Necessary Forms to Attend CampAs stated previously in this publication, you will need to submit several forms upon arrival in camp. Below is a brief description of these forms.

TOUR & ACTIVITY PLAN—Effective March 1, 2011, Tour Permits were replaced by the BSA Tour & Activity Plan. In short, units inside the Utah National Parks Council no longer need to file a document with the council prior to attending camp (it is retained within the unit). Units attending a camp outside of the council will need to follow their council’s policy.

MEDICAL FORM—Each boy and adult attending camp must have a completed Annual Health & Medical Record signed by a doctor. There is a new medical form available on the council website (2010 version). Read it carefully as requirements have changed. All persons who will be in camp 72 hours or more must bring the completed medical form, parts A, B and C. See the form for more details.

VERIFICATION OF ACCIDENT INSURANCE—Each unit must provide its own accident insurance. In most cases, this will be a secondary policy to that of the boy’s own family. Troops who do not have accident insurance may choose to purchase the BSA Accident Insurance. Contact the Council Service Center for information. Units should submit the signed verification to certify that they are covered by accident insurance. Groups sponsored by the LDS Church DO NOT need to submit this form as we have a blanket policy on file.

UNIT ROSTER—Each group should provide a complete unit roster upon check-in. It should list each participant’s name, age, home phone number, and parent’s name. This is an important part of our camp emergency action plan, so please provide complete information.

SWIM CHECK ROSTER FORM—This should be done prior to camp. If completed prior to camp, please come prepared with the form filled out and signed by the appropriate individuals.

REQUEST FOR RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FORM—If a boy or adult will refuse to have medical treatment based on their religious beliefs, the camp and/or unit needs to be notified in writing. Use this form if it applies to someone in your group.

SCOUT RELEASE REQUEST FORM—If a boy will be picked-up from camp early he must be released from the person that originally brought him. Use this form if it applies to someone in your group.

Necessary Forms to Use at CampNot explained in this publication, but you will receive details at camp how to use these documents (we just wanted you to know in advance ways your group can distinguish itself from other units at camp, or items you will need to complete before leaving camp on Saturday).

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: CAMPSITE INSPECTION SHEET—Evaluated your campsite when you first arrive in camp, then again as you leave; indicate any problems or repairs required of our camp ranger.

CAMP DUTY ROSTER—Have members of each patrol know in advance their assigned camp position each camp to ensure these duties and responsibilities are completed in a timely manner. If your troop is using the Central Dining Plan you can adjust these positions accordingly.

DAILY INSPECTION SHEET—Each day (Tuesday – Friday) your Senior Patrol Leader will be asked to evaluate your troop and its campsite. Then he and a staff commissioner will evaluate them on additional items. Your score is a requirement for those striving to earn either the Baden-Powell Honor Unit Award, or our top recognition—the Scofield Silver Honor Oar (Sco-Sho) Award.

TOTIN’ CHIP / FIREM’N CHIT CARD—Help your Scouts learn to respect woods tools by having their earn the rights to use these resources. Before anyone can either purchase a pocketknife from the Trading Post, or use one he brought to camp, he must first earn/re-earn a Totin’ Chip Card. Each leader must ensure his Scouts are using these tools properly. In 2010, 65 boys required stiches from knife injuries—not from the Woodcarving Merit Badge, but as a result of carelessness in their campsites!

CAMP FEEDBACK & EVALUATION FORM—Feedback is a gift and we value you and your troop’s critique of camp. We ask simple questions that can be filled out during the week if desired. Tell us about ways our staff made a difference to your group, or let us know how to improve the program areas.

Camp Health & Accident Insurance Policy

Many church organizations that sponsor Scouting have accident policies that cover their Troops year round. It is the responsibility of every youth, adult and troop attending a Utah National Parks Council resident camp or high adventure base to provide, at their own expense, health and accident medical insurance.

Make sure every youth and adult attending lists their health and accident medical insurance company and policy number on their Annual Health & Medical Record.

In addition, every troop must fill out this Unit Accident Insurance Verification form. Bring this form with you to camp. Troops sponsored by the LDS Church DO NOT need to submit this form as we have a blanket policy on file.

