There are a number of reasons that a Scout may leave camp earlier than scheduled. However, we take the security and safety of our guests seriously and there is a process in place. We recommend that all parents complete the following steps below even if they don’t plan on their child leaving camp early. It’s better to be prepared than not. 

1. Part A of the Annual Health and Medical Record has an area at the bottom of page 1 to list adults that are authorized to pick up a youth guest early from camp. There is also an area to list adults not authorized to pick up a youth guest from camp.
2. When an adult arrives at camp to pickup a youth guest we will ask their name and for photo identification to verify their identity.
3. That adult must be listed on Part A of the Annual Health and Medical Record of the youth guest they are trying to leave early with or they will be denied to leave with that youth guest. Even if the adult claims to be their parent or has the same last name, they will be denied to leave with the youth guest.
4. Once the identity of the adult is verified and it matches Part A of the Annual Health and Medical Record, the youth guest will be paged to the camp office for departure where they will be signed out of camp.
