Check in at Foster Dining Hall to indicate where you plan to stay and to make sure that site has adult supervision. As members of Scouting’s National Honor Society, please clean up your sleeping area before you leave camp on Sunday.

Items to bring to camp with you:

·         Field Uniform (Class A Uniform) and OA Sash

·         Any gear you would normally take on a weekend camping trip.

·         Personal hygiene items

·         Medication you will need during the weekend

·         Work Gloves and any protective gear you have that would be used for work projects listed below.

Special Note to Parents

Some work crews may be asked to help at Camp Kirby. If any crews are sent to Camp Kirby, the drivers will be over 21 and will follow all transportation requirements listed in the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting. Please indicate on the registration form if you give permission for your son to be part of an adult supervised Camp Kirby Work Crew.
