Let's Re-Start Scouting

As the heat of summer increases many units are asking,  (What can we do to get restarted?) Here are a few things to take into account to help you decide what to do and to ensure it is safe. First, before you do anything. Consult your Chartering Organization and discuss what they are comfortable allowing you to do. If they are comfortable with you holding a unit activity; then start planning. Here are the steps to take to ensure a safe activity: Follow the National BSA Restart Scouting Checklist: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-693.pdf Contact the local Health Department to check on any limitations for the area that you will be holding your activity. Review the CDC Camps Decision Tree: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/Camps-Decision-Tree.pdf Review the Guide to Safe Scouting: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/toc/ Review and fill in all that applies on the Campout Safety Checklist: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/campout_checklist.pdf Review and fill in all that applies on the NYS Reopening Safety Plan: https://ocfs.ny.gov/main/news/2020/COVID-2020Jun08-Guidance-Reopening-Plan-Template.pdf Review with families the Health Camp Begins and Ends at Home form: http://www.cnyscouts.org/media/2425/healthy-camp-starts-at-home.pdf Have families sign the Understanding Covid-19 at Camp form: http://www.cnyscouts.org/media/2424/understanding-covid19-at-camp.pdf If you follow these steps and inform the parents, scouts, and leaders and they all feel comfortable to hold the activity; then you are all set.

DAY CAMP 2020 is a GO!

Day Camps are a GO and we can't wait to have Scouts from ages 7 to 17 attending one of our spectacular Day Camp programs. There will of course be some changes to how we run our programs to ensure the safety of the Scouts and volunteers that run these programs. We will have detailed info coming out about these changes and precautions coming soon. But, till then check out our videos and website for more info or to sign up today. We are excited to be one of the few programs still available to Scouts and their families. We hope to see you at camp this summer.
