3 Dear Unit Leaders and Parents: Welcome to Cub Scout Summer Camp 2014 This guide has been prepared for Cub Scouts and adults who are going to participate in one of the Cub Scout camping programs of the Greater Western Reserve Council this summer. It has been designed for your use before and after you arrive at camp. Many questions will be answered as you review these pages, so please read them carefully. Cub Scout camp is run purely for FUN. At the same time, it s our hope our Cub Scouts will learn new skills, begin new adventures, meet new people and make new friends. The Law of the Camp is the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack as taught through the basic fundamentals of Scout camping with the ideals of Scouting (character building, citizenship training and fitness) always kept in mind. Please note, however, that camp fun is not limited to Cub Scouts. This is a great way for parents to share quality time with their Scout son(s). It s an ideal time for them to get to know their son s friends and their parents. Camp is a great place for Cubs and parents alike to meet people with whom they share a common bond...scouting! Each camp is operated according to the National Standards of the Boy Scouts of America. Manuals are created for each camp listing Cub Scout safety policies and procedures with specific details for that particular camp area. All Camp Directors and Program Directors hold current BSA National Camp School certificates. At Resident Camp, the Aquatics Director also holds BSA National Camp School certificates.

4 Prepare for your Summer Camp Experience Read Every Word In This Guide! Experience tells us everyone can learn something new, whether it is your first time at camp, or you have attended many other events at Camp Stambaugh. Hold a parent information meeting! Review the contents of the camp guide, especially check-in times, the packing list, and registration information. Every question is important and needs an answer. If you cannot find the answer contact the Coleman-Miller Service Center at or Camp Director Charles James at CampDirector@bsa-gwrc.org. You may also contact, Professional Staff Advisor, John Brkic at john.brkic@scouting.org. Assign a camp coordinator (adult) for your Pack at each Camp Session. There's more to camp than advancement! Boys typically remember how much fun they had at camp, not how many rank advancement items or awards they earned. While camp provides advancement opportunities, the Greater Western Reserve Council Cub Camping Committee, emphasizes having a balance of advancement and age-appropriate FUN! o To help your Scouts with advancements prior to coming to camp, remember to do some of the requirement work, during your Pack and or Den Meetings. Encourage the boys to attend camp! Even if a Cub Scout has taken part in some of the planned activities before, they will still have a great time at camp. Every year or event is a new experience; let him enjoy the time to have fun in the outdoors with friends who share the same enthusiasm about Scouting! Enjoy the camp and the outdoors! Explore camp during free time. Take the time to enjoy the great outdoors and the beauty of camp. It is a big part of the Camp Stambaugh History and Experience. Come to camp prepared! Help the boys, leaders, and other parents get organized with information on where to go and what to do. Review the list of what to pack, along with what not to pack. Be Flexible! Not everything goes exactly as planned. "Planned" activities may need to change for a number of reasons. Go with what the staff has to offer. Have Fun! Cub Scouting is a game, and, if played by the rules, is enjoyable for all. Maintaining a Positive Attitude goes a long way in helping the Scouts to stay focused and able to look back on all that has been accomplished during camp.

Two-deep leadership is required on all outings. One-on-one contact between adults and Scouts is prohibited. Separate accommodations for adults and Scouts are required. Inappropriate use of cameras, imaging, and digital devices is prohibited. No secret organizations. No hazing. No bullying. Youth leadership is monitored by adult leaders.

Discipline Each Unit will act under its own adult supervision at all times. Unresolved disciplinary problems shall be reported to the Camp Director immediately. Under no circumstances shall a Scout be deprived of food, isolated or subjected to corporeal punishment as a means of discipline.

13 Camp Staff ID All regular camp staff members will wear photo identification cards in plain view at all times while in camp. Scout ID All Scouts (youth and adult) will be issued a non-removable color-coded bracelet for use while in camp. They will be issued at check-in and are to remain in place until the Scout has left the camp property. Lost ID s will be replaced for a fee. New ID s may be secured at the Camp Office.

Personal Health and Medical Record A health history and a physical examination conducted within the past twelve months, is required of each Scout and adult. No matter how old you are you will use the same medical form. We suggest you have your physician keep a copy of the medical in their records so, should something unexpected happen, their office could fax a copy to camp at the last minute. Medical records are kept by the Health Officer and will be returned to the unit at the end of the camp session. Overnight and Cub Resident Camps require only parts A and B. Webelos Resident Camp requires parts A, B and C. All participants in camp (including leaders and overnight guests) must present evidence of a current medical examination.

Emergency meds for those with insect allergies and asthma may be carried on the person, but must be registered with the Health Officer.

14 Bring only a one-week supply of medication...but make sure to send it in the original container with labels intact. Over the Counter Medications We utilize an Over the Counter Medication program for medication that may possibly be required by a Scout for things such as upset stomach, headache, insect bites, etc. In order for the Health Officer to dispense such medication, it is necessary to have an OTC form signed by the Scout s parent or guardian on file. Available medications are listed on the form. This form may be found online at BSA-GWRC.org along with other camp forms. First Aid Station An individual trained in first aid will be available at all times. For emergencies, the Scout will be transported to a nearby hospital where a physician is on duty. All registered Scouts are covered by minimal accident insurance (which is secondary to the family s own insurance plan). Report all injuries to the Health Officer immediately. The Camp Health Officer and First Aid Station is available 24hrs a day. A doctor will be on call (for consultation) during camp. Buddy System The Buddy System is a way for Scouts to look after one another, especially during outdoor adventures. The system allows for scouts to keep track of each other during their time in camp. Help your Cub Scouts to learn and use the Buddy System. This is a safety procedure that protects the Scouts and helps the unit leaders monitor unit activities as well. Any lone Scout will be asked the location of his buddy. NO Alcohol, Drugs, Stimulants or Concealed weapons permitted. It is the policy of the Greater Western Reserve Council that under no circumstances shall alcohol or any illegal controlled substance or fire arms, be brought onto, held in possession, or consumed on any camp property. Any violation of this policy shall be cause for immediate removal from camp as well as referral to the appropriate legal authority. The Council reserves the right to require testing of those suspected of the use or abuse of such substances. In addition, those who knowingly withhold information related to the use and/or possession of alcohol, or a controlled substance or fire arms on camp property shall also be removed from camp. The above policy and consequences so noted shall not be open to arbitration or negotiation. Uniforms At camp the official Cub Scout Uniform is appropriate dress at any time during the week.
