We are very excited to enter our 1OOth year of service along the banks of the South Fork River. Resident Camp for 2016 will be held on June 4th - June 7th and June 8th 11th. We are really excited about our Quest for the Golden Skink theme! We would like to thank Chris Johnson once again for bringing our theme to life. In 2016 we will continue with two separate resident camp sessions for your convenience. You may choose which three day session you would like to attend. This Leaders' Guide was assembled and organized to help you plan a successful summer camping experience for every boy in your Pack. As you can see, there is truly something for everyone. Each boy is welcome at Kia Kima, and in fact, these boys are why we are here, standing ready to help guide you in your summer camping efforts. We hope each boy in your unit gets every opportunity to attend this year's camp. We encourage you to get fully involved in this year's theme. Many Packs will come to camp equipped with props, costumes, table decorations and many more spirit items that reflect this theme. This will only add to the rich experience that will be provided. On behalf of the Chickasaw Council and the entire Kia Kima staff, we look forward to seeing you at camp this summer!

Youth participants and adults should use the newest form. These forms are available under the Forms link under the Volunteer button at www.chickasaw.org. It is recommended that Parts A, B and C of the Medical Form be completed including the examination by a medical professional. However, properly completed Parts A and B will suffice. Please keep in mind that the Medical Form process is designed for each participant's personal safety. Due dilligence on this process could make the difference between a great experience or a poor one. Older versions of the medical forms cannot be accepted. Each Scout, leader, and sibling will have a health recheck after his or her arrival as part of the check-in procedure. The Pack's medical forms will be kept on file for the Session with the camp's Health Officer. They will be returned to the Cubmaster at the end of the Session. Even if a leader or participant is arriving late in the session all efforts should be made to have that person's health history with the Pack during check-in, so that the Health Officer can review the forms, even before the leader arrives. Ifa Scout or leader is arriving late to resident camp, and they were not able to give the health forms to the leader before camp, then they will need to give these forms to the Health Officer upon arrival in camp. Please make arrangements for physical examinations before summer camp. Any participant who does not have a completed health form will be restricted from all camp activities until an examination has been given. There are no provisions for an examination to be given at camp. Also, make sure that each health form has been signed by all parties in the appropriate places. Please keep a copy of each Scout's physical for your records. "r safety While we want every Scout to have a fun and exciting stay at resident camp, safety is a top priority in our program, in the campsite and around camp. Please take note ofthe policies and procedures to ensure a fun and safe experience. !i y In case of accident or emergency Kia Kima has a Health Lodge that is open 24 hours a day and is manned by staff members trained in handling minor accidents and illnesses. In addition, Kia Kima has a working arrangement with physicians from the surrounding communities for the treatment of more serious cases. If this kind of treatment is required, the Scout's parents will be notified by telephone, and their wishes concerning treatment will be respected. If such a trip is required, we ask that one of the Scout's leaders drive him to the hospital. This way, the Health Officer will still be in camp to treat any other potential injuries. At the health recheck, the camp reserves the right to refuse admittance to any Scout or leader who, in the opinion of the Camp Director and Health Officer, has any physical or medical problem that could present a hazard to his or her personal safety or the safety of others. If a Scout or leader has any special medication, it may be kept in the Health Lodge. + Fire Safety Kia Kima has a fire and emergency alarm system. This system will be explained at the leaders' meeting on the first evening you are in camp, and a test of the system will be Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com �ccoO:nrudmul<c~teied(J""fe~a~rirvy~1irni'Tlffiue~se~s~su1oun~.------------------------~ Some fire fighting equipment Jil--;L"'."'."':"".=----::-----:::-:-:--::---------------(rakes, shovels, fire buckets) is Camp rules & hints available at camp.

Jt• Leaders in camp All units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelos and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. Each adult-space provides meals, tentage, and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. This policy is required by the Chickasaw Units that rotate leaders during the Council. All leaders must be registered members of the BSA, and must meet the qualifications for the leadership position in which they serve. The unit leader must be at least 21 years of age. Any additional leaders must be at least 18 years of age. Leaders may rotate when necessary, but at least two adults must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the unit to camp must meet all of the above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest ofyour Scouts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack's stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. For units bringing 5 or more Scouts, the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional "adult-space" is $85.00 for the week. week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the session. For example, one leader might stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one adult-space and pay only $85.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one adult-space. Additional patches are available for purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number of adults staying in camp at any one time. If, however, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire session, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading Post. Packs with a high ratio of adults to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure that there is enough tent space for everyone.

Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup truck or trailer-whether it is covered or uncovered-is against the policy of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica, as well as poor judgment. In addition, units visiting Kia Kima from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area to the west of the Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during your stay. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box will provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end of this guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed to operate during sessions. Pack vehicles will be allowed into camp during check-in and checkout for the purposes of loading and unloading of personal and pack equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 15 miles per hour.

Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30 p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night's sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should park, check in at the Administration Building, and then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the campwide speed limit is 15 mph. If desired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for meals from the Administration Building as they enter camp. The visitor meal price is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for children under the age of 18 and children under the age of 6 each for free. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back of the line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout's Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building.

Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com �r,• What to bring Other than the basics, different people and packs will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect stay at camp and bring the items that you see in your mental picture. Ifyou want to spend the afternoon fishing on the edge of the lake, don't forget your fishing pole and tackle box. • Unit equipment To help keep you from forgetting those all important items, we have a list to help you when you are packing. • • • • • • • • Pack flag • First aid kits • Bow saws Den flags • Rope Lanterns • Brooms 8xl0 Tarp Water hose • Lawn chairs • T-shirts Water bottles Ice chest full of favorite drinks (water is the best) Camp stove and coffee pot If•Personal equipment • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Shorts or long pants Underwear Sun glasses Sweater or jacket Extra shoes or boots Sunscreen Poncho or rain gear Notebook/pencil or pen Watch (very important) Wallet (extra spending money) Washcloth and towel Toilet articles (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc., no l bottles) Flashlight with new batteries Sleeping bag or sheets & blankets Alarm clock (optional)(battery operated) Footlocker, suitcase or backpack Swim trunks Socks Hat, if desired Camera Insect repellent (containing DEET or Permethrin) Rank book so things can be signed off at camp Complete Scout uniform NOTE: Ice will not be issued at camp for campsite use. Bags of ice will be available for purchase at the trading post. www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 �.,. Tips Tip 1--A daypack (book bag) is recommended to help keep things together while hiking around camp from day to day. An extra gallon-sized ziplock bag keeps those wet swim trunks off the other dry items in the pack. Tip 2--Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level of walking and can result in a trip home-or worse-to the hospital. Tip 3--Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4--With the heat and humidity of June, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the session. ~·What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. We recommend that items such as radios, MP3 players, electronic games and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages and illegal substances of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com �r-,• Fun stuff you can do at camp! There is plenty for packs and individual Scouts to do at resident camp. Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp staff, and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established campsite, several hilcing trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you'd just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim). Check with the Aquatics staffto find out the requirements for taking out a boat, or talk to your Commissioner. Other activities such as BB shoots, climbing, archery, waterslide, Iceberg, games, and crafts may be available as well. Information about special activities will be distributed at the leaders' meeting, or again, ask your Commissioner. www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 �•t• Coming and going The safety and security ofevery Scout is ofparamount concern to all leaders and staff. To enhance our security efforts we will require that parents, leaders, or Scouts who are checking into camp over the course of the session to register at the Administration Building. Scouts who are leaving camp early will need to check out at the Administration Building with our staff, while being accompanied by an adult from the pack to authorize the departure. Pack leaders should encourage all guests and visitors to depart by 9:30 p.m. If there are particular concerns of an individual Scout's well being and protection, the Cubmaster should contact the Resident Camp Director. Leaders wishing to visit town for supplies should sign out at the Administration Building. Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com �+ check-out The checkout procedure will begin on Tuesday and Saturday, and should be completed before 10:30 a.m. Any unit with special checkout considerations should make plans through the Program Director or the Resident Camp Director. Activity records and health forms will be given to each unit at the concluding breakfast assembly. After breakfast, the pack will return, with the Camp Guide, to the campsite to pack their gear and clean up the site. Vehicles will be allowed in camp to load personal and unit equipment. The Camp Guide and Cubmaster will conduct another inventory to make sure that no equipment has been misplaced or damaged during the session. Borrowed equipment will be returned to the Quartermaster, and the Camp Guide will inspect the site to be certain that it is clean. The cost of any damaged property or equipment will be charged to the pack. The Cubmaster should stop by the Administration Building on the way out of camp to complete the check-out procedure. The check-out process at a glance Jfi Paperwork Paperwork containing health forms and program materials will be available at the Administration Building.

