Fire Guard Plan

In case of fire, the Camp Office is to be notified immediately. Each unit is to organize a Fireguard Plan furnished by the camp. Camp Staff members serve as the principal fire fighters. All Campers are required to stay clear of any fire areas. Leaders are instructed to assemble their Scouts in a safe area and take a roll call. Each unit is to appoint a Fire Warden upon arrival at camp.

 

 

Pets

 

 

 

Pets are not permitted at Camp Geiger. Units with impaired Scouts requiring assist animals should notify the Camp Director or Camp Ranger at their pre-camp meeting.

 

 

 

Religious Services

 

 

 

Scouts will have an opportunity to attend an all-faith worship service on Sunday evening. A Catholic Mass is held on Monday evening. Any religious group is welcome to hold its own service.

 

 

 

Accident Insurance

 

 

Out of council units will be charged $3 per camper for accident insurance. If the unit can provide proof of insurance the charge will be waived.

 

 

 

Visitors

 

 

 

Upon arriving at camp, visitors are to check in at Headquarter other than Visitor's Night and Tapping Ceremony. Visitors will be provided a tag identifying them as a visitor. 

 

Visitors’ Night is held each Wednesday evening. Many campers count the minutes until Mom, Dad or other friends and family come to visit on Wednesday. Please plan to come see what these Scouts have accomplished and perhaps even see them perform at the visitors’ campfire. Many units make this a gala troop/family event by having picnics between 5 p.m. and the 8:15 campfire program.

 

In addition, visitors are welcome at our Thursday night Mic-O-Say Tapping Ceremony (8:30 p.m.) All parents, families and friends are requested to attend at these times only. All visitors are requested to leave the premises by 10:00 p.m. Units with handicapped visitors should notify the Camp Ranger or Camp Director to arrange transportation while at Camp Geiger.

 

 

 

Flag Ceremonies

Flag ceremonies are held before breakfast and at supper. The flag raising is held at 7:25 am. Scouts should be dressed for their daily activities. Flag retreat is at 6:25 pm and scouts should be

 

in full uniform and participate in a manner respectful to our country's flag. The "sharpest" unit (determined by uniform inspection) will be honored by displaying its Troop flag the following day at the Dining Hall. No Scouts should remain behind in the campsite

 

 

 

Chainsaw Use

Persons felling trees more than 3 inches in diameter by any means must be approved by the camp ranger and accompanied by a partner. Anyone using a chainsaw must have the approval of the camp ranger. The ranger will ensure that anyone using a chainsaw meets the training standards and wear the proper protecting gear.
