish the photographs/film/videotapes/electronic representations and/or sound recordings made of me or my child by the Boy Scouts of America, and I hereby release the Boy Scouts of America from any and all liability from such use and publication. Camp participants hereby authorize the reproduction, sale, copyright, exhibit, broadcast, electronic storage, and/or distribution of said photographs/film/videotapes/electronic representations and/or sound recordings without limitation at the discretion of the Boy Scouts of America, and they specifically waive any right to any compensation that they may have for any of the foregoing. If you do not agree with the above paragraph, or if you desire that your Scout or a Leader not be photographed or recorded while at camp, you must request (in writing) that we refrain from this activity. Please be prepared to turn in the written request naming that individual during check in. 8

9 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEDICAL INFORMATION The medical examination is of utmost importance to the safety of Scouts and Scout leaders while at camp. Three very important sections of the medical form are: 1. The Family Doctor They know if a Scout should have restrictions or prescribed medication while at camp. 2. The Family History The parents must complete this section in the event a camper is injured or becomes ill during camp. 3. In Case of A Medical Emergency This medical form should be specific about whom to contact, where they can be contacted, and include accurate business, cell and home telephone numbers. Health Lodge The Health Lodge has several qualified Health Officers and the medical equipment to handle all minor injuries, scrapes, bruises, etc. Any person with a serious injury or severe illness will be taken to the emergency room of the local hospital. The camp has made prior arrangements for handling emergencies. ANNUAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL RECORD REQUIRED (FORM ) Annual Health and Medical Records are required for all campers and leaders and MUST be signed by a licensed physician. Parts A, B and C must be completed. Health forms should provide specific instructions regarding emergency contacts that can be reached, where and at what time. This is very important. Important Note: Anyone who does not have a current and properly signed Annual Health and Medical Record will not be permitted to remain at camp. In Summary All campers must have the Annual Health and Medical Record Parts A, B, and C completed prior to camp. Certified and Licensed health-care providers recognized by the BSA to perform these exams include physicians (MD, DO), nurse practitioners, and physician s assistants. Note: Forms are available for viewing/download on the camp website ( after May 1 st. Additional copies are available at camp. Accident and Sickness Insurance - Required Each camper and leader should have his or her personal health/accident insurance carrier, company, and policy number printed on his or her health and medical form. The Boy Scouts of America - Council Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan provides secondary coverage for registered Scouts. The Atlanta Area Council provides insurance for all Atlanta Area Council - BSA units. NOTE: Out of Council units should plan to purchase their own coverage prior to camp, if they do not already have it. Your unit will be required to show proof of unit insurance at check-in. 9

10 TRIPS TO THE HOSPITAL OR DOCTOR Campers requiring the attention of a doctor or the services of a hospital should know the following information. It is the responsibility of the unit leadership to provide transportation for the unit member(s) requiring attention from a doctor or a hospital. One adult leader from the unit, and one additional adult leader, will accompany the unit member(s) requiring services and is asked to carry insurance forms in for completion. He/she must obtain the Scout s health and medical form from the Health Lodge before going to the doctor or hospital. Parents or guardians will be notified by the Camp Director immediately of any serious illness or injury. If parents will not be at home while you are at camp, have them advise you how they can be contacted. The Camp Medical officer must clear all cases requiring outside medical care. This is an agreement with the local health service facilities, insurance company, and claims procedure. Units are responsible for providing proof of insurance upon arrival at the Hospital or Doctor s Office. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION DOSING FORM - REQUIRED Utilizing the Prescription Medication Dosing Form, each unit should complete (prior to arrival at camp) a form for each unit member taking any prescription drugs. Use one form/sheet for each camper (make copies as necessary) with a prescription. The medication, dosage, and dosage schedule should be recorded directly from the prescription. Up to 6 prescriptions can be listed. Each unit should be prepared to show these completed forms at check-in to the Camp Health Officer, and then keep them updated throughout your unit s week at camp as medications are used. We will ask that you leave these completed forms (a copy will do) at camp when you depart. We will maintain them safely in the permanent camp medical files. All medication should be in a container issued by a pharmacist with the medication name and strength, the dose and dose frequency clearly marked on the container. Generally, all medication will be dispensed in the unit area by a responsible adult leader for the unit. Medication should be kept under lock and key in a locked box issued by the camp. Medication requiring refrigeration or injection may be kept in either the Camp Health Lodge or at the unit campsite. This medication may be dispensed by the Camp Health Officer or the unit leader. It remains the responsibility of the unit leader to assure that the scout is present at all of the appropriate times to receive his medication. Important Note: If an Annual Health and Medical Form indicates that an individual must have an inhaler, EpiPen or similar medical device, the health officer must confirm that the individual has the required item(s) in their possession. If the items are not in possession of the camper or leader, they must either obtain the items indicated on the form or the individual will be required to leave camp. 10

