We look forward to seeing you at Davy Crockett next summer.

Yours in Scouting,

Camp Davy Crockett Management

CAMP DAVY CROCKETT IS A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED CAMP WITH A 100% RATING

THE PURPOSEThe purpose of Scout camp is to build strength through day-to-day activities of pure Scouting for patrols, troops and most importantly for the individual Scouts. It is the policy of the Sequoyah Council, Boy Scouts of America, to provide the best possible camping experience to all Scouts, regardless of race, creed, nationality or religious preference.

CODE OF CONDUCTThe Code of Conduct at camp is simply the Scout Oath and Scout Law. If we try to adhere to these guiding principles, everyone will have the maximum amount of fun while at camp.

INFORMATION SUBJECT TO CHANGEWe have made every effort to include the most up to date information in this guide. However, depending on camp enrollment, staffi ng, changes in the national BSA program, and / or circumstances beyond our control; the information in this guide may need to be changed. These will be made at the discretion of the camp administration. If changes are needed, they will be announced in the Crockett Chatters, at check-in or during leader’s meetings.

Staff Week May 27 - May 30JROTC Week May 31-June 6Week 1 June 7-13Week 2 June 14-20Week 3 June 21-27Week 4 June 28-July 4Week 5 July 5-11

Provisional ScoutsScouts who are unable to attend during their unit’s week at camp, or wish to attend an additional week of camp (at a reduced rate of $125.00) should consider attending camp with another unit from their local area. The Scouts will likely know other boys from the troop, which will help him to have a more enjoyable week at camp. The Scoutmaster of the troop attending camp will be responsible for the Scout’s paperwork. If the Scout is unable to fi nd a unit to attend with, he can fi ll out the provisional scout form found on the camp’s website and send it to the council offi ce.

How to Make Reservations for CampTo make a reservation you need to fi ll out the campsite reservation form available on the camp website, send it to the council offi ce with your $100.00 campsite deposit. You may make a phone reservation, if the form and deposit are received within two weeks of making the phone reservation. The deposit will be applied toward the overall camp fees, but is not refundable.

Campsite CapacitiesCampsite numbers include both Scout’s and Leaders.

Campsite Capacity Campsite CapacityLower Badger 22 Upper Fox 30Upper Badger 12 Grizzly Bear 28Beaver 38 Moose 32Black Bear 48 Mountain Lion 42Bobcat 52 Owl 24Buffalo 50 Raccoon 38Lower Elk 24 Wolf 50Upper Elk 20 Wolverine 42Lower Fox 30

Please note that troops that exceed the assigned campsite capacity will be expected to furnish the additional tentage.

Leaders in CampAll units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. This policy is required by the Boy Scouts of America. All leaders must be registered members of the BSA, and must meet the qualifi cations for the leadership position in which they serve. The unit leader must be at least 21 years of age. Any additional leaders must be at least 18 years of age. Parents, committee members and other adults who accompany the unit to camp, must meet all of the above requirements. Any additional leaders above the free leaders will be charged $ 100.00 .

Leaders may rotate when necessary, however, we recommend having consistent leadership throughout your unit’s stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive infl uences of a week of summer camp.

Units that rotate leaders during the week, can fi ll a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the week. For example, one leader might stay the fi rst half of the week and another the second half of the week. If two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one leader-space and pay the fee for one leader-space.

Leaders should plan to share tents since the camp will only provide one tent for every two leaders.

Campsite RegistrationAs part of our goal to make our registration process as easy and effi cient as possible, we have contracted with Tentaroo to host our online camp registration system. You will receive a user name and a temporary password after you make your campsite reservations. This log on will allow you to sign up for classes & make payments using Visa, MasterCard & Discover.

Medical FormsAll Scouts and leaders attending camp must have a physical examination completed on the offi cial BSA Medical form (we cannot ac-cept any other physical form) prior to coming to camp. Scouts and leaders must have an annual examination. The examination must be by a physician licensed to practice medicine. These forms are available on our website www.campdavycrockett.org Please use the most current version of the form.

Each Scout and leader will have a health recheck as part of the check-in procedure. In accordance with the new federal HIPPA regula-tions, medical screenings will be completed discreetly to ensure privacy for Scouts and Leaders. The unit's medical forms will be kept on fi le for the week with the camp’s Health Offi cer. They will be returned to the unit leader upon check-out.

Please make arrangements for physical examinations before summer camp. Any Scout or leader who does not have a completed health form — including the examination — will be restricted from all camp activities until an examination has been given. There are no provisions for an examination to be given at camp. Also make sure that each health form has been signed by all parties in the appropri-ate places. Please keep a copy of each Scouts' physical for your records. If you have an individual treated off-site, please notify the Health Offi ce and secure a copy of the physical form before leaving camp.

Dietary ConcernsIf you have a special dietary need, you should notify camp personnel in writing of the specifi c concerns or needs. The camp manage-ment and cooks will contact you for accommodation.

CPAP MachinesElectricity is not available in campsites. CPAP machines MUST be battery operated. Arrangement will be made for recharging.

Health and SafetyA health facility is located in camp and staffed by persons trained to handle minor emergencies and illnesses. Camp Davy Crockett has made arrangements with area hospitals to take care of any serious injuries or accidents. The Health Offi cer should be contacted for any illness or injuries before anyone is taken to an off-site health facility. A copy of the health form from the Health Offi cer should be taken with you. Payment for services at any medical facility is the responsibility of the camper or his unit. If any treatment is required, the Scout’s parents will be notifi ed if at all possible by telephone to determine their wishes for emergency treatment.

Campers requiring a doctor’s attention or transportation to a hospital will require at least 1 adult member of the troop to accompany the Scout.