Please Read:

Swim Classification Procedures:The swim classification of individuals participating in a BSA aquatics activity is a key element in both Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. The swim classification tests should be renewed annually, preferably at the beginning of each outdoor season. Traditionally, the swim classification test has only been conducted at a long-term summer camp. However, there is no restriction that this be the only place the test is conducted. It may be more useful to conduct the swim classification prior to a unit going to summer camp. All persons participating in BSA aquatics are classified according to swimming ability. The classification tests and test procedures have been developed and structured to demonstrate a skill level consistent with the circumstances in which the individual will be in the water. The Swimmer’s Test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability required for safe deep-water swimming. The Beginner’s Test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability for recreational and instructional activity in a confined body of water with a maximum 6-foot depth, and with shallow water footing or a pool or pier edge always within 25 feet of the swimmer.

The various components of each test evaluate the several skills essential to the minimum level of swimming ability. Each step of the test is important and should be followed as listed below:

Swimmer’s Test. Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting back stroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.

Beginner’s Test. Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume swimming as before, and return to starting place.

Administration of Test. The swim classification test should be conducted by a person experienced in swimming instruction. Resource people for conducting the test include: BSA Aquatics Instructor, BSA Lifeguard, certified lifeguard, swimming instructor, or swim coach. When the unit goes to summer camp each individual will be issued a buddy tag under the direction of the Aquatics Director for use at the camp.

Youth Request For Religious Exemption From Medical Care & Treatment

We request that _____________________________ age_______ of (city)_________________________, (state)________________ be exempt on religious grounds from all vaccinations and/or immunizations required for attendance to Scofield Scout Camp operated by the Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America.

A valid tour plan (filed with your unit). Out of council troops follow their council policy.

A medical exam form for every boy and adult.

A signed insurance verification form certifying your unit is covered by accident insurance. (We have a blanket policy on file for all troops sponsored by the LDS Church. Therefore, these troops do not need to submit this form).

Troops must comply with these guidelines while en route to and while attending camp. Please note that in order to file a tour plan, you must:

Have a minimum of two adult leaders. Have all adults trained in Youth Protection guidelines. Meet all transportation guidelines, including the use of seatbelts. Certify that the tour leader has in his possession and has read the Guide to Safe Scouting.

Additional items include:

Get the Most Out of Camp

Here are some suggestions for getting the most out of your camp experience:1. Plan your program in advance. The Scoutmaster should meet with each Scout well before camp to

discuss his current advancement needs and interests. Determine what Merit Badges and activities the Scout will pursue at camp.

2. At camp, be sure to attend the Scoutmaster Meeting on Monday-Thursday afternoon at 2:30 pm (Friday at 11:30am) in the conference room of the frontier building. Be sure your Senior Patrol Leader attends the daily SPL meetings in the same location at 10:30 Monday (Scoutmaster invited to attend this session), and 11:30am Tuesday-Friday.

3. Follow up during the week on the Merit Badge progress of your Scouts. You can do this by stopping at any program area and asking the instructor to see the listing for your troop.

4. Don’t over-program. Merit Badges are important, but camp offers more than just badges. Make sure there is time for additional activities.

5. Where possible, have the same leaders remain in camp all week. This provides a consistent discipline structure and a coordinated program.

6. Participate in the full camp program—flag ceremonies, campfires, games, and the sharing of personal values, are important parts of the summer camp experience and the methods of Scouting. Failure to participate lessens the impact of summer camp in the lives of your Scouts.

7. Follow the safety guidelines in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Nothing ruins a fun activity more quickly than a serious accident. Be safe.

Senior Patrol Leader Responsibilities Attend scheduled SPL Meetings to receive information about camp activities and to plan events for

your troop. Hold Patrol Leaders’ Council at your campsite to share information and plan troop activities. Keep

your patrol leaders informed about patrol activities. Work with your staff commissioner to coordinate daily campsite inspections as part of the Baden

Powell Honor Unit Award and Sco-Sho Award. Have a troop yell prepared for commissioner area and camp wide flag ceremonies. Set the example by wearing the proper uniform and showing Scout spirit. Work with the Scoutmaster to maintain good discipline in the troop and to make assignments.

Scoutmaster Responsibilities Attend scheduled Scoutmaster Meetings to receive camp information and share valuable feedback. Maintain troop discipline and organization through the Senior Patrol Leader. Encourage and assist Scouts in their Merit Badge and rank advancement efforts. Join in the camp activities (Scoutmasters can have fun, too; make sure you earn the new Scoutmaster

Merit Badge—exclusive to Scofield Scout Camp!). Work with your troop committee to ensure proper planning, transportation and coordination for the

trip; share information with parents before leaving home!
