Dear Scout Leader:
This Summer Camp informational booklet has been prepared to help inform and guide you
and your Troop on a great adventure at Camp ALAFLO in 2010. We feel strongly that our
camp will meet your Troop‟s needs.
We have many activities that await you and your Troop at Camp ALAFLO, from
experiencing the natural beauty of our Reservation, to earning required merit badges, to
completing rank advancements, to taking part in the special activities planned for both
Scouts and Leaders.
The Alabama-Florida Council has been making improvements to the following areas at
Camp ALAFLO: COPE Course, Aquatics, and Shooting Sports and older Scout activities.
We have adjusted, expanded, and developed our programs to meet the needs of the first-
year scouts to the older scouts. Our camp staff is committed to providing the best possible
program. Our goal is to be friendly, courteous, and responsive to the needs of your unit.
The staff has been carefully selected and trained to assist in your stay. They are ready to
help you at any time.
Please take time to read this guide from cover to cover, absorb all of the information in it
and pass it along to your other leaders and your troop. We feel that the 2010 Summer
Camp program will be our best and most energetic effort ever. Also, please take time to
prepare for your adventure at Camp ALAFLO.
Understanding that many of you have the need to stay in touch with your office or home
computer there will be a designated area where you can make those connections. You will
need to bring your own laptop and wireless card (If not pre-wired into your laptop).
If you have any questions, special needs, or just want to talk about your week in camp, feel
free to contact us. We will be happy to work with your troop in any way we can. Again, we
are glad to have you on board as a member of the awesome Camp ALAFLO‟s campers‟
team in 2010.
Yours in Scouting,
Teresa Turner Scott Hill

ALL SCOUTS (COUNCIL, PROVISIONAL, AND OUT-OF-COUNCIL)
All fees are listed on the fee schedule. New Scouts joining your Troop after May 7, 2010 will not
be charged late fees as long as they are paid in full prior to camp. All fees (including deposits) are
non-refundable, but may be transferred to another Scout in your unit.
Provisional Scouts/Units (See fee schedule).
o A Provisional Scout is a registered Scout who attends camp without his troop.
When the Scout arrives at camp he will join a troop attending camp that week. Our
experience has shown that the experienced leadership of an established troop
provides the Scout with better opportunities for advancement and involvement in
camp activities. Please inform the Camp Management if you are willing to assist a
provisional Scout (s) during your troop‟s week at Camp ALAFLO. Scouts are
encouraged to attend multiple weeks of camp.
Leader Fees (See fee schedule).
All Troops of 5 or more campers receive 2 free adults. Additional leaders are $50 each.
11-15 Scouts - 3 adults free 26-30 Scouts - 5 adults free 36 - 40 Scouts - 7 adults free
16- 25 Scouts - 4 adults free 31-35 Scouts - 6 adults free
Discount Camper Extra Week Fee (See fee schedule).
Any Scout who comes for one week of summer camp at regular price and decides to come back
for a second week of camp will only need to pay $120.00 for the second week. They are
considered a provisional scout. It would be most helpful if you would let us know you are
returning for another week before you leave.
Campsite Reservation (See fee schedule). Your Troop may request a specific Patrol site by sending in a $25 deposit per patrol site and
application. All requests will be handled on a first come first served basis. If your Troop cannot fill
a site, then we reserve the right to assign another Troop to fill it up or add another troop to the site.
The deposit will be assisting your troop overall cost. The Summer Camp Staff will set up tents
for your Troop according to the fees paid and merit badge online registration turned by May
7, 2010.
Camperships
Camperships are available through several sources. Contact the Scout Service Center for further
information. A written request for a Campership must be received by April 9, 2010 to be
considered. We only have partial camperships.

