SAFETY PROMISE
Camping in the cold can be hazardous -- especially if you allow your body to get wet in the cold.
Our adult leaders promise to monitor all the scouts and look out for their safety. If we feel at anytime it is unsafe to camp because of conditions, we will not hesitate to cancel the trip and come home.
