Health & Safety
The health and safety of all participants and volunteers is our priority. In line with the guidelines of the BSA, AdvanceCamp requires that all attendees fill out the Pre-Event Medical Screening Checklist to determine if you are healthy enough to attend AdvanceCamp. Answering the questions will help stop the spread of diseases to others. Participants who are symptomatic or ill should not attend.
Do not participate if you or anyone you live with has recently tested positive for COVID-19 or does not have test results back. If you have a positive COVID-19 test, follow the CDC guidance for isolation and your personal health care provider’s treatment recommendations. Be responsible for your health and that of others. Isolate if you are sick. Do not attend if you, anyone you live with or anyone you have recently been around are sick.
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19. If you have any of these symptoms, get tested.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
New loss of taste or smell
