Scouts BSA Welcome from your
Camp Camp Director
Scouters!
Thank you for your Interest in attending Lewis & Clark Scout Reservation for one of our 2020
summer programs. I would like to assure you that our goal for our camp is to provide programs that
will be fun and engaging for scouts while working to reduce the risk for Scouters and staff attending
camp. Our camp programs will look and feel a bit different to achieve this goal. The Lewis & Clark staff
will continue to focus on the character development of the individual scout through the application of
the Scout Oath and Law, while working on these areas of personal development.
o Leadership and Citizenship
o Teamwork, Cooperation and Helping Others
o Self-Reliance, Resourcefulness and Accepting Responsibility
o Respect for Nature, Resources and Others
o Physical, Spiritual, Emotional and Mental Fitness
I look forward to seeing many familiar faces at camp this summer and hope to welcome many new
faces to the Lewis and Clark camping family.
In Scouting,
Gene Fuller
Camp Director

Camp Topography
As you plan your week, we would like to remind you that, unlike most camps in the Mid-
West, Lewis & Clark has topography, meaning that we have changes in elevation. Lewis &
Clark is built on the bluffs and rolling hills of the Missouri River. Campsites and program
areas are located on the slopes leading to Lewis & Clark Lake. Our dining hall, administra-
tive offices and shooting ranges are all located at the top of the bluff. We mention this as a
courtesy so that you can properly plan your week. We have added elevations to the map
to aid in this process. If your Troop is accustomed to camping in flat regions, you may want
to do a little pre-camp training before arriving.
As a result of our location on the bluffs of the Missouri, we are blessed not only with a
magnificent view, but with thick forest vegetation. Many new visitors are surprised to see the
dense forest and abundance of trees “in the middle of the prairie”. All campsites and merit
badge areas, with the exception of the waterfront, have shade most of the day.
Merit Badges
Each Scout should review the requirements of the merit badges he/she would like to take prior
to coming to camp. This will allow requirements to be completed at home that will not be
completed at camp.
Registration for merit badges enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis. You must
checkout of Tentaroo each time you add or delete Scouts or merit badges for the system
to save your changes.
Be sure Scouts have current merit badge pamphlets.
Pamphlets are available for sale from the Trading Post, but advanced purchase and reading is highly
recommended for the scouts to be able to complete merit badges at camp.
Scouts should complete requirements that cannot be done at camp before arriving.
Scoutmasters / Merit Badge Councilors please send a signed note with your Scout stating what
requirements were completed prior to attending camp. Notes should be turned in to the merit badge
counselor at the first session.
Records
Lewis & Clark merit badge counselors will track all requirements completed at camp. All
requirements & completed merit badges can be seen by logging into your account & viewing or
printing the Scouts’ schedules.

Your safety and the safety of all our members, volunteers, and employees is Sioux Council’s top priority. In light of
COVID-19, we are taking additional precautions at camp on top of our long-established health and safety measures.
First, our council health supervisor, a physician, is following state, local and Federal guidelines to ensure we are
mitigating as much as possible the risk of COVID-19 at camp.
Our mitigation plan includes:
• Pre-attendance education,
• Health screening conducted by your unit prior to travel to our camp, including a temperature check.
• Health screening upon your arrival at camp conducted by our camp health officers, which will also include a
temperature check.
• Note: should anyone in the unit not pass the arrival screening, the entire unit will not be allowed to enter
camp.
• No visitors in camp.
• Hygiene reminders throughout camp experience.
• Handwashing /sanitizer stations throughout camp.
• Staff to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces and shared program equipment.
• An emergency response plan that includes isolation and quarantine protocol should a person at camp develop
symptoms of COVID-19 or other communicable disease.
• Check-ins with each unit one week and two weeks after the unit leaves camp to determine if any participants
have developed symptoms.
These precautions are important, but they do not remove the potential for exposure to COVID-19 or any other illness
while at camp. Some people with COVID-19 show no signs or symptoms of illness but can still spread the virus, and
people may be contagious before their symptoms occur. These factors mean that an infected person may pass the
required health screenings and be allowed into camp.
We also know the very nature of camp makes social distancing difficult in many situations or impossible in some cases.
Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that older adults and people of any age
Lewis & Clark Scout Reservation - Leader Guide P a g e | 29COVID-19 Protocols and Acknowledgement Form
Page 3 of 4 required forms
who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. If you are in this
group, please ensure you have approval from your health care provider prior to attending camp.
We know that each staff member, volunteer, and Scouting family has a unique set of circumstances to consider when
deciding whether to attend camp. We hope this information will be helpful as you make those choices.
We recognize and accept this form of camp protocols, signed by myself and/or my parent/guardian if
under the age of 18. I agree to follow written and verbal social distancing guidelines and to participate
with my safety and the safety of others in mind.
