Dear Unit Leaders:
Welcome to the 2021 camping season at Camp Buck Toms. We continue to
strive to fulfill our commitment to offering an excellent summer camp program
for Scouts. We look forward to providing your troop the program and service
CBT is known for. From 1955 to 2021, CBT has been hosting thousands of
Scouts and creating a great Scouting summer camp experience.
We hope this Leaders’ Guide will be a helpful tool for you and your unit in
planning your summer camp experience. Whether your Scouts are new to
your troop or experienced Eagle Scouts, we offer a program for all, including
a first-year program, a traditional merit badge program and a complete high
adventure program for older Scouts.
Please begin your preparation now to join us this summer. This guide is a
great source for your Scoutmasters and Senior Patrol Leaders in planning
your troop’s attendance at Camp Buck Toms. Please review carefully due to
changes and new guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to contact
the Council Service Center directly.
On behalf of the Great Smoky Mountain Council and the 2021 Camp Buck
Tom’s staff, we look forward to seeing you this summer!

Camp Buck Toms Covid – 19 plan for summer 2021
At the time of this writing, fall of 2020, Covid – 19 is still an issue requiring many
changes from our typical Summer Camp Operations. It is our hope that this issue
will largely resolve prior to Summer Camp 2021; however, there is no way for us to
predict the course of this virus or what the conditions will be in the future. The safety
of our Scouts, and those who support the camp operations are priority for the Great
Smoky Mountain Council.
Camp Operations will comply with the guidelines in place during the operation of
camp activities. These guidelines include CDC Recommendations, State of Tennessee
Guidelines or mandates, Roane and Knox County Health Department, as well as the
National and local Council guidelines. If there is a conflict in any of these
recommendations the council will rely on its in - house Risk Management and Safety
and Health committee(s), as appointed, to resolve conflicts regarding
recommendations in order to maintain safe operations. It is possible that operations
may be suspended or canceled. The guiding principle will be the safety of our
Scouting community.

Policies
LEADERSHIP IN CAMP
The Great Smoky Mountain is committed to the principles of Youth Protection and Safe
Scouting as required by the National Council. As such, any changes mandated by
National or the local council to improve and support Youth Protection or Safe Scouting
will be incorporated in our camp setting immediately. We urge you and your Scouts to
be aware of the latest and best practices for Youth Protection and Safe Scouting
initiatives as they are published.
All Scouts and leaders must be registered with the Boy Scouts of America before arriving
at camp. Parents staying overnight must also be registered with the BSA and take Youth
Protection Training before arriving at camp. Everyone must have a completed and most
current BSA Medical Form. Anyone staying more than 72 hours must also have Part C of
the health form completed. This requires a physical exam from a medical professional.
ADULT SUPERVISION
Two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over are required for each troop
attending camp. There must be a registered female adult 21 years of age or
older in every unit serving females. A registered female adult (21+) must be
present for any activity involving female youth.
Notwithstanding the minimum leader requirements, age and program
appropriate supervision must always be provided.
All adults attending CBT must be registered leaders and up-to-date on Youth
Protection Training.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Separate accommodations for adult males and females and youth male and
females are required.
Parents will not share accommodations with Scouts.
Adirondacks/Tents
Separate Adirondack/tenting arrangements must be provided for male and
female adults as well as male and female youth.
While the National BSA treats Adirondacks as “lodging/cabin accommodations,
we require the “tentingpolicy to be followed at CBT for Adirondacks. It states,
“youth sharing tents or Adirondack must me no more than two years apart in
age.
Restrooms
Separate shower and latrine facilities should be provided for male and female
adults as well as male and female youth. When separate facilities are not
available, separate times should be scheduled and posted.
Adults and youth must respect each others privacy, especially in situations such
as chanding clothes or taking showers.
Adult leaders should closely monitor these area but only enter as needed for
youth protection or health and safety reasons.
29
Policies
ANIMAL AND PET POLICY
No pets or animals shall be brought to camp.
Service Animals
Only required and legitimate service animals are allowed in camp. Comfort or support
animals are not allowed at camp.
**You must provide proof of training from a recognized service animal training provider.
In addition the animal must have visited a veterinarian within 45 days of arrival at camp
and have complete up-to-date medical vaccination records. A statement from a vet
stating the animal has no known zoonotic diseases and is of temperament to be
unaffected in its abilities to do its trained tasks when exposed to camp environment
which at times can subject the animal to running crowds, bike riders, gunshots, and
water.
MEDICATIONS IN CAMP
Except for controlled drugs, which will be locked up in the Health Lodge and
administered under the direction of the Camp Health Officer, all other medications
should be maintained and administered by the Scout Leader. These medications
must be in their original labeled container and stored in a locked and secure manner.
Under some situations the Scout leader may request all medications be administered
by and stored by the Health Officer.
TRANSPORTATION & PARKING
Each unit is responsible for the safe transportation of its members to and from camp.
Make sure that all vehicles meet the BSA National Insurance Requirements (per the
BSA Guide to Safe Scouting). Transporting Scouts or adults in the bed of a pickup
truck or trailer whether it is covers or uncovered is against National BSA policy.
Parking is provided at the camp entrance for leaders and visitors. The main parking
area is next to the Admin Building. No person vehicles are allowed past the parking
lot. Troop trailers will be allowed in campsites. Towing vehicle may drop trailer and
return to parking lot immediately.
Please have a proper procedure for securing your troop trailer in the designated
space at each site.

