Equipment and Supplies

• Cooking equipment is NOT provided (i.e. pots, pans, utensils, and dishwashing buckets). Troops should plan to bring this equipment. • Troops should also plan to bring all cleaning supplies including toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. • Fire buckets, grates and rakes are available on the site.

Fires and Wood

All fire circles have rakes, a bucket, and a grate. Please build fires in existing fire circles, and do not make new ones. Troops may gather fallen dead wood for any fire. However, it is recommended that they bring their own fire starters and kindling. Please note: GSEMA cannot guarantee that you will be able to make a fire during your stay. The local fire department will let us know if and when there is a fire ban in place and the Site Manager will let you know. Please leave ashes in the fire circle; it is not necessary to rake, sweep, or shovel ashes before or after use.

Troops may use indoor fireplaces; please refer to the reservation confirmation packet for usage instructions.

Plumbing

Camp Maude Eaton has flush toilets, latrines, and showers.

Refrigeration and Food Storage

The main lodge has refrigeration. Please reference the chart on page X. It is your responsibility to monitor the thermometer for acceptable temperature readings of 40 degrees or below. If not, please notify Site Manager for correction. All other sites can use the refrigerator located behind the main lodge. Please make sure to label your items. It is suggested to bring a cooler or bin to store non-perishable food items.

Shared Spaces

The “flag area” and “four corners” are normally shared by all site users. Troops are responsible for bringing outdoor games and equipment if planning to use the shared outdoor spaces.

Trash Disposal

A dumpster is located by the main lodge. Troops are responsible for bringing trash to the dumpster at the end of their stay.

Misc. Reminders

• Do not move mattresses around from site to site.

Parking

When arriving at Maude Eaton, Girl Scouts should wait for others down by the Main Lodge. The parking lot often becomes very busy and can be very dangerous for both children and drivers. Cars may NOT be driven to the sites.
