WELCOME!! We're so glad you decided to come camp here at Ft Knox!!!

For those planning to camp in the area, PLEASE CONTACT US PRIOR TO ARRIVAL so we can make sure that we save an area for you! ! You can arrive that Friday afternoon as early as 1700 to set up your camp (probably earlier, call us to see). If you're trying to figure out how to get here, check out the Maps here on the site. There is no electricity in the camping area's (not that you'd need any, right?). The event will officially begin with the opening ceremony at 0930 on Saturday Morning.

We know you'll have a great time, and to make sure that your time here is the best it can be, we just wanted to go over a few rules to make sure that everyone stayed Safe and Out of Trouble! Looking forward to having you here, and see you in the FLD!

1. This is a Military Reservation, and Safety is always first. Please stay away from areas marked as UNAUTHORIZED AREAS. All adults must have an ID (drivers license, etc) to enter the post.

5. Water is available, but each unit is requested to bring one gallon of water per person when camping.

6. No unit will be allowed to camp without the appropriate adult leadership, as set forth by the BSA or GSUSA or other higher headquarters. Girl Scout adult must have Level III training.

7. All units will do their own cooking/heating of food and water with charcoal, wood, or approved liquid fuel method. Open fires must be contained and above the ground - NO DIGGING, NO GROUND FIRES. No wood is available on site for cooking or scoutcraft. All liquid/gas fuels must be properly stored and maintained.

8. All units must pack their own trash out of the event site.

9. Camping sites on the FLD event site will be assigned upon arrival on Friday night on a first-come, first-served basis. Size of the site will be based on the size of the unit. Additional camping is available at Camp Carlson.

10. Official GSUSA camping will be located in a separate camping area than the BSA camping.

11. Girl Scouts are welcome to participate either as families or with their Troop. The Heartland Service Center has approved Keyes Park for Girl Scout Camping, However, GSUSA troops attending 'officially' as a troop function must be aware of the restrictions placed upon them by the GSUSA and their council. Liability for Girl Scouts who are attending under the supervision of their parents as opposed to the supervision of their troop leader, rests on the parent.

12. The official Scout uniform for your National organization will be worn on Saturday during the main events. At other times a scout T-shirt should be worn. Scouts should use the buddy system, or be under the control of an adult

13. Event Patches are not free, but can be purchased in advance and at the event.

14. If you are, or have scouts who are planning to use radios (CB, FRC, shortwave, etc.) Please read our COMMO info.
