When at any Scouting function, I am expected to live up to the Scout Oath and Law. I will remember that these are the basis for all of the following rules and should influence all my actions. If at anytime I am not complying with these guidelines, I will face the appropriate disciplinary action based on the offense.
I am expected to follow the posted and verbal schedule of activities and assignments specified by the Troop leadership.
I will treat all people, property, equipment, and myself with respect.
I will be responsible for keeping my quarters and personal gear labeled, clean, and neat. I will adhere to all camp recycling policies and regulations. I will do my share to prevent littering of the campgrounds and agree to follow the principles of Leave No Trace.
I will do my best to be on time for all Troop events, wake up every morning at the time designated by my Troop leaders, and I will wear the appropriate full uniform as determined for each event in a manner that symbolizes my commitment to Scout values.
I will follow the two Scout per tent rule. I understand that sounds can be heard outside my tent after lights out and it is disrespectful and disturbing to others. Lack of compliance will be dealt with by the Troop leaders.
I will not use profanity or abusive language.
I will not bring any electronic devices (radios, CD Players, MP3 players, cell phones, iPods, game devices, etc.) to any Troop event, and am aware that such devices will be confiscated if I violate this policy.
I will use matches, lighters and other such items only according to Firem’n Chit regulations, and only if I have earned the Firem’n Chit and have the Firem’n Chit in my possession. I will observe safe fire practices at all times. I understand that flammable items, to include incense, hot sparks, etc. are not allowed in tents under any circumstances. I also understand that a single unsafe use of fire will result in a loss of my Firem’n Chit and confiscation of my fire gear.
I will follow Totin’ Chip rules when using knives, saws, and axes. I am allowed to bring one (1) BSA sanctioned pocket knife if I have earned the Totin’ Chip and have the Totin’ Chip in my possession. I understand that each time I use a knife, saw, or axe in an unsafe manner, a corner will be cut from my Totin’ Chip until all four corners are cut resulting in my knife being confiscated and my having to re-earn the Totin’ Chip.
I will use the buddy system and stay in camp at all times. I will attend all scheduled meetings for the Merit Badges I sign- up for, and not be in our campsite without Troop adult supervision.
I have read, understand, and agree with Troop 282’s Code of Conduct.
