2012 CUB SCOUT GOLD RUSH FALL FAMILY CAMPING EVENT

CAMP JOHN J. BARNHARDT

October 19-21, 2012 Welcome to the Gold Rush! Where boys and their families experience the excitement of the outdoors. Memories

that will last a lifetime begin the moment you start setting up your tent and will continue until you leave camp.

Dreams develop and are brought to life before your very eyes.

This campout is planned for all members of the Central North Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America. Tiger

Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts and their families are encouraged to attend this annual event.

This guide gives parents and Pack leaders the information needed to plan for the Gold Rush. Packs will register

online between September 1st - October 5

th. Individual registration is not allowed. Packs have until October 10

th to

edit their online registration. No new packs will be allowed to register after the October 5th

deadline. Only

one person should handle the online registration for the entire pack. The cost is $15.00 per Cub Scout and $10

per participating sibling. Information is also available at the Council Website, centralnccouncilbsa.com.

This guide was prepared to help address the rules, expected behaviors and ever-present questions for this annual

Cub event for the Central NC Council. It is expected that, at a minimum, each Cub Pack leader planning or

attending this event with their unit will have read its content prior to their participation. It is also expected that the

content of the guide is communicated to all participating Scouts and parents. It is hoped that at least one copy of

this guide is present onsite with the unit during the event as a reference guide.

Some rules specified in this guide may be more stringent that BSA policy but will be enforced for this event. If

there are conflicting opinions on rules for the event, the written rules within this guide will be the determining

factor. Any ambiguity in these rules will be clarified by a consensus of the event planning committee.

ALL participants are expected to adhere to the event rules

The Central North Carolina Council Scouters look forward to providing each of you a fantastic weekend filled with

FUN, ADVENTURE, and QUALITY TIME for all families in attendance. Life can’t get any better than what this

weekend will provide between a child and his family – no matter what the combination – father/son, mother/son,

total family, grandparent/grandson. Mark your calendars now, and take time to read all the information provided in

this guide. “Be Prepared” to have a great time!

Central NC Council Right to Use Images/Communications of Camp Participants: By attending any/all of the Central NC Council Camps or Events, all participants (youth, adult and their parents, guardians, and family members) grant to the Central NC Council the right to use their picture, image, or sound recording of any type in promotional and marketing materials.

PREPARATION FOR CAMP

1. An extremely important function of your planning is informing parents of Camp plans. Prior to camp, set a date and hold a parents information meeting. You will need to make copies of the guidebook and see that each parent receives a copy. Make sure all forms are filled out correctly and completely.

Once you have all the forms for each participating family, give them to the person responsible for

online registration. Remember, only one person per Pack is to use the online registration. This guide

also includes all the necessary forms, a list of what to bring to camp, Camp Barnhardt policies and

procedures, and a map of the camp.

2. Arrange for transportation to and from camp. Have everyone who is going to camp meet at a central

location and carpool to camp, if possible. Be sure every driver has a map to camp and the camp

phone number. Share cell phone numbers, in case someone becomes separated from the group.

3. Have an experienced family (someone who has been to camp) mentor a new inexperience family (someone who has never been to camp) by driving to camp together and helping to locate your assigned campsite for the weekend.

4. To help late arrivals find other members of their Pack, some leaders are setting up “Pack Number

Signs” on the roads inside camp. Use real estate or political sign standards to write the Pack number

on it. A fluorescent background with dark lettering shows up really well. These signs must be removed

when you leave camp Sunday morning.

5. Vehicle Pass: Each pack will be given one (1) Vehicle Pass. Each pack may have only one (1)

vehicle at a time (20 minutes max) in its designated campsite for transporting gear between 3:30pm -

7:00 pm Friday night (7:00am - 9:00am Saturday) and after that time ALL equipment must either be

taken in by camp vehicle or by hand. One (1) Vehicle Pass per unit will be included in your packet.

Equipment trailers may be left in the campsite, but ALL other vehicles must be returned to parking lot.

We must have your cooperation in this matter.

6. Game Pass: Games are to be set-up in the action field between 7 - 9:30am on Saturday. You will

need a “Game Pass” to enter the activity field to set up the game and to enter the game field to

retrieve the game at the end of the day (one game pass per game will be issued in your Gold Rush

Packet). Games should be taken down between 4 - 6 pm on Saturday.

7. Identification For All Children…Please Read! Parents and leaders should consider making nametags to be worn by every youth. We recommend that you include the Name, Pack number, District, and Campsite assignment on the tag, and laminate the tags for longer wear. Use a safety pin to fasten to shirts or they may be worn around the neck on a lanyard. Because so many are wearing the same uniform, it is easy to loose track of your child. If you become separated from your child at anytime, the nametag will provide accurate identification and campsite location information. This will expedite the relocation of “lost” parents.

8. Pack T-shirts: Some Packs have purchased their own T-shirts, using either a standard or a custom

design logo and the pack number – this helps identify your group in a large crowd.

9. A “What to Bring List” is included in the appendix. This list is meant as a guide. Use your

judgment in choosing what to bring to camp.

Weather: Camp will take place rain or shine. Camp Barnhardt can experience different types of weather conditions

this time of year. During these times, we may adjust some of the activities due to weather conditions. Nighttime

and early morning temperatures can be rather cold in October. Watch the weather forecast before coming to camp

and plan accordingly. Bring clothing to keep warm, wear sweaters, heavy coat, and bring extra blankets just in

case. In any event, be sure to stay hydrated.

Taps: Taps occurs at 10pm. All campers are expected to be in their campsites by that time.

Quiet Hours: 10pm – 6am, please keep voices low and be considerate of sleeping campers. “A Scout is Courteous.”

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Health Lodge: The health lodge is staffed 24 hours a day by persons trained to handle minor accidents or

illness. All injuries, regardless of the extent, must be reported to and treated at the Health Lodge. If needed, more

serious cases will be treated at Stanly Regional Medical Center in Albemarle. If the parents of a Scout are not in

camp during the weekend they must indicate, on the health form, where they can be contacted in the event of an

emergency.

Every person who attends camp must have a completed Health History medical form.

Medications at Camp: Medications should NEVER be in a Scout’s possession unless for emergencies. Scouts are allowed to carry items and medications, such as inhalers or epi-pens, which are routinely carried on their person.

Fire and Emergency Alarms: Camp Barnhardt has an emergency alarm system in the event of a serious

emergency, such as severe weather or fire. Every campsite has a designated structure to report to in the case

of a tornado or electrical storm. All scouts and leaders need to know where to go. Camp Emergency

procedures will be posted in each campsite shelter and will be reviewed at the Unit Leader’s Cracker Barrel

Friday night.

Shoes: For safety reasons, all persons must wear shoes at all times. Open toe shoes are not permitted in camp. Sandals and Aqua Socks may be worn inside the showers. While walking to the showers, closed toe, hard sole shoes must be worn. There will be no exceptions.

Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are a fact of life in North Carolina. We encourage everyone to use DEET based insect

repellent with DEET percentages appropriate to your age.

Leave No Trace: Drop off your Pack’s Trash at the designated areas only. One will be located near the Staff Cabins and another will be located behind the Dining Hall.

personal vehicles will not be allowed to enter the campsites
