Who can attend resident camp?

Cub Scouts
Fort Steuben Scout Reservation welcomes all Wolves, Bears, and WEBELOS. We strongly encourage packs to send their dens as a single unit, which helps promote pack unity. Remember that a scout advances to the next level of Cub Scouting at the end of each school year, so a Cub Scout who is a Tiger Cub during the 2015-2016 school year will be considered a Wolf Cub after the end of school and is welcome to attend Resident Camp.
Adult Leaders
Each unit is required to follow Youth Protection guidelines. This means each unit is required to have at least two (2) adults who are Youth Protection trained in camp with the unit at all times. If an adult leader must leave camp, the unit should arrange for another adult leader to take their place. In the case of an emergency where a leader must leave camp at short notice, the camp will provide an adult staff member to the unit until another leader can arrive.
Provisional Scouts
If a Scout is unable to attend Resident Camp with their unit, or if the unit is unable to send more than one Scout, they may register as a provisional Scout. A Scout who registers as a provisional scout will have to attend camp with a parent who is also a registered adult leader, and will be placed in a campsite with another unit.
Siblings & Tag-alongs
We encourage anyone over the age of three who is a family member of a registered Cub Scout or adult leader to attend, provided they register as attending with a unit and pay the appropriate camper fee. Anyone under the age of three may be brought to camp at no cost.
Visitors
Resident Camp is a great place to see scouting in action, but as always safety is our top priority. District and unit Scouters, professionals, donors, and prospective members and volunteers are welcome to visit, but all visitors to the camp should notify either the unit with whom they are visiting or the camp office prior to arrival. Upon arrival, visitors will be required to check in at the camp office to sign in, pay for any meals they will be staying for, and receive a guest badge. Upon leaving, visitors will be required to sign out to make sure we have an accurate knowledge of who is on camp property in the case of an emergency. Visitors not following these rules will be asked to leave immediately.
Guest Meals
Visitors staying for a meal must purchase a ticket at the camp office upon signing in. The cost is $10 per person, per meal. Any visitors with special dietary needs should notify the camp office via email at least two weeks prior to their visit. We cannot guarantee accommodations for requests submitted less than two weeks in advance.

