CAMP SITE #: CAMP INSPECTION PACK#: 1. Pack Identification (flags or entranceway). Bring your American and Pack flag, display them on your site. Perhaps you have Pack Banner or make a sign. Construct a simple entrance fashioned with some timbers and lashings. If someone were to come by your site, it should be obvious who is here and where to enter. **Bring Pack Flag at Opening Ceremony**. None - 0 Fair - 5 Good - 10 2. Campsite properly laid out for site occupied. Study the site, find out where the fire pit has been or needs to be for safety (at least 10 feet from anything and not near overhanging tree limbs), Where can you line up your tents, so they look good and conserve space? Where is a very visible spot for the First-Aid area? What works best for cooking and dining and the equipment you are bringing? Most of these questions are answered on the spot, have your Set-up Committee on site first, before the tents go up. Suggest everyone unload and park their vehicles first, then set up camp. 3. Tents properly erected and lined up. Neatness and orderliness go hand in hand with safety 4. First-Aid kit properly displayed. Set up a very visible area with a large sign and perhaps a table to display the first-aid kit and supplies. Fast access to this is very important when it s needed. Check the kit for completeness and have it consistent with household AND camping needs. Latex or vinyl gloves are needed in this kit and for serious bleeding, eye goggles are needed. 5. Water Supply (Cooking and Drinking) on hand. Water supplies should be protected in closed and labeled containers if used for human consumption, the big yellow coolers are great for this. Being outdoors requires ample hydration, drink lots of water. Cooking clean up usually consists of a 3-bath method and you ll need water for that. 6. Pack Gear properly stored. All equipment should be stored when not in use, this could be boxes in an extra tent or under the kitchen serving tables. It could a separate area with a tarp to cover it. In any case, it should be neat and out of the way. 7. Food properly stored Food storage is critical. Proper temperatures and protection from the elements and the animals is looked for here. While serving the food, it should be sanitary and protected. Put foods away immediately after use. Bring plenty of zip-lock bags and plastic storage, as leftover will need to be handled properly, as well. 8. Personal gear properly stored Your personal gear should be in a container, in your tent, use a travel bag, backpack, or laundry bag. Inside should be as neat as outside. 9. Menu Posted (in each Den Area or at group meal site) In a common place, for all to see, Post a sign with the Menu, serving times along with related duty rosters. 10. Balanced Menu In the open air of camp, why not eat hardy and eat well? Plan a menu that supplies the food groups adequately with freshly prepared items. Easy things, like fruits, juice, milk, cereals, breads, cheese, etc. None - 0 Fair - 5 Good - 10 4/2/14 R1 page# 7
11. Dishwashing facilities evident Set up a separate area, near the kitchen area to independently clean dishes. Use the 3- bath method, a container with warm soapy water, next, a container with cool water with a touch of ammonia or sanitizing tablet, and last a hot clear rinse bath. Have on duty a dish scraper, washer and dryer person. Put the dishes and trash away immediately, everything will be done quickly if the cleanup team is set and ready to go. Centrally locate trash bins, close and store after each meal. Hanging a plastic bag on a rope in a tree, should keep the varmints out of it at night. 12. Fire Area in proper location Locate the former fire pits and use if possible or use Elevated Pit, only build a new one if absolutely unsafe or necessary. Outline the fire pit with large logs or rocks. NEVER leave your site with an active fire going!!! 13. Fuel Supply on hand and protected When using propane or liquid fuel stoves and lanterns, store the extra propane bottles and fuel in a well marked, safe and secure (locked) place. White fuel is no longer recommended but if used must have adult supervision. Liquid fuels for starting fires are prohibited. ONLY flashlights and electric lanterns are allowed in tents. NO Flames. 14. Fire Extinguisher required and Fire Water available near campfire The fire extinguisher rule is new, it should be very visible and available. A properly filled and certified home extinguisher will do. For more on this see: Unit Fireguard, No. 33691 15. Personal Washing Facilities evident Provide a spot for soap, clean water and towels for personal clean-up, especially before meals. 16. Cooking and Dining area clean and organized Set up a protected area for cooking, make space for food preparation, supplies, cooking and serving. Buffet style makes a lot of sense for larger groups. 17. Duty Rosters Posted (in each Den Area or at group meal site) In a common place, for all to see, Post the duty rosters. This would include all camp functions that have rotating assignment. 18. Woodyard and Tools therein properly safeguarded Set up an area that is roped off (preferably staked or on poles) where your wood and tools are keep. This area must be large enough for an adult to swing the large tool in any direction and not exceed the roped off boundary. No other area of the camp may have these types of tools. The bow saw and the long handled axe are the preferred Boy Scout cutting tools. Smaller tools are easier to get hurt with. Only one person is allowed in the ax yard at a time, Adult supervision is required. POINTS TOTAL 4/2/14 R1 page# 8
