Passes are required to enter Peterloon campsite

To ensure the safety of participants and ease traffic congestion at Peterloon, the following vehicle plan has been developed:

• Each unit that registers by Sept. 15 will be mailed 2 cargo vehicle passes that will allow the unit to haul their equipment into the Peterloon campsite.

• The requirements for vehicles to display passes to enter Peterloon will begin at 2:00 PM on Friday, Oct. 15, 2010.

• With the 2 cargo vehicle passes, troops will receive their Sub-camp assignment.  Make sure you share with all Scouts and leaders your assigned Sub-camp and campsite location.

• Vehicles hauling passengers only will be routed to the Peterloon remote parking area off Wards Corner Road near exit #54 from I-275.  From there, shuttle buses will transport you to the Peterloon campsite.

• Troop trailers will be allowed into the campsite, and may remain parked at the campsite.  The towing vehicle must have a cargo vehicle pass and must be moved to the Peterloon remote parking lot near the intersection of Wards Corner and I-275 immediately after unloading. (see Peterloon Remote Parking Map).  No cargo vehicles will be allowed to remain in the Peterloon camping fields.

• Special needs passes – Individuals with disabilities may apply to Dan Beard Council for a “Special Needs Vehicle Pass” to park at the troop campsite.  Written certification from a licensed physician will be required in order to have a “Special Needs Pass” approved by the Peterloon committee.  You must request a “Special Needs Pass” application with your registration by Sept. 15.  Applications for Special Needs Passes will not be accepted after Sept. 15.

• There will be no traffic on the Peterloon site roads after 9 p.m. on Friday, and out of respect for the 12th Law of Scouting there will be no cargo vehicle access until 10:00 Sunday morning.  (Exception: emergency traffic and support vehicles necessary to the operation of Peterloon, First Aid or other special needs)
