Scouts read this

Here is some supplementary information that is important for Scouts attending Camp Hohn direct from the camp manual.  Be sure also to read What else do I need to Know about Summer Camp, Be Prepared!, and the packing list.

  1. From the camp manual: "Please leave cell phones at home, or at least leave them with the Scoutmaster 'for emergency use only.'"
  2. All campers -- leaders and Scouts, are reminded that NO cell phones or other photographic equipment are allowed in the camp shower houses at any time.  The reasons should be obvious, and violations could lead to serious consequences.  (Never had a problem with this, and don't want to.)
  3. Scouts with the Senior Patrol leader will assign daily fire marshals in addition to the usual campsite duties.
  4. Keep patrol sites neat and clean.  They will be visitied and judged daily with prizes awarded at the end of the week.
  5. Troops can participate in various activities on a lottery system.  Be prepared to let troop leadership know the interest in signup up for any of these:
    1. Open aquatics and swims at the pool
    2. Fishing
    3. Gaga Ball
    4. Chess near the Trading Post
    5. Troop archery shoot
    6. Troop rifle shoot
    7. Troop climb
    8. Troop swim
    9. Troop boating out-and-about
  6. Two adult leaders must accompany the troop to the shower house
  7. After 10pm Scouts do not leave their campsite without a budy and adult leadership, including for use of showers.
  8. The official uniform is required for all participants, both youth and adults.  Complete field uniforms are to be worn for evening flag ceremonies, vespers, and campfires.
  9. Activity uniforms are appropriate for the rest of the day.  Activity uniforms are Scout pants or shorts, socks, and Scout-related tee shirts.
  10. Among the forms provided to your parents is one for recording all the merit badge prerequisites that you have done. Be sure that that is turned in by time of departure!
