Campsite Facilities Each campsite is equipped with two picnic tables and benches, a sunshade, electricity, and drinking water. All campsites have 10x12 canvas tents with concrete platforms and steel pipe frames. Units should NOT bring their tents as shuttle space to the island is limited. While axes are permitted, they must be used only in your unit’s axe yard. Please do not cut down any standing trees. It is recommended that units bring a plug strip/extension cord to power any personal electronics or CPAP machines. We request that units refrain from hanging hammocks to any part of the tent frames or cots as it causes damage to the frames. Unit Equipment Units need to bring personal camping equipment, such as sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and personal hygiene items. Melita Island provides tents and cots on a platform for all campers, and a sunshade and picnic tables in each site. Please do not bring extra gear such as cook stoves, water coolers, patrol boxes, Dutch ovens, etc., to the island. The camp can provide these items for any unit that may need them. All materials/gear must be transported by boat. Leaving these items behind cuts down on space and labor. Trading Post The Trading Post will have camp-branded merchandise, T-shirts and other apparel, camping and outdoor survival items, toiletry items, craft items, snacks, and beverages. Trading Post hours will be posted. The Trading Post accepts cash, credit/debit cards, and Montana Council Scout Bucks. NOTE: Our Trading Post sells pocket knives to Scouts who have a Totin’ Chip card. A Scout can also purchase a knife with the permission of an adult leader. If a parent or unit does not want their Scout(s) to purchase knives, that expectation must be communicated to the Scouts directly. Our staff will not be responsible for policing an individual unit policy or parent wishes regarding pocket knife purchases. 6 | page
