Cub Scout Pack 57 enjoys camping throughout the year. Here is some information about how our campouts work:

1. Scouts can not be left at a campout. They must have an adult present. If you have to leave for some reason, please arrange for another adult in your den (not the leader) to be responsible for them.

2. Pack camping is family camping. You are responsible for your own meals and drinks. Your den may decide to cook together, but that will decided within each den.

3. Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Use and Abuse:

The Boy Scouts of America prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances at encampments or activities on property owned and/or operated by the Boy Scouts of America, or at any activity involving participation of youth members.

Adult leaders should support the attitude that young adults are better off without tobacco and may not allow the use of tobacco products at any BSA activity involving youth participants.

All Scouting functions, meetings, and activities should be conducted on a smoke-free basis, with smoking areas located away from all participants

4. Boys are not allowed to carry knives unless they have earned their Whittling Chit card (Bears and Webelos). If your son will be working on his Whittling Chit, the parent must bring it to the campout and give it to their son at the beginning of the class. Anyone who abuses their knife privilege will have their pen knife taken away.

5. Cub Scouts follow an Outdoor Code and a Leave no Trace policy. When we depart the camp ground on Sunday, we must leave no trace that we were there. EVERYONE is responsible for the campsite, not just those who are the last to leave on Sunday.
