Adirondack Scout Camp Guidelines
The principles of the Scout Oath are guiding principles of the Adirondack Scout Camps.
The following have been established by the Longhouse Council Camping Committee for
the health, safety and protection of all Scouts and Leaders using our camps.
1) All firearms are to be left at home. Camps will provide rifles, shotguns, bows and
ammunition at the field sports areas. Under no circumstances should ammunition
for the ranges be brought to camp. The Boy Scouts of America mandates this
policy, no exceptions will be made. If any of these items are brought into camp the
Camp Director or designee will confiscate them and will return them upon departure
from camp.
2) Alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs are not permitted in any Scout Camp. This is
a ZERO tolerance policy. Violation will result in an invitation for early departure from
camp.
3) No flames in tents.
4) Fireworks are prohibited.
5) No tobacco products are to be used.
6) No privately owned watercraft is to be brought into any camp. BSA policy.
7) No radios or other valuable equipment are allowed, we will not be responsible for
them.
8) All vehicles will be parked in the parking lot at all times. No vehicles will be left in the
sites for any reason except for check in and check out procedures. No vehicles are
to be parked on the camp road.