Laying the Foundation for a Successful Summer The most successful units see most of their members attending resident camp each year. How do they do it? Through proper planning and promotion, of course! The Cubmaster or Den Leader, working with the pack committee, should plan to promote camp at a meeting when the majority of parents can attend. We recommend beginning to promote resident camp in December, and to regularly remind the parents and scouts through the year. The Ohio River Valley Council has dedicated Camping Promotion Chairs in each district who can help your unit make the most of this year’s resident camp. This guidebook should answer most of the questions you will encounter, but we encourage you to contact ORVC Service Center or the Camp Director, Tony Antonini, with questions you may still have.
10
Why Should Cub Scouts and
11
WEBELOS go Camping? Because boys join Cub Scouting to go camping! This statement is just as true today as it was for past generations of Scouts. Camp provides innumerable opportunities for boys to grow, explore, make memories, and have fun. Where else could your Scout swim, fish, boat, play sports, learn about nature, shoot, make crafts, and hike in an environment totally dedicated to the ideals and ethics of Scouting?
Our Program Facilities & Equipment Our equipment and facilities can’t be matched by a unit on its own, giving your unit a unique opportunity to provide your scout with experiences the units are normally unable to provide. Fort Steuben Scout Reservation has met 100% of the NCAP (National Camp Accreditation Program) standards for many years, making us one of the best Cub Scout Resident Camps in the area.
The Fort Steuben Scout Reservation Staff Our staff provides top-quality, safe, and enthusiastic instruction that engages scouts with a positive attitude. We select our staff for their scouting experience, maturity, and skills. Many of our staff are Eagle Scouts, and many of them were once Cub Scouts attending Resident Camp at Fort Steuben Scout Reservation themselves! Key officials, including the Camp Director, Program Director, and others, attend regional Boy Scout training and certification programs known as National Camp School in addition to our own week-long staff development training at the beginning of the summer.
Boys who attend Summer Camp are more likely to stay in Scouting Research shows that almost half of all Cub Scouts leave the program within two years. Retention statistics provided by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America demonstrate that units are more likely to retain their scouts if they attend a resident camp.
“Do Your Best...” 11
12
Pack Organization in Camp In most packs, the year-round Cubmaster or Den Leader will accompany their Scouts to camp. However, we recognize that many parents (and other adults) who are not as familiar with the methods of Scouting will want to camp with their boys. We welcome these ‘new’ leaders whole-heartedly. Still, the pack leadership should ensure that these leaders become familiar with the aims and methods of Cub Scouting and the policies explained in this handbook. Our staff will look to your unit leaders as partners in upholding the high ideals of our organization and fostering a fun but safe environment. The program at Cub Scout Resident Camp depends on the qualified leadership of volunteers such as you. The staff at Resident Camp genuinely appreciate the time you take out of your schedule to come to camp with your boys.
What Should We Pack? When packing for camp, it’s wise to remember the Boy Scout Motto – ‘Be Prepared’. An extra set of clothes will make a world of difference to a camper who gets caught in the rain. On the other hand, try to avoid the temptation to bring too much. Ideally, you should be able to carry everything you need for your visit in a small duffle bag or footlocker. Remember that vehicular transportation into your campsite will not be permitted, so plan now to pack smartly and avoid future aggravations.
12
Camp Policies
13
Buddy System Scouts are required to use the buddy system at all times. It is recommended that all boys be assigned a buddy for the week by the time they arrive in camp on Sunday. A Scout should never be alone in camp, and adult leaders should supervise their scouts, including Den Chiefs, at all times. Remember that the Buddy System is an important part of the camp security plan.
Shoes Close-toed shoes are to be worn at all times while on camp. The only exceptions are while taking a shower; or while inside the waterfront perimeter.
Security The security of all campers, leaders, and staff is our top priority. We maintain a working relationship with local emergency services and have implemented several measures to improve your safety throughout your stay: • All Staff members wear official camp uniforms and have an I.D. Badge. • All Campers and Leaders will wear a wristband during their stay at camp. • All camp staff, campers, and visitors are required to sign in and out of the camp log book, located in the office. • Visitors will be wearing a Guest name badge, received upon checking in at the office. • Anyone not wearing a wristband should not be approached and a staff member should be notified as soon as possible. • Any suspicious individuals or activities should not be investigated by the camper and should be reported to a staff member immediately.
13
14
Health & Medical Everyone is required by BSA national policy to have a medical form if they intend on staying the night on property or participating in camp activities. We recommend getting physical forms completed early in the fall and keeping the originals with the troop, as the BSA Health Form is valid for 12 months after the physical.
Medications Only refrigerated medications, injectable medications, and controlled substances are required to be stored at the Health Lodge with the Medical Officer. Other medications will be kept by the unit leaders with a medical log and lockable container to use in storing the unit’s medications. It is the responsibility of the unit leader to ensure the timely distribution and logging of all medications given to members of the unit. Units may request a lockbox for secure storage of medication if a trailer is not kept in the campsite. Medications can also be dispensed by the Health Lodge, per request of a parent or guardian of the scout. However, the unit leader will remain responsible for ensuring all campers receiving medication from the Health Lodge arrive and take the medication. Any medications distributed by the Health Office for your unit must be turned in during Sunday Check-in. Medication should be placed in separate containers for each scout, including instructions for dispensing (how many, when, through what method, etc…). We ask that campers bring only medication being taken under a physician’s direction. The medications must be in the original container and clearly marked with the contents, dosage instructions, camper name, and camper’s unit number.
Special Dietary Needs or Medical Accommodations Efforts will be made to accommodate all campers with special needs. Special medical needs must be listed on the health form, and special dietary needs must be listed on the Dietary Needs Form. The camp office must be made aware of any special accommodations no less than two (2) weeks prior to the start of camp. If the camp is not notified at least two weeks in advance, we cannot guarantee the availability of accommodation. Both the BSA Medical and Dietary Needs forms can be found in the appendix and extra copies can be printed from the Cub Scout section of the Fort Steuben website.
Insurance The Ohio River Valley Council insures each of its registered scouts and scoutmasters for accident, sickness, or injury that may occur during their stay at camp. However, this insurance is secondary coverage only, meaning it will only cover those expenses that are not recoverable under any other policy.
14
Arriving at Camp
15
All campers should arrive between 1:00pm and 3:00pm on Thursday. Campers arriving early will not be checked in until 1:00pm, unless previous arrangements have been approved by the Camp Director. Units are encouraged to carpool to camp as parking is limited. Once all vehicles are parked and the unit is checked in, the unit should walk to their assigned campsite to drop off their gear and meet the Unit Guide. When your unit is settled in the campsite, your Unit Guide will lead you to the next steps in the check-in process, followed by a tour of the main camp. Parents or Guardians who do not plan on staying must remain with the unit until after the Medical Re-Checks.
Medical Re-Checks Your first stop after your campsite will be the Health Office, where the Health & Safety staff will conduct a review of your unit’s medical forms. Any medical forms that have not been turned in must be submitted at this time. This is also when you will turn in any medication that the Health Office will be storing and/or distributing. Parents or Guardians must be present at the Medical Re-Check to answer any questions regarding a camper’s health forms or medication. Anyone who is dropping off campers may leave only AFTER medical re-checks are completed.
Swim Checks After Medical Re-Checks, your unit will take a hayride down to the Waterfront to do complete your Swim Checks. Anyone who plans on entering the Waterfront must have completed a Swim Check and received a Buddy Tag. The purpose of conducting Swim Checks is to classify participants into their appropriate ability levels (Learner, Beginner, or Swimmer). This helps us run the waterfront safely while providing fun and effective programming. The requirements for each level of classification are listed below: • Swimmers Test: Jump feet-first into water over your head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgeon, or front crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke such as the elementary backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in a single swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. • Beginner’s Test: Jump feet-first into water over your head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume swimming and return to the starting place. • Learner’s Test: Get Wet!

