Webelos Resident camp is an important stepping stone for their advancement towards becoming a Boy Scout. The Scouting Programs here at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation continues to offer excitement and adventure: Aquatics, Climbing, Shooting Sports, Scoutcraft, and Arts & Sciences. We thank you for your interest in the Flaming Arrow Webelos Resident Camp program. Please use this Leader’s Guide to help with the planning of an enjoyable resident camp experience.

Camping is the great outdoor adventure of Scouting. As a Scout becomes at home in the outdoors, they learn some of the skills, resourcefulness, and self-reliance of the pioneer. The aims and methods of Scouting are all pertinent in the outdoor camping experience. Resident camping is perhaps the best opportunity for Scouts to fully immerse themselves in the outdoor experience. The resident camp schedule includes time for a Scout to achieve personal advancement, bond with his Pack and fellow Scouts, and participate in activities of a personal interest.

All Packs should attend a resident camp program. Resident camp is vital for advancement progress, team building, and leadership development for Scouts. There is something for all ages of Scouts. Webelos I scouts can work on earning activity pins and belt loops. Webelos II scouts can get involved with all the fun things that Boy Scouts do, and get excited about crossing over. As your Pack begins making plans for the coming year, remember to include resident camp. If

securing adequate adult leadership for a week of resident camp is a challenge, let us know. We can partner your Pack with another that has ample adult leadership. If you have Scouts that are not able to attend Resident Camp with your Pack for whatever reason, let us know. At Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, we offer Provisional Camping, which forms patrols of individual Scouts who wouldn’t otherwise have been able to attend resident camp. Provisional campers are supervised by adult volunteers and Camp staff. The bottom line is, as a Pack leader, make the commitment to provide the opportunity for ALL of your Scouts to attend Resident Camp. The Gulf Ridge Council is committed to helping you provide these opportunities. There are campership funds available for Gulf Ridge Council Scouts in need (more information on page 7). Provisional camping is a growing trend, especially for younger Scouts whose Packs attend Resident Camp out of state, far away from home. If you have other obstacles, please contact us at (813) 872-2691 and we will find a way to help you.

Arapaho: All Scouts deserve the opportunity to attend Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation regardless of any disability or handicap they may have. Campsite Arapaho has been designed to accommodate Scouts with special needs. The campsite is conveniently located in camp with sidewalks leading to the Trading Post, Dining Hall, Basketball Courts, Council Ring, Handicraft Area, Chapel, and handicap shower facility. Please notify the Camp Director when making Pack reservations if these facilities will be needed. Arapaho, Blackfoot, and Cheyenne: These campsites are equipped with Adirondacks. Adirondacks sleep up to six individuals, for a total of twenty four people per campsite. These Adirondacks, pictured above, are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis with full payment. Hopi: Campsite Hopi will be available for those units who would like to bring their own tents. Hopi has a large amount of open space and its own restroom facility.

All Campsites used during Resident Camp have electrical outlets. Adirondacks and pavilions are also lighted and screened. All Bathhouses have lights and hot water. Usage of the electricity in the pavilions and Adirondacks is limited to small appliances, such as phone chargers, fans, coffee pots, etc. Large amperage appliances are not allowed, such as microwaves, air conditioners, stereo equipment, hot plates, electric stoves, etc. Do NOT make any modifications or “upgrades” to the Adirondack or pavilion facility structures. This includes using nails, staples, tape, visqueen or plastic sheeting, tarps, etc. If you have a campsite preference, make sure you get your reservation and full payment as soon as possible. The earlier we receive your reservation and payment, the better we will be able to accommodate you.

*Adirondacks will not be assigned without FULL PAYMENT* *We will do our best to honor your request for a specific campsite*

*Please do not assume you have been assigned the campsite you have requested*

Starting at 2:00 PM (Check-in will NOT begin prior to 2:00 PM)

Swim Classification Procedures The swim classification of individuals participating in a Boy Scouts of America activi-ty is a key element in both Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. All persons partici-pating in BSA Aquatics activities are classified according to swimming ability. The classification test procedures have been developed and structured to demonstrate a skill level consistent with the circumstances in which the individual will be in the wa-ter. The Swimmer’s Test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability for recreation and instructional activity in a confined body of water with a maximum 12-foot depth and with shallow water footing or a pool or pier edge always within 25 feet of the swimmer. Swimmer’s Test: Jump feet first into wa-ter over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: side stroke, breast stroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy rest-ing back stroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and in-clude at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. Refer to Guide to Safe Scouting for test administration.

You can expect several things from your Camp Commissioners. First, any challenges that you have with your campsite will be referred to a Commissioner, whether it is not having hot water or if a tent is broken. In addition to this he or she (or a representative of theirs) will also conduct campsite inspections, using the inspection sheet at the back of this guide, as well as administer the Honor Pack Award weekly found at the back of this guide. Finally, at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, you can expect the Commissioners to drop off hot coffee before flag ceremony every morning. National Guidelines

The following policies have been adopted to provide additional security for the Scouts participating in the 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 adult leaders or one registered adult leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 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. No one-on-one contact: One-on-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 issues need to be addressed. Separate accommodations: When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his own parent or guardian. Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation provides signs to mark when bath houses are in use by Male or Females. Proper preparation for high-endurance activities: Activities with elements of risk should not be undertaken without proper preparation, supervision, and safety measures. Boy Scouts of America Smoke-Free Policy: It is policy to provide a smoke-free environment for all Scouting participants. Therefore, tobacco products are not allowed at Camp (please refer to your Guide to Safe Scouting and Camp and Health & Safety Guide.) Thank You for your assistance!

