The introduction and spread of viral infection is one of the greatest concerns at camp. Do not bring scouts or adult leaders who have been sick within forty-eight hours of their arrival at camp. Such individuals may come to camp forty-eight hours after their last system, and may request a partial or full refund.

The best method of preventing spread of disease is proper hand washing. Troop leadership oversee hand washing within their Troop, especially before every meal.

If a scout or adult leader exhibits fever, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, sweats, etc., or other health concerns (particularly contagious issues, such as pink eye) bring them to the Health Lodge as quickly as possible so the Health Officer can assess the situation. If symptoms warrant it, the patient will be sent home. The Troop is expected to organize prompt transport for the scout or adult leader.
