✅ Campmaster Check-In

Please check in with the Campmaster (Henderson Lodge) when you arrive at Nobscot for an overnight stay.

Members of the Campmaster Corps serve at Nobscot to check you in, check you out, help orient your group to Nobscot and where to find Garden Carts as well as latrines and water convenient to your camp location.  Campmasters are a wealth of knowledge and are generally onsite whenever troops, teams, dens, or groups are using any part of the Nobscot property.

🪵 Firewood

To help deter wildfires, please burn the plentiful limbs and slash covering the forest floor (unless it is rotted) first. Most Nobscot sites also have an abundant supply of nearby split and stacked firewood for units to use.

The Campmasters and the volunteers with the Nobscot Hammer Crew split hundreds of cords of wood, stack it for drying, and distribute it around the camp to:

• Lodges

• Cabins

• Lean-to sites

• Designated tenting sites

• If you are tenting at an undeveloped tent site or Leave no Trace site, scouts should gather firewood themselves from downed tree branches on the forest floor or from the Shed.

• If you see a pile of wood stacked by the side of the trail, it most likely is not sufficiently dry yet for use as firewood. Dry wood generally has split marks. Green wood is generally still heavy.

The wood in the Shed has been cut and split by Nobscot Alumni Association volunteers and will often be still green for a few months after cutting. Don’t take wood from the shed until after checking the forest floor and around your campsite for dry wood. The Shed should be the last place a scout looks for wood to burn, not the first place.
