All Del-Mar-Va Council units are covered by an accident insurance policy. Insurance certificate and claim forms are included with your annual charter. It is the unit leader’s responsibility to process all claims. Do not send bills to the camp or the council. Out of Council units are required by Council policy to provide a copy of their unit’s Certification of Unit Accident Insurance when registering for summer camp. Mailing Address Each unit must pick up its own mail at the Administration Building. Outgoing mail leaves camp at about 11:00 AM daily. Incoming mail can be sent to: Henson Reservation Scout’s Name Pack # 5700 Nanticoke Rd Seaford, DE 19973 Communications 883-3333 Fax: (410) 883-3011 Email: Henson Scout Reservation has a single telephone line to serve the business communication functions for the camp. Scouts and leaders are not permitted to use this phone. Incoming calls should be of the utmost importance and will require locating a Scout or leader. A call back number must be left. A credit card phone is available for leaders and staff in the Administration Building. Daily Campsite Inspections Campsite inspections are done by your Camp Commissioner. Packs meeting clean camp standards during their stay will be presented a Clean Camp Award at the closing ceremony. Leaving Camp For the protection of campers, they may not camp without parental permission. Leaders should be aware of a boy’s need to be out of camp in advance, if possible. Leaders should also know the person taking the boy out of camp. The procedures for leaving with anyone other than a parent or legal guardian must be followed at check-out. All campers must leave from the Administration Building after checking out. Security Bracelets All registered campers and leaders are required to wear an identification bracelet at all times. Bracelets will be either blue for
Swimmers, Red for Beginner-Swimmers, or White for Non-Swimmers. Braceltes will be checked each morning at breakfast, and periodically throughout the day. The identification bracelet is an important component of the camp security system. Each camper will be issued his/her bracelet at no cost; any subsequent replacement bracelets will cost $1 each. Visitors Visitors are welcome at camp. All visitors must sign-in at the camp office, and obtain a green identification bracelet. If meals are desired, the Pack must make reservations with the Camp Clerk 24 hours in advance, and must pay for the visitor’s meals. Buddy System All campers and adults must use the Buddy System at all times. A minimum of two individuals should remain together at all times. Leaders should remember the Youth Protection Guidelines. All parents attending camp are strongly encouraged to complete Youth Protection Training online prior to coming to camp. Footwear must be worn at all times, except while swimming. No open-toed footwear (sandals) is acceptable. Old sneakers or shoes must be worn while boating. Aquasocks are not acceptable waterfront footwear. Hiking Some of camp require extra caution. Parts of the trail system pass through potentially swampy areas. If hikers come to a spot that looks doubtful, the ground should be tested prior to putting full weight on it. Scouts must be cautioned to remain on the marked trails and to use the Buddy System at all times. Hikers must check with Camp Headquarters prior to hiking trails. Insect Repellant A non-aerosol insect repellant is recommended to reduce the likelihood of mosquito and tick bites. Aerosol insect repellants are extremely flammable and therefore can be dangerous. Insect netting and support poles should be brought to camp with you. Motor Vehicles In the interest of safety, and limiting the impact of vehicles on the camping experience: All vehicles must be properly licensed and insured. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license. Vehicles CANNOT be driven to the campsites. Special arrangements can be made for Handicapped Individuals and for transporting heavy Pack equipment.
