Cub Adventure Camp Rules & Regulations CHECK IN TIME WILL START AT 7:30AM ON SATURDAY, ALL OUT BY 11AM ON

SUNDAY

1. Camping areas will be assigned by the Cub Adventure Camp staff at check-in. There’s one fire pit per site, so the tables and fire pit WILL be shared with all of the packs in your site, and there WILL be a few. It’s not first come, first served, it’s all served with those things when they come. If you need more tables, ask. They are mobile. Don’t be a pig about it. Scouting is made of good people, right?

2. Parking is restricted to DESIGNATED AREAS (Main parking field and auxiliary fields). I think we’re pretty cool about letting you bring your car to the site on Friday and Sunday to unload. It’s supposed to be an outdoor camping experience. NO CARS IN CAMP AFTER 10:00AM ON SATURDAY. Please. We want you to have a pleasant weekend and hate being the bad guys always talking about removing cars. Remember that workout plan you had as a New Year’s resolution? We do. Carry something from here to there. It won’t kill you. If it does, we have a medical officer on duty and a shovel.

3. Children must be accompanied by an adult when in the bathrooms. Please help us keep the bathrooms clean. We use the buddy system, but when you send 2 kids to the bathroom, that just means they have help “redecorating”. It should go without being said that that at the Lyon Shower house/bathrooms (the big bathroom by the campsites), that boys and men should use the “boys” side and girls and women, the “women’s” side. So Moms, if you need to be in the bathroom with your young son, or Dads with the young daughter, please use the bathrooms in the Dining Hall, or down by the camp office, or on the road to the waterfront as they will give you, and everyone else the privacy needed. There, I said it.

4. DO NOT cut or disturb standing trees, bushes or shrubs. Erosion is a problem and your cooperation is required. Sitting trees are fair game. Disturb them all you want. Play them some of your kid’s music. Some of the lyrics are quite disturbing.

5. All buildings are off limits, unless otherwise instructed by staff. 6. Report all accidents, lost scouts, illnesses, damages and fires to the Cub Adventure

Camp staff, even if you don’t want the lost scouts back. You brought them, you have to bring them home.

7. The use of firearms, fireworks, archery equipment, and gas or air guns is strictly prohibited. No matter how cool that all would be.

8. Swimming, wading, bathing or entering into the lake is prohibited this weekend. If you want to get wet, take a shower, or just start running or exercising.

9. Fishing is permitted, except within 100 feet of the swimming area. It may be closed, but we don’t want hooks in our feet next year. A New York State Fishing License is required for anglers over 16 years old.

10. Dogs, cats, and other pets are not permitted in camp (except service dogs with papers).

11. At least two adults must be in attendance at the campsite at all times during occupancy by any child. A scout never enters another’s camping area unless invited, and never touches anyone else’s camping equipment or personal gear.

12. Camp fires shall be extinguished before going to sleep. No fires are to be left burning when leaders are absent from camp. Only one camp fire will be permitted


within a pack’s campsite under adult supervision. Keep fires under control. If you share your site with another pack, share the fire, share their company, just try not to mooch too much of their food. That’s annoying.

13. Keep the camp clean at all times. Put all trash in plastic rubbish bags. Keep your own gear in order. As a BSA member, you own the camp too. If you see trash, pick it up. It’s on your property. There are dumpsters behind the dining hall and in the lot by the camp office. Don’t leave trash out by the road.

14. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages or other controlled substances is prohibited in a scout camp and, therefore, violators will be asked to leave. It’s just 2 days. You can handle it. If you need emotional support or a number to call, see the staff.

15. Each Cub-Family participant must have a “Medical Information Form” (Under 72 hour) on file with their unit leader. Surrogate parent statement to be signed if appropriate. Moms – we know you have the info in your head. But what if you get hurt? Your husband has no clue when your birthday is, much less when your kid got a shot. That’s why we need the forms for ALL, not just your scout.

16. Sheath knives are not allowed in camp!!! 17. No radios, TV’s, stereos, tape players, Game Boys or other similar electronic

equipment are allowed in camp. Anyway, get with the times. You should have an iPod by now. Geez. Leave that in your car too though. When I was a kid, I actually had to spend time with my parents and talk to them. It was brutal. I got through it. You will too.

18. SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED in or near the dining hall. If you smoke while you are in camp, please do not smoke in front of the children. Do not litter the grounds with your butts. Yeah, I said butt. Stop snickering, that’s what it’s called. Find a receptacle to toss them in. Pocket them if you must. If you do smoke in front of the children, you must be on fire. If so, Stop, Drop, and Roll.

19. Bicycles may be used by any of our campers. A helmet must be worn by all riders regardless of age.

20. The most important thing you wear is a smile. You must still wear other stuff, so please don’t just wear your smile. We have rules against that. Just don’t forget the smile. And the other stuff you were going to wear anyway before you remembered that you had to smile too. Ok? Good. This got awkward for a minute.

21. Unattended children will be given lots of sugar and a free puppy and returned to you.

22. You always tell me you’re busy. This weekend, you’re stuck here and this is what you’re busy doing. Get in the game, sing loud and do something fun with your kids. You’re on vacation, so have fun with the kids! If you don’t look like you’re having lots of fun and participating, I’m going to give you a job to do. That’ll give you something to cry about.

23. Pokemon Go Pokemon Went. We don’t have any around camp, so there’s really no point in looking. When we were kids we only had the sticks to play with. And we were happy to have those sticks. And we had to walk uphill to the activities. Both ways. 5 miles. Oops, sorry. That sounded a lot like my father. When did I become my father? I used to be young, fun and cool. I wanted to stay that way and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for these meddling kids. Now we own a mini-van.