Also, do not attach clotheslines to the tent, as these put stress on the tent and can cause it to fall down. • Clotheslines in campsites should be hung with colored or white cord and as high off the ground as possible to avoid Scouts or leaders walking into them. Please remove any clotheslines that you hang up before leaving camp. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize a personal tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames in Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. No riding in the back of trucks. For their own safety, Scouts are not permitted to ride in the beds of pickup trucks. Kia Kima is a Wilderness setting. While visiting the out-ofdoors, it is common to encounter various forms of wildlife. Dangerous wildlife at Kia Kima could include: venomous snakes, spiders, ticks, etc. Bites from these animals are extremely rare but precautions should be taken. We will list a few tips to keep you comfortable at camp. www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelos and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. Jt• Leaders in camp All units are required to have at least two adult leaders in camp at all times. Cub Scout packs must also have a 5 to 1, boy to leader ratio for Webelos and a 3 to 1 leader ratio for Cub Scouts. This policy is required by the Chickasaw Council. All leaders must be registered members of the BSA, and must meet the qualifications for the leadership position in which they serve. The unit leader must be at least 21 years of age. Any additional leaders must be at least 18 years of age. Leaders may rotate when necessary, but at least two adults must be with the unit 24 hours a day. Parents, committee members, and other adults who accompany the unit to camp must meet all of the above requirements. Leaders, please note, it is in the best interest of your Scouts to have consistent leadership throughout your pack's stay at camp. Rotation of leaders can give way to situations that are not conducive to the positive influences of a stay at resident camp. For units bringing 5 or more Scouts, the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. Additional "adult-space" is $85.00 for the week. Each adult-space provides meals, tentage, and an official resident camp patch. The official leader count for the unit will be the number of additional leader-spaces plus the first two leaders. Units that rotate leaders during the week can fill a leader-space with more than one person staying different parts of the session. For example, one leader might stay the first night and another the second or third. In that the two leaders do not stay in camp at the same time, they use only one adult-space and pay only $85.00. They will, however, only receive one patch for the one adult-space. Additional patches are available for purchase from the Trading Post. The general rule is that the unit needs to pay for the maximum number of adults staying in camp at any one time. If, however, additional leaders will be in camp for only one or two days and do not wish to pay for the entire session, they may provide their own tent and pay for meals on an individual basis. They will not receive a patch, but may purchase one from the Trading Post. Packs with a high ratio of adults to Scouts may be contacted by our Administrative staff to ensure that there is enough tent space for everyone. Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 For units bringing 5 or more Scouts the unit leader and one assistant may attend camp at no charge. www.kiakima.com ~~-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ •;• Correspondence If• Transportation All resident camp correspondence and registration material & parking should be sent to the Council Office until the middle of May.

