Leaders’ Guide

Dear Unit Leader,

You can’t take the “Ou�ng” out of Scou�ng. The outdoor program is a feature about Scou�ng that

appeals to boys, and a week at summer camp for a first year camper is something that will bring a

smile to his face. No young man has ever forgo'en the experiences from summer camp if it is the

spectacular view of Colorado’s mountains, the knowledge gained within the variety of merit badge

classes, or the bonding experience with some of his closest friends. Consider also that a unit on its own

can’t duplicate the program, facili�es, and equipment provided at camp. Our camp provides a variety

of program experiences, a fully stocked trading post, campsites and other facili�es to match your unit’s

needs and desires.

We, the staff of San Isabel Scout Ranch, passionately believe our mission is to provide an environment

where all Scouts have fun while developing character, ci�zenship, and personal fitness through the

patrol method, so that Scouts will learn about themselves and come away with a sense of being a

be'er Patrol, Troop, and person.

Advancement, along with the fun factor, is a prime reason a boy stays in Scou�ng... it is a measure of

his success in the program. San Isabel Scout Ranch recognizes that no two Scout troops are alike nor

are any two Scouts, and provides a program to sa�sfy the reasonable needs of everyone. While the

primary objec�ve of Scout camping is to have FUN, our advancement opportuni�es will allow any

Scout to find their niche and be crea�ve. New Scouts can take advantage of our Baden-Powell program

to work on their Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, and 1st Class rank requirements, and all Scouts may work on

merit badges toward advancement.

San Isabel Scout Ranch provides you and your older scouts a wonderful opportunity to challenge

yourselves by offering a unique partnership with Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base. While usually

reserved for crews registered at RMHAB, you and your scouts can now par�cipate in a Wednesday

excursion to the high adventure base for a day of world class Whitewater Ra9ing along the Arkansas

River! We also offer great high adventure ac�vi�es through our Outpost Program.

We have an enthusias�c, well-trained staff that always has a smile on their face that is available to

assist your troop with its program - whether for fun or for training. The San Isabel camp staff is

something that is not put together at the last second; it is something that �me and considera�on is put

into so that the BEST possible staff is produced. We begin the selec�ng and training process for next

summer as soon as the previous summer ends. Training is an ongoing process, which directly relates to

your troop’s successful summer camp experience.

Thank you for choosing San Isabel Scout Ranch this summer!

In the Spirit of Scou�ng,

SISR Camp Director

Camp Services

Commissioner Service: The Commissioner Staff

serves to help your Troop and your Scouts to

access everything San Isabel Scout Ranch has to

offer.

Q The Campsite Commissioners are

ambassadors to your troop.

Q Feel free to visit the Camp Commissioners

any �me to get ques�ons answered.

Q Your Camp Commissioners can help your

troop with several programs including the

Delta Patrol and Honor Unit award.

Adult Leader Mee,ngs: The daily Scout Leader

Mee�ngs are for all adults in camp and are held

at 9:30 AM each day. A'endance at the daily

mee�ngs is highly encouraged.

The purpose of these mee�ngs is to answer your

ques�ons, allow staff to receive feedback,

coordinate

program resource

schedules, provide

Scout skill training,

have fun, and

provide leaders an

opportunity to

enjoy each other's

fellowship.

Senior Patrol

Leader Mee,ngs:

The SPLs from each

troop will meet with the Program Director to

discuss daily ac�vi�es and camp-wide events;

they will plan and coordinate the Friday evening

campfire.

Camp Facili,es

Campsites: The campsites have many new tent

plaQorms, canvas wall tents, picnic tables, and

vault toilet facili�es. All hold approximately 30

people per site.

Dining Hall: Located in the center of camp -

come and enjoy the great food our cook has

prepared for you. Because of the capacity of the

dining hall, some larger weeks eat meals in

shi9s.

Health Lodge: Located next to the Dining hall in

the center of camp. All medica�ons are secured

and dispensed here and the camp health officer

administers first aid. Required by CO law & BSA.

Quartermaster: Located behind the Camp Office

(A-Frame), where your Commissioner can

arrange for all sorts of gear for use by your

Troop, such as gear for service projects,

overnight outpost camping, or for games.

Shower house: Our brand new shower house

has 16 individual locking stalls with changing

areas. The showers are open 24 hours to all.

To help us enforce Youth Protec�on

Guidelines, please prohibit cell phones/

cameras from being taken into the

shower house by adults or youth. There are

places to charge such devices in other areas of

camp.

Trading post: Located next to

the Health lodge in the center of

camp, the San Isabel Scout Ranch

Trading Post Staff works very

hard to provide Scouts and

Leaders with all of their program

needs, a variety of snacks, and a

large variety of souvenirs.

The Trading post is open during

program hours, and other �mes

as noted. A typical Scout spends

about $50.00 while at camp.

