5 III. Supervision, Medicals and Youth Protection The Boy Scouts of America requires two adults (one must be 21 or over) to accompany each troop, the entire time at camp. Generally, this is the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters, but other leaders or parents may also serve as camp leadership, if necessary. Scouts attending as a guest with another troop, do not need to provide an adult. The Maui County Council and the Boy Scouts of America require all adult leaders be Youth Protection trained within the last 2 years. We also recommend that the (acting) Senior Patrol Leader for each troop also have Youth Protection training. (Youth Protection Training Certificate can be earned on-line at At all times at the Camp-o-ree and while traveling to and from the Camporee, troops should follow the Youth Protection Guidelines set forth by the Boy Scouts of America. For more information about BSA Youth Protection Guidelines, please go to or contact your Boy Scout Council for assistance. Please remember that it is the number one priority of the Boy Scouts of America and the Camporee Staff, that youth are protected from harm and abuse. In Scouting we use the term, Safe Haven to describe the environment Scouting should provide. Please be sure all adults and youth attending this event understand the Youth Protection Guidelines. We recommend troops and parents view the Boy Scout-age youth protection awareness video, A Time to Tell, for boys and Personal Safety Awareness, for youth age 14-17, and hold a discussion, prior to attending. Youth Protections Guidelines Specific to Camporee 1. Two adults should be in the camp at all times. If two adults are not available, no less than one adult and two youth can be left alone. 2. Adults and youth, men and women, have separate sleeping and bathroom facilities. Privacy is and must be respected at all times. 3. Youth must always use the buddy system, in their campsite and when around the Camporee. 4. The location of Scouts should be monitored through-out the day (periodically) and throughout the night. 5. Any Scout or adult who displays or is suspected of unsafe or threatening behavior (words, actions, or otherwise) should be discretely removed from the situation, and immediately reported to the Camporee Chairman. 6. ALL LEADERS AND CAMP STAFF ARE MANDATORY REPORTERS OF CHILD ABUSE. As such, when a situation of abuse or suspected abuse is reported or witnessed, the leader or staff member MUST report it to the Camporee Chairman or Scout Executive. When the report is made to the Camporee Chairman, he/she next reports it to the Scout Executive and then to the Maui County Police Department and CPS, when applicable. Contacts for suspected, reported or witnessed abuse:

6 1. Report all incidents or suspicion to Scout Executive, Duc Buttons, immediately at 1(425) , or to on-site Camporee Chair. 2. Maui Police Department: Dial 911 or (808) Maui Child Welfare Services: Each Troop attending the Camporee, must have in their possession every participants Health form parts A, B and review the following: Receiving and reviewing the person s BSA Health Form Parts A, B with parent signatures Reviewing the person s allergies listed on health form Review and check-in medications listed on his health form. Emergency medications that need to be kept on the person, will remain with the person or the leader, depending on preference. Reviewing the person s restricted activities listed on the health form and Participation Consent Form At Check-in, we will ask the Scoutmaster, if he has everyone s Health Forms and also ask for a list of everyone that has any allergies or serious health issues. You will retain possession of all health forms for your unit. The Camporee will not be collecting them, we just need to make sure that you have them with you. All troops will be responsible for bringing your own first aid kits, and for providing your own first aid at the Camporee to your members. The Camporee will not have a medical staff, so it is important that every troop comes prepared. All injuries and/or illness that you treat, should be reported to the Camporee chair for records/insurance purposes.

7 IV. Events/Competitions There are 5 Patrol and 3 Individual competitions. Every patrol from each Troop in attendance, must compete in all 5 of the Patrol competitions. To win any competition, they have to try all 5. All Scouts, from every Troop, are encouraged to participate in the individual competitions, but failure to do so will not affect their Patrol. There will be 3 placings for all Patrol & Individual competitions, 1 st, 2 nd & 3 rd place. The Troop awards will be determined by a cumulative score of their uniform, camp set-up, camp inspection, breakfast, campfire & scout spirit. Extra points can be earned by tarp tenting and building pioneering projects. The awards are Presidents, Proficient, Standard & Camporee. This not a competition. All scoring is based upon a National Standard, and not judged against other units. Refer to the score sheets for more detail. The uniform and camp inspection will be based on the attached score sheet. The Camp set-up score will be based on how much the adult leaders and parents are involved This should be a boy run activity! The less adult involvement observed, the better the score. The Campfire score is based on participation, not content. The Breakfast competition is based on participation, content and presentation. Your entry (one per troop) must be brought to the Camporee Headquarters no later than 7:30am for judging. The Breakfast, must be prepared and cooked, by the Scouts on site See the attached score sheet for details. Scout Spirit is based upon your Troops overall cooperation, participation and behavior from check-in thru breakdown. This is an arbitrary score, the more your Troop cheers for everyone, helps others who are struggling and exhibits Scout Brotherhood, the better your score. The observations of all of the Camporee Staff will be used to determine your score. General Rules 1. All rulings by Judges are final and can only be over ruled by an appeal to the Camporee Chair. 2. Rulings may be appealed to the Camporee Chair only by the Senior Patrol Leader. No appeals will be accepted from any adult leaders. 3. All patrols must participate in all 5 patrol competitions, to place in any event. Failure to comply will result in disqualification in any competition they may have placed in. All Camp Sites must remain set-up until the Camporee Events/Competitions are over. Early breakdown, without permission from the Camporee Chair will result in penalties being applied to your Troop score. 4.