In addition, units visiting Kia Kima from other councils are responsible for attaining the appropriate tour permits. Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking area is the area to the west of the Administration Building. Vehicles are not to be parked in the campsite during your stay. Packs are encouraged to leave a trailer in the campsite in order to store gear. A locking box will provide a place to secure and safeguard gear. In addition, there are some localized parking areas provided for unit vehicles that may be more convenient for some campsites. These areas are marked on the camp map at the end of this guide. To keep traffic in camp to a minimum, only camp vehicles will be allowed to operate during sessions. Pack vehicles will be allowed into camp during check-in and checkout for the purposes of loading and unloading of personal and pack equipment. While driving in camp, please observe the camp speed limit of 15 miles per hour. No vehicles will be allowed to operate in camp or be parked in the campsite after check-in without permission of the Resident Camp Director. The only exception is that driving will be allowed to Camp Cherokee for aquatic activities. www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 r;• Arriving Packs should plan to arrive at Kia Kima between 1 :00 p.m. and 3 :00 p.m. on your session's opening day. No one will be available to handle early arrivals. ... check-in Upon arriving at camp the first thing the Cubmaster should do is report to the Administration Building to meet the camp administrative staff. At this time, the Cubmaster should have a final count of Scouts, adults and siblings; Scout schedules; and any unpaid fees as determined on the Financial Summary Form. A Camp Guide will be assigned to assist the unit through the check-in process. The guide and the assistant leader will take the unit to the assigned campsite to begin set up and for the health recheck. The assistant leader should have the medical forms and ' if swim checks were completed prior to camp, the Swim Check form. Everyone, youth and adult, must have a current health form. There should be a written explanation for any boy who needs special medical treatment. The recheck is to make sure that no significant changes have occurred since the physical examination was given. A buddy tag will be issued for each person with a health form. The health recheck will occur shortly after arrival, so all members are encouraged to arrive at camp at the same time. The Cubmaster should account for any Scout or adult who will arrive late. + camp tour The Camp Guide will take the unit to the campsite. All personal and unit equipment will be unloaded, and vehicles returned to the parking area. The Camp Guide and the unit leader will take an inventory of all equipment in the campsite. If any equipment is damaged or missing (holes in tents, damaged beds, etc.) the Camp Guide will note it and report it. The Camp Guide will also report the number of tents in the site to ensure that each person has a place to sleep. Scouts and leaders need to prepare for the camp tour soon after arriving at the campsite. There will be time to settle in after the camp tour. Scouts that did not complete swim checks prior to camp will need to change into swim trunks for the camp tour. Remember that a shirt, and shoes with covered heel and toe, must be worn while in camp. The Camp Guide will take the pack on a tour of camp~ pointing out camp landmarks and the various program areas. There are a couple of required stops, such as the Aquatics area, and the Dining Hall. Even if the pack has completed swim checks prior to camp, they still must visit with the Aquatics Staff for safety procedures. It is also a good idea to stop by the Quartermaster to pick up a fireguard chart and other equipment you may need in your campsite. After the tour, the pack may return to the campsite. This is a good time to get settled and prepare for supper. The Scout uniform is required for all evening meals and campfires. ~ J • Leaders' meetings A meeting of key leaders will be held on the afternoon of the opening day. At this meeting, members of the camp staff will give an overview of camp policies and procedures, and special program activities that will be offered during the week. Also, an opportunity will be provided to answer questions. In addition, leaders' meetings will be held each morning after breakfast. At this meeting, Cubmasters will get the opportunity to ask questions, and get updates on any special events going on in camp. The daily newsletter will be distributed at this meeting. Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~-<0 •t• Quartermaster In addition to what is in the campsite, the camp provides equipment through the camp Quartermaster. The Quartermaster is located beside the Trading Post. Items such as brooms, water hoses, cleaning agents, tools and American flags are available for checkout. These items must be returned-clean and in good condition-before the pack checks out at the end of their session. Packs are welcome to bring their own items (as listed above) from home. 'i•Tentage Generally speaking, all packs will be housed in standard twoperson wall tents. These tents have wooden floors with steel beds and vinyl covered mattresses. If your pack wants to bring its own tentage to camp, this is permitted. Two-deep leadership rules still apply and adults cannot stay in tents with Scouts. The only possible exception is when a parent stays in the tent with his or her son. If your pack chooses to bring a portion of its own tents, please be sure that you communicate this to the resident Camp Director, as space for these tents can become a consideration. If a Scout or leader plans to utilize his or her own tent for lodging, they should have the tent labeled "NO Flames In Tents." This can be stenciled on the tent or on a place card in front of the tent. ~ Uniform The official Cub Scout summer field uniform is recommended for wear by both youth and adults while in camp. This uniformcommonly referred to as Class A uniform-is to be worn to supper each evening and to campwide activities such as campfires and Vespers. The Class B uniform consists of Scout shorts and a Scouting t-shirt and may be worn at all other times during camp. Since the uniform is worn so much, here are a few tips to help it stay fresh longer: • Don't wear it at times when it does not have to be worn; change clothes after supper to avoid getting it dirty. • Bring a hanger for the shirt and keep the neckerchief and slide (if worn) in the same place each time so they won't get lost. • It would be a good idea to have several pairs of Scout socks to avoid wearing the same pair all session. + Dining Hall With everyone visiting three times a day, the dining