Our troop has established COVID-specific policies that are somewhat different from the way we previously camped. Here are the details for this particular campout.
Transportation: Families are responsible for transporting their Scout(s) to and from the campsite.
Sleeping accommodations: Everyone will sleep in individual tents.
Sanitary facilities: There are pit latrines. A hand washing station and hand sanitizer will be available in the campsite.
Masks: Everyone will carry a mask with them at all times, and will wear it whenever it is not possible to maintain 6' of distance from other people.
Food: Everyone will bring their own dinner for Friday night (or eat ahead of time). We will be using the patrol cooking method for this campout. See the troop's COVID-19 guidelines for information on how we are working to prevent the spread of the virus during cooking/serving of food.
Water: Even though there is water at the site, everyone should bring enough drinking water for their own personal use (see packing list).
Everyone is expected to follow the troop's COVID-19 Guidelines.
