By registering to camp at Camp BEL all campers accept these rules.

Camp BEL is a Scout Canada camp which is not for profit and run by volunteers. We try to keep the fees at a minimum for Scout use and as such we request your cooperation in the supply of consumables and follow the few rules which are for yours and our safety.

The Scout Law is the Law of the Camp.

Leaders are responsible for the youth and their actions while at Camp BEL.

• You must have liability insurance through Scouts Canada or Girl Guides or show proof of private insurance to be at Camp BEL.
• Campers are responsible for cleaning buildings after use and leaving campsites better than they found it.
• A telephone is available in the main building, for emergency use #519 268-7703 Emergency 911.

You are responsible for supplying:

• All consumables such as toilet paper, sink cleaner, dish towels/cloths, soap for dishes, hand soap for washrooms, and plastic garbage bags.
• Blue boxes are available for recyclable material.
• There is a limited supply of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans available in the kitchen for your use when you have booked the kitchen. Please do not assume we have everything.
• We have a good and varied supply of activity equipment that can be supplied on request at the time of booking.
• Each camper should bring their own camp mess kit which should include mug, bowl, plate and cutlery.
• If you intend to use the bunk houses ,bring you own bedding and mattress.

Fire: (practice a fire drill!!!)
Every person must be careful to prevent fires. In case of fire: evacuate the building and notify (1) the fire department then (2) the Camp Ranger. Fire extinguishers are located in each room by the entrance doors. All campfires must be set in the containers supplied and be "dead out" before leaving camping area. Review the evacuation plan located on the Grand Howl Hall bulletin board.

Health and Safety:
Accidents and sudden serious illness must be reported immediately to the Property Manager. Leaders are responsible for the health and safety of youth in their charge. A Scouts Canada Incident report is to be completed for every injury or illness. Each group must have on hand, their own First Aid Kit. There is Emergency First Aid Kit located in the Main Buildings hallway. It is a basic kit and does not contain bandages and antiseptic for minor cuts and bruises.
