Camping Etiquette for Pack 3880

and to always use proper camping etiquette.

There are really only a few rules, the rest is proper etiquette.

• NO drugs, alcohol, firearms, fireworks, smoking or foul language.
  • If you must smoke, please do not do it around the scouts / other campers. This means leave the immediate area. (BSA has now banned eCigs on scouting events)
• No open-toe shoes, sandals, or flip-flops. Only closed-toe shoes, closed toed beach shoes or closed toed sandals are permitted.
• Only Boy Scouts with a "Totin' Chip" are permitted to carry a knife (pocket knife). No sheath knives. Cub Scout may not carry a knife at all even with a Whittling Chip. The Whittling Chip only allows the use of a pocket knife with adult supervision.
• All youth and adults should use the Buddy System when traveling through the camp at all times.
• Scouts when venturing into near by wooded areas ALWAYS let your adult partner or leader know where you are headed and which buddy will be with you.
• Remember the Leave No Trace Rules: Stick to the path, do not trample / damage plants, do not break branches from trees etc. If you are not familiar with these rules then you need to learn them before you go camping.
• No electronics permitted on pack camp outs / events. A scout may use them in their car on the ride up and home, but once you reach the scouting event, the electronic device needs to stay in the vehicle NOT THE TENT, backpack or anywhere it is accessible for a scout to play with. They are there to learn and explore.
  • NOTE: Parents and Leaders may use phones for emergency use / camp organizational purposes only.
