Tuscarora Council, BSA

Thank you for choosing to participate in the exciting, fun summer resident camp opportunities for Cub Scouts and Webelos at Camp Tuscarora. Some of you may have joined us before during Cub Weekends, at Day Camp, or at Camp Tuscarora before. We can guarantee that your child will have a great outdoor summer camping experience with us! Our camp directors have been hard at work recruiting and training a top-notch, quality staff to deliver an outstanding and memorable program. Participating in our outdoor programs is a great place where you and your son or daughter will have fun, meet new people, and discover new things all at once. You and your child will have a great family experience and build memories that will last a lifetime.

This Camp Guide provides all of the information you will need (and then some) to have a good time and be prepared for your camping experience. If we can be of any assistance before camp starts, please do not hesitate to contact the Tuscarora Council Service Center at 919-734-1714. We look forward to a fun-filled session with you and your Pack this year at Camp Tuscarora. On behalf of the Council Camping Committee and the entire Camp Tuscarora Staff we can’t wait to see you this summer!

Yours in Scouting,

Sarah L. Fernandez Sarah Fernandez Tuscarora Council Program Director - Camp Tuscarora Camp Director

Camp Registration and Fees

Registering for Cub Resident Camp:

We are ready to get you and your Pack signed up for Cub Resident Camp 2020. To start your registration process, please visit https://scoutingevent.com/424-29428 and sign up today!

Registration and payment is available online only through the Black Pug online registration portal. The Camp Director will make any approvals to accommodate a Pack for a particular week and camp site. Some campsites may be limited due to unit size and prior availability.

**Note: To ensure each individual youth gets the same attention and experience, space is limited, and reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. When making your

reservation please provide us with the most accurate estimate you can of the number of youth and adults you will be bringing, as well as any other health, logistics, facilities or transportation concerns regarding your campsite. **

Registration can be done as a Pack, or by provisional families that wish to be placed with a host Pack. There are two sessions of Cub Resident Camp for your unit to choose from. Packs are encouraged to start registering early. For questions about camp or assistance with the registration process please contact Sarah Fernandez at 919-734-1714 or Sarah.Fernandez@Scouting.org.

All registrants MUST sign up for adventure sessions or other available classes and

these selections must be entered no later than June 1, 2020. Leaders will need to use our online registration and payment portal through Black Pug. The site for general registration is live now, and class selections will be available on or before March 1, 2020. Class choices must be selected and registered through this system prior to your unit’s arrival to camp. Camp arrival day on-site class registration and selection at check-in is not available.

Who May Attend:

All registered Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and AOLs may attend Cub Scout Resident Camp. Registered leaders and parents may serve as Pack leadership at camp.

Leaders in Camp:

All Packs must have at least one adult for every three Cub Scouts attending. Adults attending may be registered leaders or parents in the Pack. Every Pack that attends must be under the supervision of its own adult leadership at all times. A minimum of two-deep leadership is required at all times. Unit leaders are in charge of their pack at all times, and responsible for the discipline and organization of the pack. It is never the camp staff’s task to take over your role as leader of your unit.

General Information

Medical Forms (required for ALL youth and adults):

Every Scout and adult must complete an Annual Health and Medical Record prior to camp. For Cub Scout Resident Camp, BSA Health and Medical Record Form 680-001 - Parts A, B1, B2, and C will be required for all participants. Every camper must have all parts completed for their medical record. Anyone arriving at camp without the proper medical form and appropriate signatures as stated above will not be allowed to participate in camp programs.

Medical Treatments and Medication: An emergency medical technician is on duty at all times and a physician is on call 24 hours a day. Every Scout and adult must have an annual health history form completed prior to camp. All treatments are given at the health lodge except in an emergency. All injuries and illnesses, minor or severe are to be taken to the health lodge. Serious injuries or illnesses must be reported immediately to the camp director. If a scout becomes sick (cold, flu, virus, etc.), we will ask that he be sent home, to prevent others from becoming sick. The camp medical technician will collect all medications during check-in and administer them appropriately at the health lodge. Exceptions must have prior approval of the medical technician. All youth medications must be accompanied by written permission from a parent or legal guardian. All participants using inhalers and/ or epi-pens must have them on their person at all times. Youth participants must have written permission from their parent or guardian to carry an inhaler and/or epi-pen themselves; otherwise it must be carried by an adult who must accompany that youth at all times while on camp.

