Official Camp Policies• Alcohol and Drugs: The use of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances

is prohibited on property that is owned or operated by the Boy Scouts of America. This policy will be strictly enforced for all those who use our camp facilities.

• Smoking: The use of tobacco products by anyone under the age of 18 will not be tolerated at camp. We ask that adults use the designated smoking areas in the parking lots away and out of sight from youth.

• Vehicles: No private vehicles are allowed in camp during camp operation. This includes the vehicles of troops that arrive late to check-in, or on Monday morning. During the scheduled check-in and check-out times, one vehicle per troop is allowed in camp to unload equipment.

• Uniforms: Scouts should be in full uniform for assemblies, flag ceremonies, campfires and other ceremonies where uniforms are appropriate.

• Walkie Talkies/Cell phones: Walkie Talkies are prohibited in camp, as they interfere with our safety communications. Cell phones may only be used by adults in parking lots or near the Scoutmasters lounge.

• Note: You can get service on some cell networks at the Scoutmaster’s lounge 

Camp Hahobas 2010 1. Add or improve program materials and equipment at the waterfront,

shooting sports and Outdoor Skills.2. Improved adult training opportunities.3. Additional structure in some program areas to better serve our campers,

based on feedback we received during unit leader feedback sessions during camp 2009.

4. New orienteering course, which will also be available to units in the off—season to enhance their troop program.

5. Troop/Patrol Competitions: relays and races foster healthy competition and teamwork

6. Guest Commissioners: experienced scouters to help support units at camp 

• The Great White Newt RegattaThere is no glory at camp that is greater than winning the Great White Newt Regatta. At the beginning of the week, troops will be provided with three water barrels to build a boat. There are three ways to win the race. Troops can either be the first to cross the

lake, capture the newt’s egg, or just be the prettiest boat.

Camp Wide Games

• In hopes of offering the best possible experience for troops and patrols, we are continuing with our Friday afternoon activity.

• Many leader’s expressed that they wanted to see more patrol activities. Our response? Camp Wide Games!

• Patrols will have Friday afternoon to move from station to station testing their knowledge, teamwork, physical ability, scouting skills, and scout spirit. Every station will award points for various accomplishments (e.g. time, spirit, ability, etc.).

• The best three patrols will win bragging rights and be honored at our closing campfire. So dig out your patrol flag and practice your patrol yells; that spirit will earn you points and could put your patrol over the top!
