Frequently Asked Questions
Are Parents invited? Yes! All scouts are required to have a chaperone, which is typically a parent or guardian. However, other scout parents can also be a chaperone for your scout if you are not able to make it. If another parent is going to be your scouts chaperone, arrangements need to be made ahead of time with your den leader.
What is the Bovey Scout Ranch? This link provides lots of good information about the ranch: Bovay Scout Ranch — Sam Houston Area Council (samhoustonbsa.org). You can find a map of the Ranch here
What should we pack? Follow this link and scroll halfway down for the "Preparing for Camp" option for a full recommended packing list. Each family should plan on bringing (or borrowing) a tent, sleeping pad/mat and sleeping bags. If you are interested in borrowing any gear from the Scout Pack, please mention that in the Questions area when registering. In particular, Scouts are required to wear closed-toes-shoes and to have a water bottle.
Can I bring a CPAP machine? Yes. We will have a limited number of outlets at camp that can be used for CPAPs

It is NOT permitted for scouts to sleep in a tent with any adults that are not their specific guardian.