Health and Safety

Al,tude Sickness: San Isabel Scout Ranch is

located at 9,000 feet above sea level… it takes a

couple days to acclimate to the higher al�tude.

All Scouts and Scout leaders should be

physically prepared for the rigors of the Rocky

Mountains.

Symptoms of al�tude sickness can become

evident within two hours of arrival at camp.

These symptoms can include headache,

dizziness, and nausea. Any of these symptoms

should be reported to the Camp Health Lodge as

soon as possible. These symptoms typically

relent within a day or two.

Page 8: 2013 San Isabel Scout Ranch Leader's Guide - Rocky Mountain

San Isabel Scout Ranch Leaders’ Guide

Page 4

We recommend that Troops coming from lower

al�tudes camp Saturday night along the front

range of the Rocky Mountains at an eleva�on of

4,500-6,000’ to gradually acclimate to the 9,000’

eleva�on at camp. Drink lots of water!!!

Bears: SISR and its residents are fortunate to

share their corner of the Wet Mountains with a

number of local animals… one of the most

spectacular and misunderstood of these

creatures are the black bears. It is important for

Scouts staying at San Isabel Scout Ranch to

remember that we are the visitors in the bears'

natural habitat, and we should act accordingly.

There are bears in the area. If you

properly prepare for the bears, you

may see them but there will not be any

serious issues. This means Scouts and leaders

should not keep food or other "smellables" (e.g.

deodorant, toothpaste, etc) in their campsites

unsecured. San Isabel Scout Ranch recommends

that “smellables” be stored in a troop trailer in

your campsite. If you are not arriving at camp

with a trailer, other arrangements can be made.

Please avoid the use of bear bags, and avoid

leaving food items in automobiles parked in the

SISR Parking Lot.

Dehydra,on: A serious health concern easily

prevented. All campers are encouraged to drink

water frequently… soda pop is not an effec�ve

subs�tute.

Everyone should carry a personal water bo'le

wherever drinking water is not immediately

available.

Fires: San Isabel is in an extremely high fire

danger area and has frequently been under a

fire ban. If fires are permi'ed, they must be in

the campsites and only in the established fire

pit. At least one adult must supervise the fire at

all �mes.

Health History and Physical: Good camp health

is based on knowledge of the physical condi�ons

of everyone who comes to camp.

All Par,cipants (adult & youth) are required by

Colorado Law to submit the BSA Health Form,

Parts A-C and the COLORADO IMMUNIZATION

supplement (Can be found in the “Forms”

sec�on at the end of this guide – make copies)

We are required to retain one (1) copy

permanently, so make two (2) copies –

one for you, one for us.

The form must be current within one (1) year of

arrival at camp and the health history must be

updated within ninety (90) days before arrival

at camp.

This form may be downloaded from the council

web site www.SISRBSA.org. All adults and youth

members a'ending San Isabel Scout Ranch

should consult their physician if they have any

health issues that may affect their safety or

enjoyment of San Isabel Scout Ranch.

Health Officer and Lodge: Our Health Lodge is

equipped with supplies to handle most injuries

in camp. A Health Officer is on site and

available 24 hours a day to handle

emergencies.

Insurance: San Isabel Scout Ranch does not carry

camper health and accident insurance for out-of

-council troops. The Scoutmaster must provide

San Isabel Scout Ranch with verifica�on of

insurance coverage for your troop, which must

include the policy number and at least one claim

form. If your troop does not carry accident

insurance, individual private insurance numbers

and claim forms (for each Scout and leader) are

acceptable.

Lightning: Summer storms occasionally strike

San Isabel Scout Ranch, bringing ligh�ng with

them.

Page 9: 2013 San Isabel Scout Ranch Leader's Guide - Rocky Mountain

San Isabel Scout Ranch Leaders’ Guide

Page 5

During a thunder storm head for cover, stay

away from tall trees, wires, or plumbing.

Get out of open spaces like the lake and

meadow – stay away from the flagpoles.

Medica,ons: Under Colorado State Law, anyone

bringing medica�on to camp must follow certain

procedures.

ALL MEDICATIONS (for both youth and

adults) must be turned in to the Health

Officer upon arrival at camp; this

includes prescrip�on medica�ons and over-the-

counter medica�ons, vitamins, and herbal

supplements. All medica�on must be in the

original container, marked with the campers

name and Troop number.

To speed the process of medicine check-in,

parents and adults can fill out the Rou�ne Drug

Administra�on Record found in the forms

sec�on of this guide for each Scout and Adult

that will be taking medica�ons during their stay

at camp.

Medica�ons will be returned to the troop adult

leader at the end of the camping week. Only

Health Lodge Staff may dispense medica�on to

Adults and Scouts while at San Isabel Scout

Ranch.