11 Emergency Procedures In any large-scale operation, there exists the possibility of emergencies. This procedure is to help the staff and leaders perform efficiently in any emergency and keep everyone informed. In the event of a serious situation, the Camp Director or Council Leadership are the ONLY individuals authorized to release information. Do not allow rumors to start they are not helpful. Keep Scouts under control In case of serious injuries, get names of witnesses, get all the facts and put it in writing immediately. Witnesses should NOT talk with anyone other than the proper authorities. Emergency Alarm Siren is located next to the Swimming Pool. Alarm: Continuous sound of the siren. Emergency Phone Numbers: Posted next to every phone in camp and on the information kiosks. What to do in response to emergency alarm: Everyone will go to the dining hall. The staff will provide specific instructions to you as necessary **Note: All units will be provided the most current emergency procedures on your arrival day.** Flammability Warning No tent material is completely fireproof. Tent material can burn when exposed to continued, intense heat or fire. The most important safeguard is to keep flames away from canvas materials. For this reason, the following safety precautions must be adhered to: Only flashlights and electric lanterns are permitted in tents. No flames in tents is a rule that must be enforced 11

12 GENERAL INFORMATION CAMPSITE ACCOMODATIONS All campers and leaders are housed in 12 x 16 BSA canvas wall tents. Tents are set on permanent wood platforms and each tent is equipped with four cots. In general, tents are arranged in groups of six with a pavilion and three tables. Tentage: The camp provides one tent per every four leaders, adjusting for male/female mix. Leaders should plan to share tents. Leaders wishing to have their own tent should make arrangements to bring one from home. DAMAGE TO CAMP EQUIPMENT We are very proud of our camps, and of our equipment. If you or your Scouts damage any equipment issued to your unit, you will be expected to pay for damages. Requests For Electricity Electric power is provided in the new Adventure Camp Campsites. Please note, we will not allow use of air conditioners, video gaming, microwaves, and other high-powered convenience items. They are designed for fans, electronics chargers, CPAP machines, etc. Bert Adams Scout Camp maintains there is not any obligation to provide power and upon determination and misuse/abuse will discontinue or limit usage. Limited access to electricity is available in the shower houses, the Scoutmaster lounge and most other permanent buildings in camp. A limited number of sites are close enough to a shower house such that an extension cord can be used for CPAP machines and other medical devices. Bert Adams does not supply extension cords. Campsite and tent platform assignments will be made in a way that best accommodates the majority of the troops attending summer camp. It is possible that adults requesting electricity may be assigned to a tent in a different part of camp, away from their unit. Accommodations are not available in the cabins, staff residences or other camp facilities. It is strongly recommended that anyone needing electric power come prepared with a battery pack and charger for their specific needs. Access to power will be provided for recharging the battery pack each day. Note: Electrical outlets in/near campsites should only be used for medical equipment. It should not be used for fans, coffee pots and other personal convenience items. Communications Effective and continuous communications between camp and unit leadership is essential. Communications begins with the Leader briefing on Sunday evening and continues throughout the week with regular Leader meetings. It is the responsibility of each unit leader to make sure their unit is represented at each of these meetings. Trading Post Bert Adams hosts a fully stocked, air-conditioned Trading Post carrying limited uniform items, equipment, merit badge books, handicrafts and snack items. Bert Adams Trading Post is not a National Scout Shop. The Trading Post is located in the lower level of the Love Dining Hall. 12

13 Early and Late Arrivals Units requesting to arrive either before or after the normal check-in time of 1:00 2:00 PM Sundays place an extra burden on the camp. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION Mail. Outgoing mail will be picked up each morning from the camp s program center. Incoming mail arrives in the afternoon and will be distributed each evening before dinner. Letters from home are one of the pleasures of life in camp. Be sure to let parents know that mail to campers should be addressed as follows: Participant Name Unit identification Bert Adams Scout Camp 218 Scout Road Covington, GA Valuables. Unfortunately, in the hustle and bustle of life in camp, losses may occur. Items such as radios, cellphones and I-pods should be left at home. The camp does not carry insurance to cover losses of personal items at camp, so each participant must take full responsibility for all items brought to camp. Please take precautions to guard your valuables while at camp. Here are some tips to help avoid losses: Advise participants to bring as few valuables as possible. Some units bring a locking trunk to camp to store all necessary valuables. Do not leave one or more participants at the campsite alone. Insist that your participants not walk through another unit s campsite or the staff campsite. Leaving Camp. All participants and leaders must notify the camp director and must check in and out of camp at the Program Center whenever they leave or arrive during the camping week. All youth who are leaving camp must have the written or verifiable permission of both his unit leader and guardian, and be officially checked out using the camp s Early Release form and procedure. Camperships A volunteer Scouting committee reviews all requests for camperships to Scouting summer camps. An extremely limited number of camperships may be available to JROTC units, if selected by the committee. Campership forms can be found at Requests should be sent to bertadams@atlatabsa.org. ARRIVAL AND CHECK-IN PROCEDURES Check-in will begin at 1:00pm on the first day (however, we ask that you not arrive prior to 12:45 p.m.). Please try to arrive at camp no later than 2:00 p.m., to provide adequate time for your youth to complete the afternoon activities. When you arrive at camp, watch for a staff member on the main road into camp who will provide directions. One adult from each school should check at the Love Dining Hall in at the registration pavilion to verify attendees and alert us to any changes. Be prepared to leave your unit s health forms with us at this time. A member of our staff will assist in getting everyone their first day schedule and in getting them to their campsite and tent assignment. When you arrive in your campsite, quickly unload and stow your gear. You ll have time later to set up your 13

14 campsite. As you move gear into your campsite, your staff guide will help you check your site equipment. If there are any shortages of tents or cots, your guide will make arrangements with the Ranger to deliver any items needed. Of course, after unloading, all vehicles must be moved to the parking lot for the duration of the week.
