and understanding in this hectic period of planning and preparing Day Camp for your
scout. We will all Do Our Best to make this a great week for you and your son!
Registration times will be listed in the Day Camp Director’s Letter you will receive
once you register for camp.
Tigers will be able to attend day camp all week, provided they have an adult partner to
accompany them. Please note the adult partner will not be considered staff, and will not
qualify for the staff rate, nor will the tot lot be available for younger siblings. The adult
partner is considered a “camper,” and will need to submit a health form.
Thank you for sending your son to Day Camp this year! If you can give us a week to
volunteer in our camp, your son can attend camp for a reduced rate. If you are
interested, please let me know as soon as possible so you can be interviewed and

Cub Scout Day Camp Camp Rules and Behavior Policy
Dear Cub Scout Family, Your son's 7me at camp will be fun filled and a memorable learning experience. The central goal of Cub Scout Day Camp is to meet new Scouts and make friends while having fun in the outdoors. It is important that the rules be followed and discipline be maintained so that everyone fully enjoys the camping experience. Please carefully review the Camp Rules and Behavior Policy as a family, sign it, and return with camp paperwork. Camp Rules 1. All staff members follow the Youth Protec7on Guidelines. 2. All Scouts follow the Buddy System at ALL TIMES. 3. No weapons, even toy replicas, may be brought into camp. 4. No electronic devices, trading cards, or chewing gum may be brought into camp. 5. No running, except as directed by the Sports Area Director. 6. Rocks and s7cks remain on the ground. 7. All Scouts & adults will use appropriate language. 8. Respect one another. 9. No threatening harm to another person or living being, including animals. 10. No figh7ng or aggressive physical contact with intent to do harm. Camp Behavior Policy As camp staff, we want the week of camp to have a posi7ve impact on all Scouts. Therefore, we would like to outline our discipline policy for you to review with your son. Should an infrac7on occur, we will use the following policy: 1. The first 7me a camper breaks a rule, the staff member will explain the broken rule and why it is important for that rule to be followed. 2. A\er the second incident the Camp Director(s) and the Scout will discuss the rule and infrac7on. 3. Should inappropriate behavior con7nue, the third incident will result in no7fica7on of the Scout’s parent(s). If this situa7on should occur, the Camp Director(s), the Scout's parents and the Scout will work together to decide on the next step. This step may be another chance or immediate dismissal from camp. Any further ac7ons necessary at this 7me will also be discussed between the Camp Director(s), Pine Tree Council, and the parents. Please be aware that should your son be sent home, Pine Tree Council will NOT refund any remaining fees for the week. Although few cases ever reach this point, it is important to have this policy in place. All discipline ac7ons are presented in a posi7ve manner and are aimed at helping the Scout grow. By signing below you are agreeing to follow the Camp Rules and Behavior Policy. __________________________________ ______________________________ ___________ Scout Signature Parent Signature Date 2015 CUB SCOUT SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM RESERVATION FORM
