Boy Scout Troop 28 Camping/Behavior Rules

Having fun is the primary goal of each camping trip. However, having fun also requires keeping order and providing a safe, friendly environment. Therefore, we require each boy to follow the following camping rules.

•	The written Patrol “Duty Rosters” will be used to resolve any question on patrol chores during a camping trip. Therefore, scouts who trade chores do so at their own risk. If your swap partner does not take your place, you will have the duty. 

•	No foul language will be permitted. (You will be given extra camp chores or may lose your privilege to go on the next camping trip.) 

•	All Adults and Leaders will be treated with respect. When addressing an adult please use Mr./Mrs. and be courteous when answering, (e.g. yes sir/maam, no sir/maam). 

•	Each Scout will participate in the daily scheduled programs while camping. Scouts will not be allowed to lie around camp all day. We will give the scouts adequate leisure time of their own. 

•	No Hazing, Taunting, Name Calling, Fighting or threats will be tolerated. All scouts are friends. Violators may be asked to call their parents and go home. Future camping trips may also be suspended for the violator depending on the severity of the incident. 

•	Scouts may not light fires unless approved by a Leader. All fire safety and camp rules should be followed. No one may play with fire or take fire outside of the fire ring. 

•	Destruction of property or theft, whether belonging to the BSA Camp or another scout, will not be tolerated. A scout will pay for any destruction he causes or replace the item at his expense. Theft will be treated more seriously. 

•	Scouts may not leave camp without a leader’s permission and without a buddy. 

•	All curfew and “lights out” rules must be adhere to. Observe quiet time. 
•	Obey the “Outdoor Code”. Treat nature with respect and care. STAY CLEAR OF WILD 

ANIMALS. 

•	Each Scout should keep his tent and area reasonably clean. You will clean up your own mess kits, etc. 

•	Boys will not be allowed in an adult’s tent at any time, unless it is a parent. (BSA POLICY). 

•	You may be asked to take a troop tent home for drying and cleaning after a trip. This is extremely important since the tent will be destroyed if it is folded up and left wet in storage. You will be held accountable for damage to any tent which you do not dry out when requested. Also, you will be expected to bring your own tent in the future. We will do our best to assign this duty fairly and evenly. 

•	Scouts should only carry a pen knife. Knife play violations will result in the loss of your Totin Chip card corner, entire card or more serious consequences depending on upon the incident. 

•	DO NOT THROW ANY OBJECTS (e.g. rocks). We have seen accidental injuries.