Sunburn: At high al�tude, sunburn can occur at

a much faster rate than at sea level – less

atmosphere to protect you. Be prepared!

Your son has signed up for a wonderful

Scou�ng experience with his Troop at San

Isabel Scout Ranch

this summer. He

will have fun and

grow his Scou�ng

skills. Here are a

few sugges�ons on

what you, as

parents, can do to

make his

experience the

best.

Facili,es: Troop

campsites include

canvas wall tents; many on plaQorms.

No ma'resses are provided, so your son

should bring a portable cot and foam pad.

Warm showers are available for as long as

the heated water lasts… the early bird gets

the warm shower!

Labels: While San Isabel is a Scout Camp,

things do get misplaced and some boys find

it hard to resist the tempta�on of

"borrowing" the belongings of others. Please

label your son’s clothing and equipment

with his name and troop number for easy

iden�fica�on.

Packing: Your son’s Patrol Leader should

provide assistance with what to pack. Be

sure to help your son by reminding him all

Scouts should be prepared for the rigors of

the Rocky Mountains. Use the Boy Scout

mo'o “Be Prepared” and the a'ached gear

list to guide your selec�on of gear to bring.

Your son’s Patrol Leader or Scoutmaster can

make a copy of the a'ached gear list for

you.

Medical Service: Colorado State regula,ons

require that all Scouts and Leaders must

have had a physical examina�on within the

past twelve (12) months prior to arriving at

camp and informa�on that has been

updated within ninety (90) days prior to

arrival at camp.

Colorado

Law

requires the

use of the Colorado

Immuniza,on

supplement and the

BSA Health Form,

Parts A-C, available

through the Rocky

Mountain council

and a'ached to this

guide. This form

may also be downloaded from the San Isabel

page at www.SISRBSA.org.

If your son has any special needs, be sure to

note them on the Medical Examina�on

Form. Tell your Scoutmaster about his needs

and make sure that he or your son brings

any required medica�on with him.

The camp menu can be altered to

accommodate special dietary needs IF we

are given advance no�ce; however, Scouts

must provide any special foodstuffs required

by their diet that are not part of the normal

fare. Please make use of the Dietary Needs

Request Form in the Forms sec�on of this

guide.

Program: Scouts have the opportunity to

expand their outdoor knowledge, test their

capabili�es, and enjoy the fellowship that

abounds with each week’s group of

campers. The San Isabel Scout Ranch

program provides the opportunity for Scouts

to work on over 40 outdoor-related merit

badges.

Each Scout should have �me scheduled for

both personal achievement and fun. Parents

and leaders are cau�oned not to place an

Informa,on for Parents

Page 11: 2013 San Isabel Scout Ranch Leader's Guide - Rocky Mountain

San Isabel Scout Ranch Leaders’ Guide

Page 7

over-emphasis on advancement.

Though many Scouts earn from 3

to 5 merit badges during their

week at camp, first year campers

may spend most of their �me

focusing on skills that lead

toward advancement to First

Class rank.

Remember that camp is a place

where your son will learn many

valuable lessons, such as fair

play, teamwork, leadership,

budge�ng his money, geXng

along with others, experiencing

new outdoor challenges, and

making new friends… but most of all, have

FUN!

Specific program details are covered

in the Program Guide available at

www.SISRBSA.org.

Trading Post: The Trading Post at San Isabel

Scout Ranch is fully stocked to handle most

of the needs of the Scouts and Scout leaders

during their stay at camp. Camping supplies,

comfort items, souvenirs, advancement

materials, ice cream, candy, and postage

stamps are all available at the Camp Trading

Post.

Seventy-five dollars is enough to meet most

souvenir, snack, and merit badge material

needs during the week. Remember a few

extra dollars for the trip to and from camp.

Visitors at Camp: Families are always

welcome at San Isabel Scout Ranch, but all

adults remaining overnight MUST be

registered leaders in Scou�ng.

Make sure that your troop gives no�ce of

your visit during check-in.

Once you arrive please report immediately

to the Camp Office and check-in.

Meals cost $5.00 per person for family

members three years of age and older.

A9er your visit please be sure to check out

at the Camp Office by 10:00 p.m.

Special Dietary Needs Request

At San Isabel Scout Ranch we strive to provide the best possible service possible to each and

every camper. Some�mes campers have special dietary needs. In order to best provide for

these campers, we ask that you fill out this form and submit it at least two weeks prior to

your arrival at camp.

SISR can make accommoda�ons for many special dietary needs (i.e., vegetarian, Kosher,

peanut allergies, etc.) but it is much easier with advance no�ce. There are certain dietary

requirements that are difficult to accommodate at camp. Please provide us with the most

accurate informa�on on each dietary request and contant informa�on. If we will have

difficulty accommoda�ng your request, someone will be in contact with you before your

arrival at camp. Thank you!
