Although every attempt will be made to avoid canceling an approved permit, we retain the right to do so.

Only a registered Unit Leader or Advisor, 21 years of age or older, may submit a Camp Use Permit.

It is the responsibility of the registered Unit Leader or Advisor to see that all Youth Protection guidelines and the standards as listed in the most current printing of BSA’s Guide to Safe Scouting are followed at all times.

Should a Unit or group need to cancel their activity or if there will be a significant change (30 minutes or more) in arrival or departure times, the Camp Ranger (Camp Horne) or Caretaker (Camp O'Rear) must be contacted as soon as possible.
