5 Croatan Trails Cub Family Campouts General Information (cont.) Campsites Campsites will be on a first come first served basis.

Knives and Tools Cub Scout pocket knives may be used, at the Pack s discretion and within their campsite only, by cubs that are carrying their Whittling Chip and only under the direct supervision of an adult. Pocketknives found outside the campsites will be held by the Camp Staff and returned to the Pack at Check Out. All other cutting tools (hatchets, axes, saws, etc.) are to be used by ADULTS and secured, when not in use, under lock and key. Sheath knives are prohibited.