Policies
FACILITIES FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED
Site #3 differs from other campsites in that it has facilities for Scouts and leaders with
physical challenges. This site has electricity and paved walkway that provides easy
access to the Camp Office, Dining Hall, Training Lodge and Trading Post.
This site is also the only campsite to offer in-site shower and toilet facilities for the
physically challenged. It is the policy of camp that any troop may be moved or asked to
share this site should the need arise for this site. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Leaders and visitors should know that there is no assistance to move the physical
challenged around camp on a routine basis. While we invite you to join us, you must
plan to bring your own rough terrain wheelchair or handicap specific Electric Powered
Assisted Mobility Device (EPAMD) to camp. Charging stations may not be convenient to
your sleeping area. Electric bikes, ATVs and UTVs are not considered EPAMD and are
exclude from camp, unless assigned a specific task and under the control of the CBT
leadership or it’s Rangers.
You may rent a golf cart at your own expense. Camp will provide you with a company

your arrival at camp.

camp for the protection of Scouts. Anyone entering camp property must check in at the
Admin building to receive proper clearance such as a wrist band, or badge. Anyone with
out the proper form of identification will be stopped and asked to return to the camp
office.
All visitors must check in and out at the Admin building. Fridays closing campfire will be
over about 10PM. The trading post will remain open for a brief period after.
The Program Director will be asking for a head count of the number of visitors at both
Thursday and Friday mornings Leader Meeting for the Friday evening dinner
preparations. This will give us an estimate of the amount of food to prepare. A visitor

32
Hammocks are more and more becoming a part of the camping experience at our Scout camps. The
use of hammocks at outdoor activities can add a fun highlight to the outdoor experience. Hammocks,
however, bring with them their own set of safety and ecological issues. It is the policy of the Great
Smoky Mountain Council that, for the safety of our participants, that hammocks will be hung at
height no more than waist high of the user at the center point while empty. Hammocks will not be
secured to shelters but should be secured to stable trees in the area of the campsite out of main
paths and walkways.
For your safety and to extend the life of your hammock, read carefully the manufacturer's guidelines
and be sure to hang your hammock in a secure location and attach it only to a stable tree.
Select trees with “tough” bark such as oak, hickory or pine over a tree with “thin” bark such as
maple or dogwood.
Securing the hammock must be temporary. Not nails, eye bolts, screws, etc. put in trees at
anytime
1 ½”-2” tension straps are approved while rope is NOT approved.
Secure hammocks to trees 8’ in diameter or larger.
The following design is preferred to using trees if installing a hammock post in a campsite:
Hammock Policy
The most dangerous time when using a hammock is while getting into or out of the hammock. It
is the time of greatest instability. Use great care! A hammock is not a toy.
Hammocks should not be attached to any camp structure. The Camp Ranger or Staff has the
authority to have a hammock moved or taken down because of the location, support or height it
is hanging.

Provisional Troop 557
Provisional Scouts are those Scouts, including those from out-of-council troops, who are
either unable to attend summer camp with their own troop or who would like to enjoy an
additional week at summer camp.
Provisional Troop 557 is a group attending camp from many different troops, but the
Council provides the adult leadership. Scouts in Troop 557 have all the same program
opportunities as those attending with their own Troop.
All Scouts applying for the Provisional Troop must abide by principles such as the Scout
Oath and Law. They must be trustworthy, responsible, and friendly towards their fellow
provisional troop Scouts.
This troop will attend camp during Week 4 June 27 - July 4, 2021 and will meet at the
Camp Administration Building at 2PM on Sunday, June 27, 2021. Once all the Scouts have
reported to this meeting place, they will proceed into camp and begin the check-in
process as any other troop would do.
The Council will provide at least two experienced and qualified adult leaders who will
spend this week at Camp Buck Toms. These adults will have the same responsibilities as
Troop Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters during this week at camp. They will be
available in the campsite to supervise and help the Scouts with skill development and
other activities.
Scoutmasters should make the reservation form, found on the next page, available to any
Scout who wants to go to summer camp as a “provisional” Scout. Scoutmasters should
also assist their Scouts in completing the reservation form, the merit badge/activity sign-
up form and the medical forms. All completed forms need to be sent to the Council office.
The camp staff will contact the Scout with more details.

