Packing For Camp

A complete packing list is available here. Each camper will be provided with a tent, on a wooden platform,  bunk and mattress. A footlocker or duffle bag works well for packing clothes and personal items.

Program

Our Webelos resident camp aims to give Scouts a taste of what they have to look forward to at Scout summer camp. Days will be packed with activities including: swimming and boating, archery, crafts, rock climbing, sports, science and nature, and outdoor skills.

Living Accommodations:

Scouts will stay in one of Camp Wanocksett’s picturesque tent sites. Tents are 9’x9′ canvas wall tents on wooden platforms with bunks and mattresses. Meals are prepared by our food service and served in the camp dining hall.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Den Leaders are a vital part of the Camp staff. Volunteering gives parents an opportunity to share in the camp experience with their scout. Volunteering also reduces the camp fee for for each week you volunteer. Den Leaders work with the staff and a den of 10-12 Scouts for the session. Volunteer Den Leaders will be required to attend a mandatory training session in the Spring. Volunteer opportunities are limited. Please sign up early.

Medical Forms

All campers, volunteers and staff must have a completed camp medical form on file. Scouts will not be allowed to participate in many camp activities without a completed medical form, signed by a licensed health care practitioner. Completed forms should be returned to the council service center no later than June 15, 2025. Returning your Scout's form early enables the camp health officer to review the form and resolve any missing information before they arrive at camp.

Youth Protection Reminder

All persons over the age of 18 staying in camp must be registered members of the BSA and complete Youth Protection Training - no exceptions.

Medications

All medication must be turned in to the camp health officer upon arrival at camp. It must be in its original packaging and must be accompanied by physician’s orders. Authorization to administer medication must be given by signing the appropriate section of the camp medical form. Medications may only be administered by the camp health officer. Exceptions may be made for asthma inhalers and similar medications at the discretion of the camp health officer in consultation with parents and physician if necessary.

Help us ensure that camp is a positive experience for your Scout. Please avoid changing medication or dosage immediately before or during your week at camp.
