Event Rules
Everyone follows these rules. Exceptions are approved only by the 1926 Committee.
Campfires & Open Flames
Campfires and open flames are only allowed in portable fire pits — raised metal fire pans or other approved, contained units. No ground fires. Follow all local fire department and event safety guidance. Exceptions require advance approval from the 1926 Committee.
All fires are subject to approval that weekend by the Mendon Fire Department Chief. In overly dry conditions we may need to run a fireless weekend — the event will go on either way. We're asking Akela and Baloo to deliver us good weather for the weekend.
Cooking & Stoves
Use only event-approved fire/cooking locations and portable fire pits or camp stoves. Follow fire department and event staff instructions.
Leave No Trace
Pack out all trash, restore campsites, and protect trails and conservation features. All troops are expected to uphold Leave No Trace principles before departing.
Site & Boundaries
Camp only in your assigned camping zone. Stay within event boundaries and follow posted instructions. Drive only during approved times and on approved access routes.
For a rule exception, contact the 1926 Committee in advance: info@mendoncentennialcamporee.org.
