    • At the camp I grew up in (1980's, LOL!), our Camp Director got fed up with shenanigans, and went to a system where, when units arrived in the main parking lot, they loaded all their gear into a camp trailer, and Ranger or Asst Ranger drove it to their campsite, with staff members assisting on loading and unloading. The issues then were too many cars in camp, drivers far exceeding safe speeds on camp roads with campers running everywhere, and people not getting their vehicles out expeditiously.  So, about my third year on staff, the Camp Director instituted that procedure, and it worked well for the next five years I was on that staff...
    • Yes, staff driving a units vehicle or towing a units trailer is not normal. I can't say if it is unique to Beaumont; however, I have been to many scout camps and never experienced or heard of this before. 
    • JUST IN CASE YOU NEED SOMETHING TO DO FRIDAY NIGHT....--- You are invited to the WHITE OAK DISTRICT BAND CONCERT - FRIDAY - 1/30/26 @ 7:30pm. (Prompt start - please arrive by 7:20) Come in person to Transfiguration Parish, 13925 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20904 or watch it live at:   https://transfig.org/livestream/   The band is composed of 35 scouts, their family members, and friends who have worked hard to provide a beautiful performance. We hope to see you at Transfiguration.
    • yknot, your thought would hold true if vehicles towing trailers were the only ones on the roads.  In an earlier post I wrote that vehicles transporting people and their gear are allowed access to campsites on entry and departure.  Adult campers may drive in and park on the road during the week if they have limited mobility documented on their medical forms.  Given the typical distribution of one vehicle/trailer combination to about 10-15 passenger vehicles per troop at camp, management's justification gets pretty thin pretty quickly. From the postings so far I am encouraged that the practice of camp staff towing troop trailers into the campsite is unique to Beaumont Scout Reservation.
    • Sounds like some of the damage is being done based on how and where people park and how that affects where and how they pull out. If the staff parks the trailer, then they know how you are going to leave, so that's why they are not so worried about the pull out.
