We request that packs try to register as a group. If you miss your pack’s registration or your pack is not attending, families can register individually.

Our system has been updated to allow for contingent registration. Designated leaders must still provide the names and emails of all participants, however, you can record your unit information and payment information together.

Cub Scout to Adult ratio: Each pack MUST have no more than a 5:1 Scout to Adult ratio. 

Dress: Field (formerly Class A) Cub Scout uniforms for dinner and campfire.  Otherwise wear Scouting t-shirts or other camping clothes.

You will not be allowed to drive to the campsites. The camp has some carts available for use, but they tend to be in short supply when you need one. We strongly encourage you to bring a wagon, cart, or large backpack to transport your items.

Everyone (adult and youth) attending camp must complete the BSA Annual Health and Medical Record, parts A, B1, and B2. Forms will be held by event medic until the end of the event. Packs are encouraged to collect all forms and place in a binder for easy collection and return. Attach a copy of both sides of the family insurance card. Keep the original form in home records and bring a legible copy to camp.

There is a collection area in the dining hall at Camp Wakonda. If something is lost, be sure to check the lost and found area before leaving camp. Any items left will be taken to the Council Service Center after the event.  Items remaining in the office after September 30, 2023 will be donated to Goodwill.

Campers will be instructed in these procedures during opening flags. Program areas, and many staff members have camp radios to communicate with others. Written plans are in place to handle all kinds of emergencies. (fire, lost person, storm or high winds, medical emergencies, child abuse)

Continuous – storm or high wind warning. Camp Wakonda has storm rooms placed around camp. If you feel the storm room is too far, hit the ditch, or move to low area.

Up and Down (intermittent) – fire, lost person, or lost swimming – report to the parade grounds

Three (3) short wails from a siren or perhaps a car horn – all clear, emergency over

These plans are posted in each campsite and in numerous places around our property.

Years of experience makes this run smoothly. Hats must be removed upon entering the building. Food is served cafeteria style, stopping at the stations to get food. Your cooperation, patience, and understanding will be greatly appreciated so the meals and programs run smoothly.

Separate for adults/youth and male/female. The shower facilities are at the pool at Camp Wakonda. These shower areas are open 24 hours a day. A separate handicapped-accessible shower is also available. The adult shower areas are to be used by adults only. No youth are to use adult shower areas at any time.  There are separate adult facilities for men and women. Scout age campers have their own facility. No adults are to use the youth showers at any time.

National camping policies clearly state that private vehicles are only to be parked in the parking lot. Roads in camp will be restricted to service vehicles. Absolutely no one is allowed to ride in the bed of a truck or on the back/front of a trailer or car. Handicapped-accessible parking is available in
the main parking lot at camp.

No tobacco use of any kind is allowed in any camp structure. Smoking is to take place only in posted designed smoking areas and never in the presence of minor children. No minors are allowed in the smoking area. Alcohol is NOT allowed at camp. Possession of any will result in immediate dismissal.

Adults need fishing licenses as required by state law. You may bring your own fishing equipment, or you can check out camp items including worms. Everyone must wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) while fishing along the shore (provided).
