* Scouts assume all risk associated with electronic devices. The troop does not ban devices but we do strongly discourage bringing them. If they become an issue, a scout will be asked to put it away or even refrain from bringing the device at a future camp out.

* Camping is not the best activity for devices. There is water, dirt and typically a lack of electricity. Scouts should be prepared for this with physical protection for those devices like waterproof cases or bags. Turning devices off or to airplane mode when not in use.

Swim Suits

Rash guards are highly encouraged for all scouts.

Boys - Swim trucks that reach mid thigh or longer. No "Speedo" style swim bottoms.

• Must have a shirt on when entering or exiting the pool complex.

Girls - One piece suit or two piece suit. For a two piece the top should meet the bottoms.

• Must have shorts/skirt on when entering or exiting the pool complex