Activity Control Form and Waiver:

Every Scout must have an activity control form filled out by the Scout’s parent or guardian. This form is made available so parents or guardians can select which potentially hazardous activities their minor child will be allowed to participate in. All Scouts must wear knee and elbow protection. All Scouts are required to wear a helmet when participating in skateboarding, BMX and general bicycle use around camp. Scouts who attend without this signed form will not be allowed to participate in the activities.

Buddy System: The buddy system should always be used while at Camp. Buddies can be fellow Scouts, a Scout’s parent, or the entire Pack. NO ONE should ever go anywhere alone!

Den Chiefs and Siblings: If a Pack has a Den Chief or sibling in camp, a $60.00 fee will be charged. Please be aware that the fee charged is for food and insurance; this does not include craft or program supplies used during the activity sessions. Those materials are for Cub Scouts only. Please note that a Den Chief does not qualify as an adult leader to accompany Scouts to each of their activity areas. A registered Scout age 13 years or older can become a Den Chief.

Check-In:

We are continually working on ways to best expedite the unit check-in process to get you in to your campsite and ready for camp as quickly as possible. We have an early/express check-in option that will allow units to submit medical forms prior to arrival, and the possibility to visit camp prior to your unit’s stay to complete swim checks. We allow those units with a Pack trailer to take the trailer to the campsite AFTER completing med-checks. If you wish to expedite the check-in process and get your gear unpacked as soon as possible, please take advantage of our early/express check-in option.

Express Check-in Option and Procedures for Packs:

Packs that wish to take advantage of the early/express check-in option should:

1. Gather ALL completed and signed medical forms, (BSA Health & Medical Record 680-001, Parts A, B1, and B2 and C signed by your healthcare provider and a current; unexpired date.) https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf

2. Gather ALL completed and signed activity waivers, (Page 20 of this guide.)

3. Send us the names and mobile phone numbers of ALL leaders that will be attending Resident Camp with your Pack (either all session or swapping in and out) to Sarah.Fernandez@Scouting.org.

4. Log in to the Black Pug online registration and payment portal using the unique link you were provided in your payment confirmation email and enter ALL Participants names, demographic data, Cub Scout ranks, and CLASS SELECTIONS (Class selections MUST BE ENTERED BY 06/01/2020!)

5. Drop off or mail (only mail if your unit is out of Council please) all early/express check-in paperwork for Scouts BSA Summer Camp at the Tuscarora Council Service Center beginning May 4, 2020, and no later than June 5, 2020.

PLEASE NOTE:

If dropping paperwork off in person at the Council Service Center, please make sure you leave your packet with a Council staff member, so they can secure them appropriately for our registration team to pick them up and review them.

If mailing your express paperwork, please use a trackable, signature-required mailing or shipping method as we regret that we will not be responsible for lost, damaged or delayed mail.

Once reviewed, a member of our Camp Tuscarora Summer Camp registration staff will contact the unit leader to let them know if all information is correct and accounted for, or if there are missing or incomplete forms. This should give the unit ample to time to submit any missing information and/or complete any items that are outstanding. If all items are complete, the unit will be marked as having completed express check-in and will be given an approval form to present to our camp administration staff upon your arrival for your stay at summer camp for the week.

8 | P a g e

EARLY SWIM CHECKS:

For liability reasons, all of our unit swim checks must be conducted at camp by a member of our aquatics staff.

PENDING STAFF AVAILABILITY & aquatics area readiness, we will be opening up slots for appointments for Troops to come out to camp PRIOR to summer camp to complete early swim checks. More information on this process will be released as it becomes available. Email notifications will be sent directly from our Black Pug portal to registered units.

* This swim check option is only available to units attending Camp Tuscarora this summer.