What to Bring to Camp
SWIM CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURES
The swim classification of individuals participating
in a Boy Scouts of America activity is a key element
in both Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. The
swim classification tests should be renewed
annually, preferably at the beginning of each
outdoor season. Traditionally, the swim
classification test has only been conducted at a
long-term summer camp. However, there is no
restriction that this be the only place the test can be
conducted. It may be more useful to conduct the
swim classification prior to a unit going to summer
camp.
All persons participating in BSA aquatics are
classified according to swimming ability. The
classification tests and test procedures have been
developed and structured to demonstrate a skill
level consistent with the circumstances in which the
individual will be in the water (e.g., the swimmer’s
test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming
ability for recreational and instructional activity in a
confined body of water with a maximum 12-foot
depth).
ADMINISTRATION OF SWIM CLASSIFICATION TEST
(THE LOCAL COUNCIL CHOOSES ONE OF THESE OPTIONS):
OPTION A (at camp):
The swim classification test is completed the first day by camp aquatics personnel.
OPTION C (At unit level with council-approved aquatics resource people):
The swim classification test done at a unit level should be conducted by one of the following council approved resource
people: Aquatics Instructor, BSA; Aquatics Cub Supervisor; BSA Lifeguard; BSA Swimming & Water Rescue; or
other lifeguard, swimming instructor, etc. When the unit goes to summer camp, each individual will be issued a buddy
tag under the direction of the camp aquatics director for use at the camp.
TO THE TEST ADMINISTRATOR
The various components of each test evaluate the several skills essential to the minimum level of swimming ability. Each
step of the test is important and should be followed as listed below:
SWIMMER’S TEST:
Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using
one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting
backstroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest
by floating.
BEGINNER’S TEST:
Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume swimming
as before, and return to starting place.

ADMINISTRATOR CREDENTIALS

UNIT SWIM TEST CLASSIFICATION
Unit Swim Classification Record
This is the individual’s swim classification as of this date. Any change in status after this date (i.e., nonswimmer
to beginner or beginner to swimmer) would require a reclassification test performed by an approved test
administrator. Changes and corrections to the following chart should be initialed and dated by the test
administrator.
SPECIAL NOTE: When swim tests are conducted away from camp, the camp aquatics director
retains the right to review or retest any or all participants to ensure that standards have been maintained.

Distinguished Conservation Service Award
Conservation and the Boy Scouts of America have been partners for a long time. Camping,
hiking, and respect for the outdoors are a part of the Scouting heritage. Many of the
requirements for advancement from Tenderfoot through the Eagle Scout rank call for an
increasing awareness and understanding of the natural sciences. Many former Scouts have
become leaders in conserving our environment and protecting it from abuse. Right now,
Scouts are involved in learning about environmental problems and actively working to make
a difference.
The fundamental purpose of the BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Awards program is
to encourage learning by the participants and to increase public awareness about natural
resource conservation. Understanding and practicing sound stewardship of natural
resources and environmental protection strengthens Scouting’s emphasis on respecting the
outdoors. The goal of this awards program is to encourage and recognize truly outstanding
efforts undertaken by Scouting units, Scouts and Venturers, adult Scouters, and other
individuals, corporations, and institutions that have contributed significantly to natural
resource conservation and environmental protection.
BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Award Individual awards are granted by the
National Council through the local Council’s Conservation Committee to a member of a
Scouts BSA, Sea Scout, or Venturing unit for exceptional and distinguished service to
conservation and environmental improvement.
The BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Awards are presented for distinguished service
in natural resource conservation. The award is given in one of three forms. The awards are:
Youth: BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Award
Adult: BSA Distinguished Conservationist
Organizations and Individuals: BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Award Certificate
CAMP SERVICE AWARD
Any Scout or Venturer, youth or adult, may earn this award by participating in service projects at Camp
Buck Toms. Each Scout must perform the number of hours required to earn each level of
recognition. The qualifications are as follows:
1. The service project must be approved and directed by the Camp Ranger.
2. Scouts may do the project either with their troop or individually.
