There will be no meals provided by Camporee staff. Patrols need to be uniquely identified by name and have a flag and yell to demonstrate at each of the events. Units will be required to provide a roster of all Scouts and Scouters participating from their unit. The standard BSA medical forms are required at registration for all campers. The medical forms will be used to make sure everyone on your roster is accounted for, but will not be kept by camporee staff. Water is supplied by two wells. One is located at the north end of camp by the small meadow, and one is located at the south end of camp by the lower meadow. There is a Kybo/Latrine located within a short walking distance of every campsite. Some campsites are located within view of the Lewis River. No contact with the river, or any other body of water, is permitted. Scouts entering the river or other bodies of water WILL be sent home. Parking is available on site, with some over-flow parking at the top of the hill. Due to the limited space, please be considerate and bring only what is necessary as there may not be room for vehicles with trailers. Fires are not permitted outside established fire pits, with the exception of portable, above ground fire pits that are tall enough not to scorch the grass beneath them. If a unit uses portable, above ground fire pits, there is to be absolutely NO ASH left behind.
