Personal Conduct
TBRA practices minimum-impact operations. Our goal is to leave the launch site with little or no evidence that we were there. We must ensure that we do not adversely impact the land, wildlife or scout activities. We are guests on the property, and must act accordingly. We need the landowner more than the landowner needs us.
Do not attempt to interact with any scouts that you may encounter on the property. While driving on the launch site property, wildlife and scouts will always be granted the right of way.
Leave all gates just as you find them. If you open a gate, ensure that you close it. Do not assume that someone else will close it for you.
Please observe and follow any signs and/or markers. Maximum speed on the scout reservation is 5 MPH.
We have permission to drive into and park in the launch site area only. No one is permitted to enter any scout activity, camping or housing area. If you are not familiar with the property and where we are and are not permitted to drive, contact a TBRA officer for further guidance before proceeding.
Motorized vehicles are permitted in the launch site area only, and must remain on established roads at all times while on the Scout Reservation.
Do not climb over or stand on fences or gates. Follow a fence until you reach a gate. If the gate is locked, do not proceed any further. Return to the launch area, and we will contact the reservation manager for guidance.
If a rocket "lawn darts" into a pasture or any type of agricultural area, use extreme care in removing it. Do not take a shovel and proceed to dig it up.
The Scout Camp Reservation will allow the use of restroom facilities near the launch site. We are permitted to use this facility only. Please keep it neat and clean. Follow all directions posted inside the facility, and do not dispose of trash in the toilet.
Cutting, uprooting, or destruction of trees or other vegetation is prohibited. Do not cut down or damage trees to recover a rocket. If needed, we may ask the reservation manager for assistance.
The operation of any type of ATV/RTV is not permitted.
The use of any tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, and/or illegal drugs are not permitted anywhere on the Sand Hill Scout Camp Reservation.
Personal firearms and/or ammunition, sheath knives, bows/arrows are not permitted on the Scoutt Camp Reservation. Concealed weapon or carry permits do NOT provide an exception to this prohibition.
No pets ( except service animals) are allowed on the Scout Camp Reservation.
Bring all lost and found items to the launch control tent. Everyone likes to get their stuff back.
Prior to leaving the field, pick up all trash and take it with you. This includes not only your own trash, but anything that might have blown into your area.
