Event Rules

The Scout Law, Oath, and Outdoor Code are of primary importance throughout the weekend.
All trash will need to be carried out, and gray water collected at designated sites.
Limited water will be available. Units will need to supply their own water.
Units must bring their own firewood. You may have campfires at your sites but they need to be contained in a fire pit to limit any ground damage. The fire pit may be above ground level to avoid damage or you may dig out the sod, set it aside and replace when closing up camp.
All participants should be respectful of private property on and off site.
All participants will need to follow all Council and Maine CDC Covid-19 protocols.
Port-A-Potties will be available for campers.
Remember the buddy system.
Troops must follow YPT guidelines and have 2 deep leadership. If female scouts are attending, please be sure to meet female leadership guidelines.
Vehicles may be driven to the campsite area to unload but then moved to the designated parking areas. Vehicles must remain OFF the track and athletic fields.
Troops will be responsible for their own first aid. Troops should have medical forms on-site for all participants.
Once registered, no one is allowed to leave the event without the permission of their unit leader, who will notify the camporee staff.
