Safety & Conduct
1. “Safety First” is the most important concern. All participants are asked to be mindful that excessive roughhousing and careless behavior can lead to accidents and even injury. Please have fun but take care of yourselves and others. Prevent mishaps before they occur. Each leader and scouts are asked to be observant for safety issues in the activity area surrounding them, and report or correct any concerns.
2. Participants are reminded, to use the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, and the Outdoor Code to guide behavior at all times.
3. The buddy system will always be in place and enforced.
4. NO Alcoholic beverages are to be consumed by anyone related to the Cub-O-Ree at any time during this event. Period. Offenders will be asked to leave.
5. Smoking is permitted only in designated areas (e-cigs are included). The designated area is by the Salvation Army building, away from the scouts. No cigarette butts are to be left on the ground. There shall be no smoking or vaping in front of the scouts.
6. First Aid will be located at Headquarters/Registration, and BSA regulations require ALL accidents, injures, illnesses must be reported there.
7. Emergency Alert will be indicated by 3 long blasts on the air horn will always mean wait for instructions from the Leader in your area.
8. We are renting this facility, and as Scouts, we are required to act in a Scout-like manner. A. Please clean up after yourself and do not leave debris on the ground in your camp site. B. All campsites must be clean and well organized at all times. C. Help keep the port-a-lets clean. D. If you see any trash, pick it up and put it where it belongs, whether it’s yours or not.
9. One final note about behavior. We will be under watchful eyes by Adult Leaders. How we behave reflects on Timuqua District and all of Scouting.

Cub-o-ree Activities
Scouts will be participating in Groups. You are assigned a rotation schedule to follow with your group. You will have 40 minutes each station to complete an activity. Some activities will be repeated in the afternoon.
Time will be given for Lunch then the afternoon schedule. Ample time for dinner before the campfire program. Remember the Grill will be cooking if you do not want too.
We have a session that is called Campfire songs, skits & run-ons. They can help you with your Campfire program. There is a Pack Time session where you can practice your skit for the Campfire program. Turn in your Skit Approval form at Headquarters so you can get on the list.
You will receive a map & schedule when you check-in. It will tell you where all the sessions are located, water stations, Headquarters & First-Aid station. The Grill will also be on the map.
If you need help, look for a Volunteer who has a radio and they will be able to help/direct you.