hall is the most popular place in camp. Before each meal, packs line up in formation on the parade ground outside of the dining hall. The Program Director will take roll call of the packs, lead grace, and at the morning and evening meals, lead the flag ceremony. Scouts and leaders should wear their complete Scout unifonn to supper to retire the colors. After the meal, the Program Director usually has some important announcements for the camp. We ask that all Scouts remain in the dining hall until dismissed by the staff. The waiter system is used in the dining hall for setting the tables and cleaning up after meals. It is important to stop at the dining hall during the camp tour for a demonstration of how the waiter system works. Some people have special dietary needs. We will work the best we can in accommodating these needs with the food that we have available. Dietary supplements should be brought from home for specific dietary requirements. •it Commissioner Staff After your Camp Guide finishes helping you check in, the camp commissioner will be your main resource for campsite needs. The Commissioner staff will stop by the campsites each day to visit and will make sure you have all the supplies and equipment that you need. If there is something broken or missing in your site, they will work to see that www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 <D--~~~~~~~~~~~~~ it is fixed or replaced. You can also meet with your Conunissioner + Telephone at the morning leaders' meeting. In addition, Commissioners are knowledgeable about the program and can answer questions or help you plan pack activities. + Showers and Facilities Hot showers are available at the Central, East & West showerhouses. The central showers accomodate adult males, females and youth. In order to adhere to youth protection policies, adults are not allowed to take showers with youth under any circumstances. Dedicated showers for female Scouters are located at the Central, East & West shower facilities. Some campsites have built-in cold showers. + Trading Post The Trading Post-located in the middle of camp-stocks a variety of items~ such as camp memorabilia (patches, mugs, t-shirts, etc.), program supplies and concession items. The Trading Post is open during the day and evening, except at meals and during campwide activities. It is a popular place for Scouts and leaders to get a snack and relax. Visa and MasterCard are accepted; however, ATM and debit cards are not. •i• Lost & found A central lost and found area is located at the Trading Post. If you lose something during the week, check with the Trading Post staff to see if it has been turned in. In addition, the Aquatics area has a small lost and found area. At the end of resident camp, all lost and found items will be boxed and stored. After camp closes for the summer, lost and found items will be kept until November 1. To make it easier to recover lost items, Scouts should clearly mark their personal possessions with their name and pack number. A FEW HELPFUL TIPS FoR A COMFORTABLE AND SAFE CAMPING EXPERIENCE • Wear closed-toed & closed-heeled shoes •• •• • Use insect repellents containing DEET or Permethrin Carry flashlights when walking at night Shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them Keep food out of tents Check for tick bites daily Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the telephone number is 870-257-4935. This telephone is located in the camp office and is manned from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with the exception of lunch. There may be a staff member in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however, that this is the camp's business phone and parents will not be able to talk to their children. The staff member will take a message and deliver it at the next meal. Emergency messages, of course, will be delivered as soon as possible. .,. Postal mail Scouts may receive mail at camp. Please send mail addressed as follows: Kia Kima Scout Reservation Pack Number, Scout's Name 629 Kia Kima Trail Hardy, Arkansas 72542 Please be sure to include the Scout's pack number on all mail; this will make it much easier to route the mail to the proper recipient. Also include a return address on all mail in case a letter arrives at camp after the Scout has left. Mail service is dependable; however, for such a short session as resident camp, it is recommended that parents mail their letters before the Scout arrives. A letter or postcard can take from two to four days to reach camp. Any letters or packages that contain currency or valuables should be insured. www.kiakima.com 'i' Visitors ti• Kia Kima Website The official Internet site for resident camp and for Kia Kima Scout Reservation provides the latest updates about preparing for camp. This is an excellent resource for parents, leaders and Scouts. www.kiakima.com Leaders will find information about summer camp, registration and last-minute updates. Parents will be able to find out how to send mail to their son during the week. Scouts can find a list of what to bring to camp and helpful hints. Visitors should plan to arrive at Kia Kima in accordance with the daily schedule of activities. Arriving after activities have started may cause visitors to wander around camp for hours before connecting with their party. Scouts will be involved in sessions until 5:00 p.m. daily and will need time to take a shower and change clothes before the evening meal. The evening pack activities in camp will last until approximately 9:30 p.m., so visitors should plan to leave shortly after that so Scouts and leaders can get a good night's sleep. Vehicles should be parked in the camp parking lot, but not driven into camp. Visitors should park, check in at the Administration Building, and then walk to the campsite area. Please note that the campwide speed limit is 15 mph. If desired, visitors may eat in the dining hall. Visitors may purchase tickets for meals from the Administration Building as they enter camp. The visitor meal price is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for children under the age of 18 and children under the age of 6 each for free. Seating space can be a concern for visitors as packs have assigned seating, so visitors should be prepared to be at the back of the line, and expect to sit in an area apart from the pack as space allows. In addition, they should notify their Scout's Cubmaster, who will make arrangements with the dining hall manager. Visitors at any time should check in at the Administration Building. There are no facilities at Kia Kima to allow visitors to stay overnight. www.kiakirna.com Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Gulde 2016 Program Information 9'• Daily Schedule Each day follows the same schedule shownonpage 12.

Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 www.kiakima.com r,• What to bring Other than the basics, different people and packs will bring different items with them. A good exercise is to think about your perfect stay at camp and bring the items that you see in your mental picture. If you want to spend the afternoon fishing on the edge of the lake, don't forget your fishing pole and tackle box. • Unit equipment To help keep you from forgetting those all important items, we have a list to help you when you are packing. • Pack flag • First aid kits • Den flags • Bow saws • Lanterns • Rope • 8xl0 Tarp • Brooms • Water hose • Lawn chairs • Water bottles • T-shirts • Ice chest full of favorite drinks (water is the best) • Camp stove and coffee pot If• Personal equipment • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Shorts or long pants Underwear Sun glasses Sweater or jacket Extra shoes or boots Sunscreen Poncho or rain gear Notebook/pencil or pen Watch (very important) Wallet (extra spending money) Washcloth and towel Toilet articles (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc., no l bottles) Flashlight with new batteries Sleeping bag or sheets & blankets Alarm clock ( optional)(battery operated) Footlocker, suitcase or backpack Swim trunks Socks • Hat, if desired • Camera • Insect repellent (containing DEET or Permethrin) • Rank book so things can be signed off at camp • Complete Scout uniform NOTE: Ice will not be issued at camp for campsite use.

Tips Tip 1--A daypack (book bag) is recommended to help keep things together while hiking around camp from day to day. An extra gallon-sized zip lock bag keeps those wet swim trunks off the other dry items in the pack. Tip 2--Flip flops are good while in the shower houses; however, regular shoes should be worn to and from the shower facility. Foot injuries are serious at camp due to the high level of walking and can result in a trip home-or worse-to the hospital. Tip 3--Scouts bringing a footlocker or locking suitcase should bring an extra key and give it to the Cubmaster. That way, if one key is lost, the spare one will be stored safely. Tip 4--With the heat and humidity of June, it would be advisable to have a change of clothing for each day of the session. Cub ScoutJWebelos Resident Camp Leader's Guide 2016 ~·What not to bring Personal rifles or other firearms, ammunition, and bows are not allowed in camp; only those supplied by the Shooting Sports area are to be used. Sheath knives are not allowed at camp. Any such equipment brought to camp must be delivered to the Resident Camp Director when the pack checks in; it will be returned when the pack checks out. In addition, no pets of any kind are allowed at camp; this is policy of the Boy Scouts of America. We recommend that items such as radios, MP3 players, electronic games and other electronic devices not be brought to camp. Resident camp is an outdoor experience, and these items are not appropriate to that experience. Finally, alcoholic beverages and illegal substances of any kind are strictly prohibited at camp. www.kiakima.com r-, Fun stuff you can do at camp! • There is plenty for packs and individual Scouts to do at resident camp. Some activities have been scheduled by the resident camp staff, and are open to all Scouts and leaders. Others may be done by the pack as a whole. See your Commissioner for more details. If you want to go beyond the confines of the established campsite, several hilcing trails are available. Be sure two adult leaders in the pack go with you, using the buddy system. Hike in groups of at least three Scouts and leaders. And if you'd just as soon be all wet, the Aquatics area offers free boating (and an occasional free swim).
