Explorer units can be accepted as campers. At least
one adult leader must be a registered member of the
Boy Scouts of America, but all units must have two
deep leadership for the entire week.
Troop Leadership in
Camp

troop to camp at Gardner Dam is by patrols and under
its own adult leadership. It is the responsibility of
the troop committee to provide the best possible
leadership.
The National Council
of the Boy Scouts of America requires that each troop
must have at least two adult leaders in camp at all
times! One of these must be 21 years of age or older,
the other at least 18 years of age, and one must be
registered.
Additional full-time
leaders are encouraged to attend.
Letter to
Employer
If you are an
employee, Gardner Dam Scout Camp will, upon request,
send a letter to your employer telling them that you
are a leader of boys and that your dedication and
leadership at summer camp is important in the lives of
young persons. If you wish the camp to send such a
letter, please inform the camp director, A letter will
then be mailed directly to your employer.
Insurance
Each camper and
leader is covered by health and accident insurance
paid by the Bay-Lakes Council.
Health
Care
Health Forms - One
form for everyone annually.
All
campers (Scouts and adults) are required to have their

Annual
Health Form

upon their arrival during the

must be signed by a parent or guardian. Leaders should
ensure that the troop's medical records comply with
the following policy:

each camper (Scout and adult) by the camp health
officer occurs upon arrival at camp, This does not
take the place of the medical examination required
before arrival in camp.
Admittance to
camp and participation in camp activities is dependent
upon having a completed health form, medical screening
and the camp health officer's approval.

hospital or doctor for all non-emergency cases unless
an ambulance has been called.
