NO alcoholic beverages. 3. NO fireworks, firearms, bow and arrow, etc. 4. NO pressurized fuel equipment (lanterns, stoves, heaters, etc.) unless you have taken the Greater St. Louis Area Council Training and have received your Toasted Chit and have it with you. Charcoal or wood is recommended for all cooking. 5. NO flames of any kind inside or near a tent. 6. NO heaters of any kind inside or near a tent. 7. Kerosene lanterns may be used to illuminate the campsite. However, battery operated lanterns are much safer and shed much more light. 8.

This creates a muddy mess in a very short time. 9. NO live trees may be cut. Please follow the Outdoor Code. 10. NO digging around any tents. Use proper pitching to avoid ditching. 11.

5 CAMPSITE INSPECTION - - A SCOUT IS CLEAN Half the fun of camping is learning to camp right. Several excellent books are available through Council or through your local library. Don t forget to ask within your own unit. You may have an Eagle Scout among the parents or leaders. These Scouters are a great source of information. Clean up is the responsibility of each Scout and leader who participates in the Spring Camporee campout. Before you can officially check out on Sunday, a staff member will inspect your campsite. After lunch the Camporee staff will be wandering through the field performing campsite inspections. What we look for are: Duty roster completed and posted, usually near or on the dining fly Menu completed and posted on the dining fly Fires a minimum of 15 feet from the nearest tent No unattended fires Medical kit easily accessible Leader s tent properly marked Tents set up in straight lines Food properly stored Cooking area neat and clean Hand washing station set up Gateway to campsite with Troop flag Creative interpretation of the camp theme Campsite is clean and well organized Any nifty or unique gadgets Proper use, display and storage of pressurized fuels and Toasted Chit cards!