During Your Stay At Camp The Campsite: The Heart of the Camp Every camper will spend a significant amount of time in their campsite, or what most scouts regard as ‘their home away from home’. Some units become so attached to these homes that they return to the same site year after year. Although camping remains a little rough and rustic, we sincerely hope to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Each campsite comes equipped with tents, platforms, dining flys, tables, flagpole, latrine, washstand, bulletin board, campsite tools, and trashcan. Please notify the Commissioner immediately if you notice any problems or deficiencies in these items. Any extra supplies you made need such as toilet paper or sanitizer may be procured from the office. It is important to stress to your scouts that they will be responsible for maintaining their site. Please address the following points with them:
Tent Care Keep all flames, candles, matches, etc… away from tents. Do not roll tent flaps in wet weather, or place hangars over the tent poles as this will damage the fabric of the tent and please refrain from putting nails or screws into the platforms. With your help we can make our tents last longer and look better.
Cleanliness Each campsite should be cleaned daily. This includes the latrine. If sharing you site with another unit, develop a schedule to share this responsibility equally. The floor and walls of the latrine should be swept daily, the wash stand should be rinsed and draining properly, and all of the camp equipment should be stowed neatly. Please conduct a sweep of the campsite for liter and dispose of it properly.
Wildlife Animals often will be an exciting part of our adventures. Seeing them in their natural habit is always a pleasure, but it is wise to remember that they are the permanent residents of the camp, while you are a visitor. Do not attempt to approach or handle any wildlife. Report any unusual wildlife behavior, such as being approached by an animal, to the camp office immediately.
16
17 Showers Cleanliness is the 11th point of the Scout Law. Fort Steuben Scout Reservation provides shower facilities for all campers, and we encourage campers to take showers daily. While there are common periods for the whole camp to take showers, it is not uncommon for backups to occur at these times. We recommend setting aside time during the day to have your unit use the shower facilities at a time when there is less traffic.
Good Neighbors Remember that others prefer the peace and quiet of the woods to noises from other campsites. Quiet time is observed between 9:30pm and 6:30am.
Separate Accommodations While in camp no youth is permitted to share or sleep in the same tent as an adult or staff member unless they sleep with their own parent or guardian. A youth is considered anyone under the age of 18. An adult is considered anyone 18 years of age or older. Adults are expected to share a tent with another adult of the same pack.
Respect of Privacy Leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in such situations as changing clothes or taking showers while at camp. Leaders do not belong in any area that such situations may be taking place except to tend to an injured Scout or to maintain discipline. To violate this privacy is a violation of Youth Protection and will be reported to the Camp Director.
Commissioner Services Our Camp Commissioner is here to help make sure that your stay at camp is as enjoyable as possible – from helping guide your pack through check-in to making sure your campsites and latrines are clean, safe, and well stocked. The Commissioner will check-in with you throughout the week to make sure your pack has everything you need, and will conduct periodic campsite visitations to make sure health and safety standards are being met. The Commissioner will be happy to assist you with any issues relating to your program, campsite, or camp facilities. The Commissioner will also be able to provide any campsite needs such as cleaning supplies, toilet paper, water buckets, etc‌

SPECIAL Opening Campfire There is no better way to end your first day at camp, than with a tremendous camp fire led by the staff. Bring your enthusiasm, energy, and scouting spirit to an evening filled with laughter and fun.
Theme Night Get into the theme by dressing up for flags as your favorite superhero, and then we will head to the dining hall for a special meal. Following the meal there will be a camp wide surprise event that everyone will enjoy.
Flag Ceremonies Every morning and evening we hold a camp wide flag ceremony. If your pack or den would like to raise or lower the flag, sign up with the program director when you sign into camp. If you would like staff assistance, they are ready and willing to help.

THe Waterfront On those hot summer days, the waterfront is the best place to relax, cool off, earn awards, and have fun! Every level of swimmer will have the opportunity to improve their aquatic skills. The lifeguards have a bottomless bag of tricks and a thorough understanding of how to work with Cub Scouts. Our waterfront staff are CPR trained, certified lifeguards and will keep a watchful eye on everyone in this family friendly atmosphere. Returning this summer is our state-of-the-art aquatics playground, affectionately called “The Jungle Joe�, an inflatable aquatics playground that has become a favorite for scouts of all ages.