GENERAL: Rules are made for the safety of campers, protection of equipment, and to provide fairness to all. The best rules are the

Scout Oath and Scout Law mixed with a good dose of common sense. To avoid any misunderstanding, the following also apply at all

Gulf Ridge Council camping facilities. Unit leaders are responsible for ensuring that each adult camping at Gulf Ridge Council

camping facilities are aware of this code of conduct. Leaders will acknowledge that all adults are aware of this Code on the Camp Use

Permit. All adults are asked to remind adults who are observed in violation of this Code to cease such conduct. One violation will result

in a warning. A second violation may result in expulsion from camp.

LEADERSHIP: All units using camp must have a minimum of two (2) adults present at all times. The adult leader in charge must be at

least twenty-one (21) years of age. The second leader must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Pack camping and Webelos Den

overnighter events must be under the leadership of adults trained in accordance with National Boy Scouts of America Standards. All

leaders must adhere to the policies contained in the Guide to Safe Scouting and Youth Protection standards. An expulsion for violation

of this Code which leaves a unit without minimum adult attendance will result in the entire unit leaving camp.

PRIVACY: Adults must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp.

Adults must also protect their own privacy in similar situations. No youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of any adult other than his/her

own parent or guardian. Proper attire for activities is required. Discipline used in Scouting should be constructive and reflect Scouting’s

values. Corporal punishment is never permitted. Physical hazing and initiations are prohibited.

CLOTHING: Adults must ensure that they wear appropriate camping attire. The Field uniform and the “Activity uniform” are always

appropriate. Non-Scouting T-shirts are discouraged. Sexually suggestive clothing, garments with sexually suggestive, vulgar, or drug

related wordings and/or graphics and clothing which provokes or may tend to provoke violence shall not be worn. The Boy Scouts of

America Congressional Charter prohibits Scouts from wearing imitation United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps uniforms for

Scouting activities. In order to comply with this mandate, the Boy Scouts of America does not permit the wearing of camouflage or

combat-type military clothing in Scouting activities. Exceptions to this policy (such as Sea Scouts, Venturing Crews chartered by

ROTC units, military personnel, etc…) will be handled on a case by case basis prior to the unit’s arrival at camp.

PROHIBITED ON CAMP PROPERTIES: --Personal firearms, bows and arrows, sheath knives or ammunition of any kind in the possession of any Camper.

--Fireworks of any kind.

--Alcoholic beverages, marijuana, or other unlawful drugs

--Tobacco products – BSA national and Gulf Ridge Council regulations prohibit use of tobacco products on any council owned or

operated property at any time. There is no designated smoking area at any Council owned or operated facility. Tobacco products may

be possessed by adults but must not be in view or used. Adults should support the attitude that youth are better off without tobacco.

FIRES: Request and follow the ranger’s/program director’s instructions on the number and locations of fires. Observe fire bans. When

permitted, fires must be confined to established fire rings. Fires must not be built up to dangerous or nuisance proportions, must be

tended at all times and must be fully extinguished. The use of liquid fuels for starting any fires is prohibited. Compressed or liquid gas

stoves or lanterns will be used only under adult supervision and control. No flames of any type are permitted in tents.

VEHICLES: Vehicles, other than camp, emergency, and authorized work and handicap vehicles, are not permitted beyond the

designated parking lot. Campers must plan to hike from the designated parking area to your assigned campsite. Trailers are available to

move gear to the campsites but will make only one trip per unit to the campsite. Handicap vehicles must remain parked at the

designated site for the duration of the camping event. The speed limit on the camp entry road and interior roads is 7 miles per hour.

CAMP ACTIVITY HOURS: All activities will occur within hours published for each camping event. Other times are quiet times.

During quiet times all groups will remain within their assigned campsites and be considerate of others. This includes the use of audio or

A/V equipment that may be heard within other campsites. Do not enter other campsites without the permission of that site’s unit

leader. Use of camp buildings without permission during quiet times is prohibited. Quiet time is at 10 pm and lights out is at 11pm.

SANITATION: Units are responsible for cleaning all facilities, including latrines and grounds in campsites and in surrounding areas

and roadways. Units will take all trash and garbage bags to designated dumpsters. Follow Leave No Trace principles.

USE OF CAMP BUILDINGS: Camp buildings may be used only as requested and approved on the Camp Use Permit, upon payment

of the appropriate building use fee. Any unauthorized use of buildings will result in imposition of the building use fee.

RESONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE: Units are financially responsible for any damage to their assigned campsite, activity facilities and

equipment and for damage caused by their Scouts, parents, and leaders.

ENFORCEMENT: Camp Rangers/Program Directors will not interfere with group activities except in the case of violation of camp

rules, this Code of Conduct, or un-Scout-like behavior. Camp Rangers/Program Directors will report violations to the group leader,

who, in turn, will see that the rules are observed. Camp Rangers/Program Directors have the authority to expel individuals or units from

camp if the conduct warrants. Anyone asked to leave will not receive a refund. Local law enforcement may be notified if necessary.
