1 - 4 Facilities: Sabattis Scout Reservation is designed for troops to have their own site, but in some cases with smaller troops, two troops may occupy one site. Sites are large enough to give a private atmosphere. Each site is equipped with picnic tables covered by rain flies, two man tents with cots, a latrine, wash basin and running water suitable for drinking (New York State Health Department approved). We also provide at each patrol site a half barrel for cooking (no ground fires), cooking grates, and a patrol box as well as three buckets for you to use to wash dishes. Cooking pots, pans and cooking utensils can be obtained on Sunday Afternoon if the troop does not bring your own. Bow saws and axes are also provided on request for your axe yard. Firewood is plentiful and can be gathered near your site. You may bring your own propane devices to cook on but we do not allow the use of white gas appliances. Staff: The camp has a qualified, trained and enthusiastic staff headed by a Camp Director and Program Director. A separate Trek Camp Director is employed at Sabattis to meet all of your High Adventure needs. The staff will help, assist and accommodate you in every way possible. But, it will not assume leadership for your troop except in an emergency. The staff will make every effort to smoothly coordinate the needs for your troop, patrols and scouts. Religious Services & Counseling A Scout is reverent. Catholic Scouts are encouraged to attend Mass on Saturday before coming to camp. Sabattis offer an interfaith service some time during the week. Senior staff members will be available to counsel homesickness or cases of problems in discipline. Programs: The camp provides a wide variety of advancement and program opportunities for scouts and troops. Program Areas include Aquatics, Field Sports, Ecology, Conservation, Fishing, Rock Climbing, Scoutcraft, Handicraft and much more. In addition activities include campfires, camp wide games, open shooting, and out of camp trips. Sabattis Scout Reservation offers overnight Outpost Camping to any of the three islands on Lows Lake or week long extended treks out of its High Adventure Trek Base Camp.
1 - 5 Wilderness Use Policy of the Adirondack Scout <strong>Camps</strong> The Boy Scouts of America recognize the Adirondack Park of New York State as a unique area of our country. The unparalleled combination of lakes, rivers, and mountains make it a special natural resource area to be enjoyed by all, but requiring special thoughtfulness and consideration. The Adirondack Park contains the only designated wilderness areas East of the Mississippi River, which has given special recognition to its unique character. The New York State Constitution guarantees that the state owned forest preserves in the Adirondack Park are kept “Forever Wild”. Private land holdings, which constitute about sixty percent of the park, are managed in varying ways and special care must be taken to observe the conditions, which these owners place on allowing access by the Boy Scouts and Explorers to their lands. The Adirondacks contain many fragile ecosystems particularly along its shorelines and on its mountaintops. Since the region lies within a few hours drive from the Eastern Megalopolis, the Adirondacks are accessible to millions of people, making it imperative that every one using the Adirondacks adheres to comprehensive wilderness ethics. The Adirondack Scout <strong>Camps</strong> adheres to the Boy Scouts of America Outdoor Code, which states: As an American, I will do my best to: BE CLEAN IN MY OUTDOOR MANNERS - I will treat the outdoors as a heritage to be improved for our greater enjoyment. I will keep my trash and garbage out of Americas waters, fields, woods, and roadways. BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE – I will prevent wild fire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure that it is out before I leave. BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS – I will treat public and private property with respect. I will remember the use of the outdoors as a privilege I can lose by abuse. BE CONSERVATION MINDED – I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, water, forests, minerals, energy, grasslands and wildlife, and I will urge others to do the same. I will use sportsman like methods in all my outdoor activities. The term Wilderness Area applies to all State or privately owned lands within the Adirondack Park. The Outdoor Code of the BSA will be strictly enforced in camp as well as on all overnight outpost camps and all extended treks. All extended treks must use low impact, no trace camping. All overnight treks and extended treks must pick up trash and garbage even if it does not belong to you. It is imperative that all Scouting groups come away with the impression that Scouts know good camping practices and employ them on their outings. Scouts and Explorers need to learn proper wilderness camping practices and adopt attitudes and patterns of behavior that demonstrate a respect for the rights of others, including future generations to enjoy the great outdoors.