If there are any issues with your Pack’s paperwork or any missing or incomplete items, we will notify the Pack leader well in advance of your arrival day so there will be time for any corrections and submission of missing items.

Check-In at Camp:

Check-in will begin on arrival day at 1:00 pm. Please do not arrive prior to this time as our staff will not be equipped or prepared to assist you until 1:00p. Per our liability policy, no one is allowed in campsites or camping areas until they have completed the check-in process and all required forms have been submitted and verified. To help expedite the check-in process, Packs are requested to send only one or two leaders to the camp office at Headquarters to check in the unit. If your Pack chooses the express check-in option, all you need to bring to check-in at camp is your approval form (issued once all forms have been verified by our express registration staff), or your missing and/or incomplete paperwork (any issues with submitted forms will be communicated to you by our express registration staff well in advance of the campout).

If your Pack does not choose the early Check-In process, Cub leaders should turn in all of their Pack’s Medical forms and Waiver forms at camp check-in. (Don’t forget that Pack Rosters should have been submitted to the Council Service Center prior to the Cub Weekend). Once check-in has been completed successfully, the Pack will then be ready to proceed to the campsite, and we will radio the gate staff to alert them that check-in has been completed successfully for your unit.

We will allow those units with a Pack trailer to take the trailer to the campsite upon arrival (immediately returning the towing vehicle to the parking lot), however, you must first let a gate staff member or admin staff member in Headquarters know that you have arrived.

Please plan to arrive and start the check-in process as a Pack at 1:00 pm. Please do not arrive before this time. One leader will need to come to the camp office to check-in the Pack before proceeding to any other area on camp. All unpaid fees and Activity Control Waivers must be turned in at this time. Medical forms for all youth and adults should also be ready for the medical recheck. Each camper including adults must be present during medical recheck. Swim tags will be issued after completion of medical recheck where your unit will proceed to the waterfront to complete swim checks. A staff guide will be available to assist your Pack with the check-in process. There will be a meeting with the leader from each Pack at 4:15pm in Camp Headquarters.

Safety and Security:

Several measures are used at Camp Tuscarora to ensure the safety and security of all campers. All the campers and guests must wear wristbands. If a wristband falls off, please come by the Camp Office in Headquarters to receive a new one. The staff members are identified by the Boy Scout uniform or staff shirt. If you see anyone suspicious in camp, please report it to the Camp Director immediately.

Visitors:

Please make sure that all visitors sign-in at the Camp Office upon arrival and sign-out upon departure. All vehicles will remain in the parking lot. If a visitor wants to eat in the dining hall a meal ticket can be purchased at the Camp Office for $6.00 per person. We encourage family members to attend any of our campfire programs. We ask that they eat dinner prior to arrival at camp. Campfire visitors are asked to arrive after 7:00 pm.

Dining Hall and Special Needs:

Before the morning and evening meal, Packs line up in formation around the flag pole in front of the trading post. The officer of the day will lead the flag ceremony as appointed by the Program Director. Scouts and leaders should wear their field uniform to the flag lowering. Announcements for the entire camp will occur during assembly. Packs must assist with setting up and cleaning up the tables that they use in the dining hall for each meal. They should show up 15 minutes before the meal to make sure set up is complete. Special dietary needs should be submitted in writing to the Camp Director at least two weeks prior to attending camp. We will do our best to accommodate these needs if substitutions are noted. For specific dietary requirements, some supplements may need to be brought from home.

Uniform in Camp:

The official BSA summer uniform is suggested for Scouts and leaders. This uniform will be worn at flag lowering ceremonies, supper, and campfires. During the day Scout shorts and camp T-shirts are appropriate.

Leader’s Meetings:

A camp leaders’ meeting will be held on check-in day at 5:00 pm in Camp Headquarters. Please make sure at least one leader from each unit is present. This will ensure that your pack has all necessary information for a safe and fun time at camp.

Check-Out:

Before leaving camp please take time to clean your campsite and the adjoining bathhouse to your campsite. Carts are available to take gear to the parking lot, but please remember that there are others that may need to use them. The towing vehicle may be driven to the site to pull the Pack trailer. Send one leader to the Camp Office to check-out the Pack. All Packs are required to check-out by 10:00 am.

