reservations must be done prior to coming to camp. It is recommended that
scouts sign up through the camping department at least 30 days before their
arrival to camp and make payment to the council. However, scouts and adult
leaders can sign up and pay while at camp if space is available. If the scout’s
parent/guardian is not present at camp, then the forms will have to be
