Campsite Area: The campsite including fire-ring and picnic table area should be free of trash and gear. Points will be deducted for trash around
camp and personal items out of place. Troop gear should be neatly organized.
Camp Improvements: Each day a new camp improvement project (i.e. trail maintenance, pioneering project [i.e. gateway], etc....) should be made.
In addition, all past projects should be maintained. Please leave a note on this form informing your Commissioner what your improvement is for
each day. 5 points will be awarded for new projects, and 3 points if your troop’s old projects are maintained (Tuesday all points will be for a new
project)
Bathroom Cleanliness: The bathroom should be kept clean, hosed out, and swept dry. Due to insects, the toilet lid should be kept down. Make
sure the sink is free of trash and leaves. Points will be awarded for cleanliness inside, outside, and around the sink.
Safety: A first aid kit needs to be visible to anyone walking in the campsite and should be clearly labeled. The rake, shovel, and broom should be
hanging on the tool rack, and the hose connected to the faucet. Two points will be awarded for the first aid kit, two for the rake, shovel, and broom,
and one for the hose being connected.
Tent Tidiness: All tents should be clean, swept and organized. The troop should decide on a standard tent layout (i.e. sleeping bag rolled, gear
stored under cot, etc...) and all tents should follow this standard. A point will be deducted from your initial 5 points for every tent that does not follow
these guidelines. The inside of the tent will be inspected whether flaps are open or closed.
Fire Safety: All blanks on the fireguard chart should be filled in Sunday evening before bed and each evening after the Fire Warden for that day
should initial under "Equipment Checked" that all fire equipment is present, and the fire ring is cold. One point will be awarded for having the blanks
filled in, and one point for having the "Equipment Checked" sections initialed through the previous evening.
Uniformity of Tents: Tents in the campsite will be all open or all closed. 2 points will be awarded if all tents are uniform; 1 if at least half of tents
are uniform. (Open tents are preferred, as they are easier to inspect).
Laundry Lines: All clothing that is drying should be hung on a laundry line in the campsite. These laundry lines should not be blocking any trails or
major walkways. For safety concerns the line should be flagged with a bright material. One point will be awarded for having the line up in a safe area,
and one point for having it flagged. If no laundry line is present in the campsite 0 points will be awarded. If wet clothes, towels, etc., are laying
around camp, 0 points will be awarded.