10 | P a g e

Trading Post:

Visit our Wampus Cat Outfitters Trading Post for cool camp merchandise, entertainment, necessities, ice cream, slushies, sodas and snacks. Each Scout should be responsible for bringing extra money if they wish to purchase something from the Trading Post. Open each day and evening during posted hours.

NEW! Satellite Trading Post – The Wampus Kitty!

Located at the top of the hill at the amphitheater, our new satellite Trading Post location will be open 3o minutes prior to the opening and closing campfires and immediately after for customers who may have only come out for the campfire ceremony or who can’t make it over to our main location. Come see us there!

Swimming & Boating:

Any Scout or adult participating in any swimming or boating activity must first take a swim test. Swim tests are given during check-in when your pack arrives at camp. It is recommended that youth wear aqua shoes during swimming and boating sessions. Swimming and boating are restricted to times listed on the program schedule.

Fishing:

Fishing is available at our lakes for Scouts and leaders. If your Pack wants to fish it is necessary for you to bring fishing poles and bait with you.

Camp Patch:

An embroidered patch is awarded to each Scout and leaders who have stayed with their boys for the entire session. Patches will be included in your Check-out Packet and must be signed for by the Pack leader or unit representative at check-out.

Camp Telephone:

The camp office phone number is 919-934-9538 and is restricted to camp business and emergency use. In case of an emergency, callers will need to give the Pack number along with the Scout’s name. Please discourage parents from making unnecessary phone calls. Remind them the Scouts are not located near the phone.

Camp Communication:

The camp will utilize a messaging system using each leader’s cell phone. This message is in the form of a text message. During check-in, the camp will collect cell phone numbers of leaders who will be staying on camp. These messages will be used for general camp information as well as emergency alerts. Any leaders who “switch-out” need to add the new leader to the communication list with the Camp Director.

Email and Internet:

At Camp Tuscarora we have spotty, very slow Wi-Fi on a limited data plan which is restricted to use by our Administrative staff to allow them access to the online registration system. If a leader needs access for work, access passwords can be obtained by adult leaders upon request if sufficient data is remaining. We can also suggest locations in Smithfield or Goldsboro where you can go for a cup of coffee and significantly faster internet connections.

11 | P a g e

Camp Mail:

Mail will run daily at Camp Tuscarora. All incoming mail will be given out daily to the units, but please plan to mail any letters or items well in advance or they may not arrive until after your camper has returned home. (We are not responsible for lost or late-arriving mail.)

The camp address is:

Scout’s Name Pack Number Camp Tuscarora 965 Scout Road Four Oaks, NC 27524

Rules and Safety Information

Tents:

All tents, be the camps or personal, must never have a flame of any kind inside it. There must be sign stating “NO FLAMES IN TENT” on personal tents in the campsite. All camp tents have been labeled as well. Canvas tents are provided in the campsite, but if a unit wishes to provide their own tents, it is also acceptable.

Campsites/Electricity:

Campsites at Camp Tuscarora are primitive sites. Though most have a shelter and running water, they do not have electricity. For this reason, those needing to operate devices such as a CPAP machine will need to make arrangements to bring a battery pack.

Prohibited Items

Firearms and Liquid Fuels:

Personal firearms and fireworks are strictly prohibited. Liquid fuel lanterns/stoves are restricted to adult use only. They are not allowed in tents under any circumstances.

Tobacco and Alcohol:

The use of any tobacco products is forbidden for all individuals on camp property. Please

know that per National Camp Policy, every member of our staff is compelled to address any

adult or camper on the property that is using tobacco products (this includes vaping and

chewing tobacco) on camp.

The use of alcoholic beverages and/or controlled substances at camp is prohibited.

Trucks, Trailers, and Campers:

The beds of a truck or a trailer must never be used for carrying people. Trailer type campers and R/V’s are not allowed in camp. Vehicles are not allowed to stay in the campsite overnight.

