Supplements:

We will have sea salt, potassium, cell salts and electrolyte mix available for Scouts and adults.  Food of any kind, including gum or candy, is NOT allowed at any time in the tents.  It attracts ants, bears, raccoons, you name it!

Electronics:

Electronic games and electronic gadgets should not be brought or used at camp at any time.  Cell phones may be carried for emergency use only, but remember that phones are easily lost or destroyed at camp.  Each camper is responsible for the safety and care of his own items.  A tent is not a secure storage area.  The camp, the Troop and/or the leaders are not responsible for the security or preservation of items brought to camp by campers.  Wear a water-resistant watch so that a phone isn’t necessary for telling time.
