WHILE AT CAMP General Camp Safety Policies The buddy system must be used at all times. Fires should be put out when leaving the campsite. No fire should be left unattended. Fire orders and severe weather procedures are posted in each campsite and should be reviewed with the entire membership of the troop. Unit leaders appoint a fire marshal for their troop and review the responsibilities of that position with the selected Scout on Sunday. No one should be transported in the cargo section of trucks. All buildings are smoke-free. Smokers, please smoke in a safe manner away from Scouts. It is unacceptable for anyone younger than age 18 to use tobacco products of any type at any time during camp. Closed-toed shoes should be worn at all times while walking around camp. Sandals are appropriate for the waterfront and the shower house. The camp setting offers a great opportunity to observe plant and animal wildlife in their natural surroundings. Scouts and adults must not feed or try to catch any wildlife. Problems with any type of wildlife should be reported to the camp office immediately. Upon departure from camp, all Scouts must leave with their unit leadership, parent, guardian, or an individual approved by the parent or guardian. Written permission must be provided by the legal parent or guardian to the unit leadership if a Scout may leave camp with someone other than those listed above. This maintains accountability of all Scouts and provides for their safety. Camp staff — under the guidance of their camp director — monitor camp for unauthorized persons. The central camp staff and the camp rangers provide assistance. Any questions or concerns regarding an unauthorized person should be referred to the camp director. Those persons found not to be official guests of the camp or a Scout unit will be asked to leave and escorted off the premises. Local law enforcement officers will be contacted if necessary. Any problems or safety concerns regarding unauthorized persons should be referred to the camp director. Youth Protection Resources The protection of youth is the primary obligation of every individual involved in the Boy Scouts of America — including leaders, parents, members and professionals. The BSA has been and will continue to be vigilant in its efforts to create barriers that help prevent abuse and to recognize and report child abuse regardless of where it occurs. Scouts First Helpline As part of the BSA’s “Scouts First” approach to the protection and safety of youth, the BSA has established a dedicated 24-hour helpline at 844-SCOUTS FIRST (844-726-8871) to receive reports of any known or suspected abuse or significant violations of youth protection policies that might put a youth at risk. The helpline’s goal is to provide immediate assistance to ensure that the victim, unit, and council are fully supported and the actions taken are properly documented. The call is answered by a live person - day or night - by a direct National employee from the National Incident Reporting office. All information is kept confidential byNational who then will inform the local council Scout Executive. S BAR F SCOUT RANCH STLBSA.ORG PAGE 10