12 | P a g e

General Cleanliness and Sanitation:

A Scout is clean. Showers and toilets are available to Scouts and leaders. These facilities must be cleaned by the Scouts and leaders while at camp. It is best to spot clean after each use to prevent a large cleaning time. Trash bags are provided and regular trash pick-ups will be made. Your Pack can get additional supplies from Headquarters or the Trading Post.

Scouts Leaving Camp Property:

Campers are not to leave camp during the camping period without the approval of their leader and the Camp Director or Program Director. In cases of emergency, a senior staff member will accompany the Scout to established medical treatment centers, or approved transportation as may be determined in agreement with the leader. With prior approval of parents and the leader, a Scout may leave camp with a responsible adult, but he must check out and back in with the camp office. Any Scout leaving with his parent must also be checked out at the camp office, regardless of the circumstance. In the event that one parent has court approved custody of a Scout the camp director must be informed in writing during check-in of any restrictions on leaving camp with anyone other than the court approved guardian or parent.

Leaders Leaving Camp:

Leaders who must leave camp for any reason must sign in and out of the Camp Office at the time of departure and return. A check-out sheet is available. Two-deep adult leadership must be maintained at all times.

First Aid:

First aid for injuries is provided by our full-time medic on staff at our Med Lodge.

Vehicles in Camp:

All vehicles are to be parked in the camp parking area. Pack equipment trailers can be towed to and left in the campsite. Towing vehicles must be returned to the designated parking area immediately. No vehicles will be allowed to stay in campsites. Only clearly marked camp service vehicles are allowed to travel camp roads. Under no circumstances should passengers ride in the back of pick-up trucks or trailers!

Bicycles:

Personal bicycles are allowed at camp. Helmets are required at all times with no exceptions. Riders must be courteous to walkers. Walkers always have the right of way especially on trails. Bicycles are not allowed on the main camp road from the front gate to the headquarters building nor in the parking lot where cars can be moving. To reach the first-year camper area bikers are to ride across the large field between BMX and the rappelling tower. After dark, bicycles are not to be ridden and must be walked back to campsites. It is the responsibility of all adult leaders to insure Scouts are courteous and follow these directions. Remember, the use of a bicycle on camp by an individual is a privilege which if abused will be revoked.

13 | P a g e

Skateboarding:

Helmets, knee, and elbow pads must be worn at all times with no exceptions. Adult supervision will be provided in compliance with safety guidelines. Levels for degree of difficulty will be assigned, and Scouts must respect and follow all directions and rules of the adult supervisor.

Valuables:

Each Pack should provide adequate protection for its valuables. A foot locker with lock is recommended. The Tuscarora Council is not responsible for lost or stolen items. The lost and found will be at the Camp Office. To increase your chance of recovering a lost item, make sure you label name and unit number on personal gear.

Diversity Policy:

The Tuscarora Council has a zero tolerance for Scouts or leaders that do not treat other Scouts and leaders by the Cub Scout Twelve Core Values, Scout Oath, and Law. Scouts must be on guard to always be aware of actions or behavior which might cause others to be hurt by words or deeds. Adult Unit Leaders are responsible for making sure that this policy is followed at all Scouting events.

Emergency Procedures: To ensure proper care and protection is provided to our youth and adults, the following emergency procedures are compulsory:

· A text system will be used to the primary leader of each unit and must be kept on their person at

all times for immediate communications and notifications.

· Emergency procedures will be reviewed at the first leaders meeting along with alternative

instructions and options for extreme situations.

· Camp emergencies include tornado watch, tornado warning, severe weather, lost camper, lost

bather or other serious situations as deemed by the Camp Director.

· In the event of an emergency the Camp Director will issue each primary leader an

“EMERGENCY IN THE CAMP” text page, broadcast the camp emergency notice on the p/a

and ring the camp emergency bell whereby all youth and adults are required to assemble in the

amphitheater without exception and remain until dismissed by the Camp Director.

· Leaders will group their youth and adults and give an accurate accounting when called on.

· In the event of high winds or a tornado, all youth will stay at the bottom of the OA Building for

protection. Larger youth and adults will position themselves next to the younger children to assist and

calm them.