Camp Policies and Procedures
Youth Protection Guidelines The following policies have been adopted to provide security for the youth in our programs. In
addition, they serve to protect adult leadership from situations in which they are vulnerable to
allegations of abuse.
Two-Deep Leadership Two registered adults or one registered adult leader and a parent of a participant (who must be at
least 21 years of age or older) are required on all trips and outings. The Chartered Organization is
responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities. At least two
leaders must be with the troop 24 hours a day. Leaders may rotate but they must also sign in
and out at the Camp Office.
No One-to-One Contact One-to-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require a
personal conference, such as a Scoutmaster conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of
other adults and youth.
Respect of Privacy Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing into
swimming suits or taking showers at camp and intrude only to the extent that health and safety
requires. Adults must also protect their own privacy in similar situations. When camping, no youth
is permitted to sleep in the tent or cabin of an adult other than his own parent or guardian. Camp
ALAFLO provides limited separate shower and latrine facilities for females, and when separate
facilities are not available; times for male and female use should be scheduled and posted.
Abuse Adult and unit leaders are not to use physical, mental, or verbal abuse on youth. This includes any
threatening manner toward any youth or other person. Camp ALAFLO is a SAFE HAVEN for
all who visit. Any actions or suspected behavior of this type is to be reported immediately to the
Camp Director. It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that any suspected abuse of any kind
be reported to the appropriate authorities.
10
Camp Policies and Procedures (cont)
Transportation
Safety and Insurance Each Troop is responsible for safe transportation to and from camp and must meet the National
Insurance requirements of the Boy Scouts of America. All vehicles MUST be covered by a public
liability and property damage insurance policy. The amount of this coverage MUST meet or
exceed the insurance requirements of the state in which the vehicle is licensed. For your additional
protection we urge that you carry the following limits; passengers cars, station wagons, or trucks
100,000/$300,000/$100,000; passenger bus $100,000/$500,000/$100,000.
Vehicles in Camp ABSOLUTELY NO VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED BEYOND THE PARKING LOT. All vehicles will be parked in the camps parking lot. NOTE: One vehicle per Troop will be
allowed to carry gear to the campsite on Sunday (during check-in and Saturday for check-out).
Scouts should be prepared to back pack all gear brought to or from their campsite during the week.
The speed limit anywhere on camp is 10 MPH. Also remember to wear your seat belts, not only is
it Alabama law, but also BSA policy. Please don‟t forget BSA policy prohibits anyone from riding
on fenders, hoods, and trunks of vehicles, or in the open bed of trucks. Please help us maintain
Camp ALAFLO‟s high standards of safety by abiding by camp rules.
Out of Camp Trips Scouts should have no reasons to leave camp, but if leaving is necessary, they must be under the
direction of a parent. Any person arriving or departing camp must check in with the Camp Office
both when they leave and return to camp. Remember BSA Youth Protection Policies!!!
It is also policy that all Scouts will be secured in a safety belt, except on a bus which
seats more than 15 passengers.
THE TRANSPORTATION
OF SCOUTS IN THE REAR
OF PICKUP TRUCKS IS
AGAINST BSA POLICIES!!!
11
Camp Policies and Procedures (cont)
GUIDELINES FOR MORALITY AND DIVERSITY AWARENESS (As of October 1997)
The Boy Scouts of America is an organization made up of many people representing many
varied backgrounds including social, ethnic, nationalities, race and physical and mental
abilities. All members of the BSA are expected to abide by the Scout Oath and Law that
will include showing respect for all other people of all backgrounds both similar to and
different from their own.
Safety of the youth members in Scouting is of the highest priority at all Scouting events.
The throwing of objects, building of inappropriate fires or violations of other BSA
guidelines will not be tolerated and will be immediately reported to the adults in charge.
(These include all policies in the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting # 10-212 and the Health and
Safety Guide # 34415).
Registration/Insurance In accordance with National Policy, every Scout and Scout Leader that attends summer
camp must be registered with the Boy Scouts of America. The Alabama-Florida Council
provides accident and illness insurance for all registered youth and Adult leaders. Scout
troops from outside the council must provide certification of troop and/or council accident
and illness coverage.
The insurance plan provides financial protection against accidental injury and illness.
However, leaders and parents should know that medical expense benefits have a Primary
Excess Provision. This means reimbursement will be paid if no other collectable insurance
is available.
In-Council troops have a full breakdown on the injury and illness policy mailed to the
Scoutmaster annually in March. Check on line at http://www.alflcouncilbsa.org/ for the
insurance coverage.

Alabama-Florida Council and Camp ALAFLO have an agreement with a local physician and the
Enterprise Medical Center in the event that additional medical treatment is deemed necessary. In
the case of non-life threatening injury, the Troop Leader will be asked to provide transportation to
the hospital or elsewhere as directed. An ambulance will be called in the case of accidents of a
more critical nature. If parents will not be at home while their son is at camp, they should provide
contact information in the event of an emergency.
Medical Forms A physical examination is required for each scout and adult attending camp. Physical examination
forms are available through your Council Service Center or the Council website.
All scouts & leaders must have an “Annual Health & Medical Record” completed within

C.O.P.E.
Project C.O.P.E. stands for ―Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience‖. It is comprised of
group initiative games as well as low and high ropes course activities. Some of the activities
present a group challenge, while others test individual skills and agility. Participants climb,
swing, balance, jump, and find solutions to a variety of problems.
The underlying goals of C.O.P.E. are consistent with the methods of Scouting. This course
provides an opportunity for every participant to achieve success as an individual and as a
patrol or team. The activities are not designed to be competitive or a race against time. The
objectives are to build personal confidence, develop leadership ability and emphasize
cooperation among team members.
Due to the group dynamics involved, missed sessions cannot be made up.
Individuals who cannot attend every session should not sign up.
The C.O.P.E. program will be offered in the morning and the Scout will be
able to take merit badges in the afternoon.
Minimum Participation Requirements 1. The Scout must be at least 13 years of age by the beginning of camp.
2. A current Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A, B, & C). NO
EXCEPTIONS!
3. The Scout must be approved by his Scoutmaster.

Additional fee covers a C.O.P.E. T-shirt, bandana and carabineer key chain.
Gear to Bring 1. Long durable pants (Blue jeans) or knee length shorts.
2. No large belt buckles allowed! Web belts or suspenders are suggested due to
the use of a harness.
3. Comfortable footwear (sneakers or boots) in good condition.