Leaders must be familiar with any existing or reoccurring health problems and all medications must be in the original bottle and should be stored and issued from the Camp Health Offi ce.

Out of council units MUST provide proof of insurance before camp arrival. The Sequoyah Council provides the insurance for all of its units. NOTE: This is secondary coverage.

Emergency and Safety ProceduresIn case of an emergency at camp (i.e. fi re, lost camper, lost swimmer, etc.), notify the Camp Director, Program Director, Camp Ranger and/or the Camp Medical Offi ce immediately. Where an emergency involving a camper is concerned, the appropriate Scoutmaster should be contacted. The medical offi ce is located behind the headquarters building.

In case of severe storms, severe lightning, wind or any other weather emergency, everyone will report to the nearest shelter until it is safe to return to your campsite. The alarm will sound, if it becomes necessary. STAY PUT until the all clear sounds, even if the alarm stops sounding.

ProgramInformation

Merit Badge ProgramThe merit badge program is the cornerstone of the summer camp program and Camp Davy Crockett offers a wide selection. Most merit badges can be completed at camp, however, there are a few that need some additional work at home because of time requirements, special projects, or other considerations. In addition, some merit badges require prerequisites or practice to develop profi ciency in specifi c skills.

It is a good idea not to overschedule your scouts. You should allow them at least one of the two open periods during the day so they can take advantage of the activities during those sessions. If they are in shooting sports classes, it will also allow them to have more time to qualify for their merit badges.

We ask that you only schedule 2 scouts in each of the limited classes and strongly urge you not to schedule several Scouts for the same merit badge during the same time block. Please make every effort to schedule Scouts for sessions throughout the day. We reserve the right to restrict the size of merit badge classes.

Scouts should have merit badge booklets for all merit badges being taken. Encourage Scouts to read the Merit Badge booklet and complete requirements that must be done prior to camp. Some merit badges require out-of-class participation/homework that is not listed as a prerequisite.

Age, Maturity and Skill Level

Please keep in mind that the unit leader is responsible for ensuring that all Scouts meet age, maturity and skill level requirements for all sessions. On the fi rst day of sessions, instructors will verify participant qualifi cations to ensure all required qualifi cations are met. Please note the programs listed that have specifi c requirements for enrollment.

Troop Program PlanningThere are 5 general types of programs in camp. Each should be looked at when planning your unit’s program. • Camp-wide activities - planned and run by Senior Patrol Leader (SPL). He should take part in the SPL’s Council, which meets

daily in camp.• Troop Activities - planned and run by the Patrol Leaders’ (PL) Council. We encourage the Council to meet daily • Patrol Activities - planned and run by each patrol in camp (meals, games, yells, etc.).• Scout-planned Activities - planned by a few Scouts - usually informal, fun events.• Individual Activities - things a Scout may want to do on his own (fi shing, free shoots).

The SPL’s Council is made up of Senior Patrol Leaders from each troop. They will meet daily and will be responsible for planning camp-wide activities in which the troops can participate. It is also a means of taking information back to the troop from the Program Director.

It is important that before each Scout comes to camp, he plans and discusses with the troop leadership what he would like to accomplish in camp. The PLC should use that information to help plan the program while at camp and to ensure that each Scout gets the most from the camping experience.

First Year ProgramCamp Davy Crockett’s First Year Camper program runs three rank specifi c classes. Each class will be taught in the morning and again in the afternoon. This is to allow participants to earn merit badges and work on other free time activities. The three classes will be Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class. Unit leaders should consider each Scout individually when deciding whether he should sign up for this program. If a scout has already earned a rank, please do not sign him up for that class. Please have the scout bring his Handbook (with the completed requirements up to date) each day to class.

The program is comprehensive and takes a great deal of time. Leader assistance is welcome. Scout leaders should allocate time each evening to help and encourage their First Year Camper participants. Scouts will also have the opportunity to participate in an overnighter Thursday evening under the supervision of our staff and unit leaders.

Please do not schedule all your Scouts for the same sessions and note that each scout should only take each class once, i.e. your Scout should not take both morning and afternoon Tenderfoot classes.

Frontier CampFrontier camp takes you back in time to live the life of a young Davy Crockett. It allows Scouts, Scouters, and parents to experience life skills and crafts that were common in the early 1800’s. Living in Frontier Camp has an atmosphere and camaraderie different from most traditional base camp experiences.

Participants will enter the 1800’s on Sunday afternoon and experience life as our ancestors knew it until they return to the 21st century on Saturday morning.

Each camper will be given a hunting shirt, which will be your uniform for the week. The shirt will be yours to keep.

The skills you will participate in are primitive fi re building, basic muzzle-loading, blacksmith, tomahawk/knife throwing, leatherwork-ing, traps/snares and rope making.

See the website for what items needed for this program.

Arriving At CampCheck-in

Units should plan to arrive at Davy Crockett between 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. Arriving as close to 1:00 allows for enough time to get you checked in, your camp tour and swim checks to be completed on Sunday. Arriving with your swimsuits on and ready for swim checks will speed up the check-in process.

Upon arrival to camp, immediately park in the headquarters building parking lot (Do not block the road). Scoutmaster should report to the Headquarters porch with a fi nal count of Scouts and leaders, registration changes and have copies of the unit’s medical forms and written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment.

The scouts along with assistant leaders should report to the chapel where they will receive a snack.

A guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. Everyone must have a current health form completely fi lled out. To best facilitate this process, all members of the unit are asked to arrive at camp at the same time.

Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during the week. Unit vehicles will be permitted into camp during check-in and check-out, for the purposes of loading and unloading of personal and unit equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 5 miles per hour. No vehicles including golf carts, will be allowed to operate in camp or be parked in the campsite after check-in on Sunday without permission of the Camp Director.
