Camp
Leadership
All
units in camp must be under the leadership of two adults at all times,
one of whom must be over 21, the other at least 18 years of age. Leaders
may rotate if necessary, but at least two adults must be with the
unit each 24 hours in camp. No exceptions. All adults in camp must
have a Youth Protection Training card from from BSA’s Online
YPT course (only). Troops may share leadership by prior arrangement.
Pre-Camp
Leader's Meeting
A pre-camp information meeting for all unit leaders will
be held on Wednesday evening of the week prior to your arrival in
camp at 6:30 p.m. at the Council office. Meetings for Chisholm Trail,
Brazos River Canoe Trip, Steele Island, Worth Ranch, and SR2 are at
the Hurst office. Meetings for Camp Tahuaya are at the Waco office.
Final fee payments may be made at this meeting. If your unit leaders
must travel a great distance to make the meeting (for example: from
Houston or Austin to Hurst) you can do your final attendance updates
and get the latest information by calling the Camp Director no later
than Tuesday, the day before the meeting.
Program Fees
Some special programs offered at summer
camp have large equipment, maintenance, and operating costs. In an
effort to defray these costs, the Longhorn Council charges use fees
for these special programs. Registrations for all fee programs are
accepted on a first come-first served basis by date of payment. Please
be sure to itemize Program Fees by program and number of participants
when making camp payments. Pay all program and cot rental fees at
camp. DO NOT include them in the regular pre-camp payments.

Each Scout attending camp must have an annual health history form
completed by parents or guardian and supported by a medical evaluation

signature giving permission to treat in an emergency. All adults under
40 must have a current health history supported by a medical examination
within 36 months. Use “Personal Health and Medical Record - Class

over must have a current health history supported by a medical examination
within the last 12 months. Use Class 3 Health Form #34412.
A medical review and screening will be given each camper upon his
arrival. The camp reserves the right to refuse admittance to any camper
who, in the opinion of the examining person and Camp Director, has
developed a physical or medical situation which could present a hazard
to the camper, or to other campers, by their presence at camp.
All Longhorn Council registered campers are covered by an accident
and insurance policy. Out of Council units must provide proof of accident
insurance. All accidents and illnesses must be reported to the camp
Health Officer. The unit leadership should file claims for all medical
care not provided by the Health Officer. Medical expenses incurred
