Parking and Vehicles
Park in designated parking areas only. Cars will not be permitted to be parked at troop campsites. Unit trailers may be left in their campsite as long as wheels are blocked and trailer is secured when unattended.
Campsites
Troops will be assigned their campsite upon arrival at the campground. Some sites require that tents be set up on dirt/gravel so bring a ground cloth and sleeping pad.
Please be respectful of the property and practice the principles of Leave No Trace, the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. The Cub Scout area (including pool and all cub activity areas) of Bovay Scout Ranch is off-limits. The unit roster will need to be completed and submitted to Frank Parent or designee the week before the camporee weekend for headcount purposes for the camp rangers.
Cooking and Fires
Each troop will be responsible for its own meals, furnish and cook their own food, as well as provide all equipment for preparation, serving, and cleaning up meals. A fire station/fireguard posting must be in place before any cooking or campfires may occur. No liquid fuels are allowed per SHAC policy, and you may not build an open fire on the ground anywhere. Propane stoves are allowed. Remember that all materials brought in must be taken out.

Freshwater will be available at Webelos Woods. All troops should bring their own containers (with a lid) to transport water back to their campsites as needed.
Disabilities
Scouts with a physical disability are encouraged to participate in all Webelos Woods activities.
Advancements
The troops are encouraged to tailor their round-robin activity to benefit the Scout’s needed advancements. Please work with your host troop to complete requirements during troop time. Troops should review the Life Scout advancement requirements that require the Scouts to teach skills.

Health and safety must be integrated into everything we do, to the point that no injuries are acceptable beyond those that are readily treatable by Scout-rendered first aid. As an aid in the continuing effort to protect participants in Scout activities, the BSA National Health and Safety Committee and the Council Services Division of the BSA National Council has developed the SAFE Checklist of BSA safety procedures for physical activity. These points, which embody good judgment and common sense, are applicable to all activities.
