YCSP Rules and FAQ's

Wizard Ranch BSA Camp site has their published rules at 
https://newbirthoffreedom.org/camping-2/camprules/. However some of these rules have received exceptions from the owners as listed immediately below. 

PETS must have medical documentation for all required shots, and be kept under control either by leash or by enclosure.
Rule 6. There will be no dumpster at the camp site. Please carry your trash with you. We will provide trash bags. 
Rule 8. There will be no fires lit on the grounds. This rule must be strictly followed. Personal propane BBQ's are allowed.  In addition, anyone supporting Andrea and the Busy Bee will help them cover their expenses, and help ensure that we could hope for their attendance in the future.  Having them on site is a HUGE advantage over what some other alternatives have been.  
Rule 12. Tobacco Smoking is allowed but prohibited in the presence of any scouts, if any visit us.
Rule 15. No alcohol. No exceptions.
