If in doubt, consult the information on this page or contact us. The Council refund policy will apply to all over payments. Refunds must be requested according to the Council Refund Policy.

Some additional costs may be involved for certain programs (i.e. ammunition for shooting sports, craft kits for craft merit badges, etc.), These items will be added to your fees during class sign up and must be paid in full upon class sign up. Scouts should come appropriately prepared based on their program choices. See the Leader's Guide for more details.

Provisional Scout Information:
- Scouts attending provisional camp should plan to arrive at Bear Creek around 2:00 PM on Sunday. Scouts should be picked up no later than 9:30 AM on Saturday.
- Each Scout must bring a completed physical, including emergency contact information. Any and all medications must be in their original container and will only be dispensed as prescribed on the bottle. Scouts are responsible for going to the Health Lodge for their medications.
- This program is intended for Scouts who cannot attend camp with their own troop and for Scouts wanting to attend camp twice. If at all possible, troops with more than four Scouts attending provisionally should provide leadership and camp as a unit.
- Provisional scouts should review the Leaders Guide and come to camp prepared to participate in the programs of their choice. This includes doing the prerequisites listed.
- If a Scout has special dietary needs, please call our dining hall one week prior to camp at 830-238-4084 and email bearcreek@alamoareabsa.org . Our cooks can accommodate most needs with prior notice.
- Please note - if we are under COVID protocols, provisional scouts will be required to have an adult with them at camp to be their own "cohort".
