5 Short Term/Weekend Camping Procedures The Bay-Lakes Council, Boy Scouts of America needs your help in following the procedures listed below. Youth Protection and Adult Leadership Guidelines Two-deep Leadership Two registered adult leaders or one registered leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings. The Chartered Organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities. For Cub Scout Outings: At least ONE adult must have completed BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation). A minimum of ONE adult is required to be Youth Protection Trained. It only takes a couple of minutes to become Youth Protection Trained. Go to log in or create an account. On the homepage, scroll down to see and click the Take Youth Protection Training Button. For Co-ed Outings: Appropriate adult leadership must be present for all overnight Scouting activities; even those including parent and child, require male and female adult leaders, both of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and one of whom must be a registered member of the BSA. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities. Respect of Privacy Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp, and intrude only to the extent that health and safety requires. Adults must protect their privacy in similar situations. Single-room or dormitory type accommodations for Scouting Units Adults must establish separation barriers or privacy zones such as a temporary blanket or sheet walls in order to keep their sleeping area and dressing area separated from the youth. Male and female leaders require separate sleeping facilities. Married couples may share the same quarters if appropriate facilities are available. Male and female youth participants will not share the same sleeping facility. When staying in tents, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other than his/hers parent or guardian. 4

6 Buddy System The buddy system is required for all aquatic activities and strongly encouraged for all camp outings. Assign a buddy to each person for the duration of the stay. Be sure all travel in and around the camp is in groups of two or more. Drug, Alcohol, 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 Bay-Lakes Council, 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 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 (see the Camp Ranger or Campmaster for designated smoking areas in camp.) All Council owned facilities are smoke free environments, including e-cigarettes. First Aid It is important that one person in each group be trained in the principles of first aid and CPR, and know how and when to put this knowledge to the best use. They should have a thorough understanding of the limitations of this knowledge. In addition, each group should have a first aid kit in their possession at all times. Reporting Injuries For any and all types of injuries, reporting them to the Camp Ranger or Campmaster is required. Each camp has a health log that is to be used when an injury occurs. Health logs are available through the Camp Ranger or Campmaster, who is responsible for recording any accidents. Annual Health and Medical Records Each BSA camper is required to have a health history on file with the Unit leader. This includes parents and non-scouts who may be in camp with a Unit. These forms are available at the Bay-Lakes Council, Center for Scouting or the Council website: Click on the Resources tab and then click the Forms & Resources menu. 5
