Code Of Ethics
I. The wildlife of today is not ours to do with as we please. The originalstock was given us in trust for the benefit both of the present and future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after us.
II. It is the duty of every person who finds pleasure in the wilderness or inthe pursuit of game to support actively the protection of forests and wildlife.
III. A sportsman will not exceed his legal limit, nor take game or fish out ofseason.
IV. The sale of wild game is incompatible with the preservation of a properstock of game, and should be prohibited by public sentiment and law.
V. A sportsman in the field will not trespass on the rights of his fellows,will not injure or destroy private property, and will at all times exercise the highest degree of care in the use of fire, and the protection of forest cover.
VI. An ideal trip consists of good comrades, fine country, few trophies andthe spiritual values that come from life in the WILDERNESS.
★
A camper’s freedom from constraint,a hunter’s plain and simple fare;Good-fellowship our patron saint,and when we meet—begone! dull care!
Hornaday—1897

THE CAMP-FIRE CLUB OF AMERICA
ORIGIN
Camp-Fire is an organization of outdoor men, and was founded in 1897 as a club of big game hunters and conservationists. Men such as Dan Beard, Ernest Thompson Seton, naturalist William T. Hornaday, Arthur Rice, and a rider of the old Chisholm Trail, Edmund Seymour, knew well the value of a camp fire in wild country, and that is why our organization chose “Camp-Fire” for its name. It’s the nucleus around which civilization was built.
The Camp-Fire is the symbol of our outdoors. At it we warm ourselves when we arise, over it we cook our food, by it we dry our clothes, and in front of it we rest when the day is over. It warms us. It cheers us. It lives if it is fed. It dies if it is neglected. It is obedient to those who understand it. It is dangerous to those who are ignorant of it. It dispels the darkness, and in the circle of its light it shows us the faces of our comrades. It stands for what the woodsman, the hunter, and the fishermen respect and hold dear. Because it is the symbol of the great outdoors, the Camp-Fire Club bears its name.
Those who go out into the forest and plain and return to gather around their camp fire possess certain characteristics—courage, hardiness, patience, endurance, persistence, generosity, honesty and the sporting spirit. These attributes are the ideals of The Camp-Fire Club of America.
The Founders included many men who were recognized leaders in big game hunting and conservation at the turn of the century, and that founding tradition has carried through to the present. Record books of big game taken throughout the world include many of our men as leaders in the field of trophy hunting. There is scarcely a desirable trophy in the world not collected by some Camp-Fire members. Our members also include recognized conservationists, explorers, authors, artists, and others who have established reputations in the great outdoors, sharing the traditions, principles and beliefs of the founders.
PURPOSE
Every club has some reason for being, and ours is to bring together men who go afield. Camp-Fire is for men who know and love the outdoors, the forest, the stream, the jungle. Be they hunters, fishermen, explorers, or naturalists, they are men who can meet the challenge afield in a rustic camp, are self-sufficient, use what nature gives, and sit before the campfire knowing their day has been well spent.
Our Club exists to bring together men who subscribe to the principles of adventure and fellowship in the great outdoors, to share their experiences, and further the interests of hunting and conservation.
Camp-Fire is a man’s club; it is not a family club. Member’s families and other guests are always welcome except on specifically stated occasions, and they should always conduct themselves as guests of the Club. Members are responsible to ensure that all of their guests are accompanied on the preserve by themselves or Camp-Fire members at all times, and that they conform to the established rules, regulations and the Club’s By-Laws.

MEMBERSHIP SPIRIT
Camp-Fire, like any organization, can be only as vibrant and effective in fulfilling its goals as its membership enables it to be. But our Club, unlike any other, requires for its membership a special type of man who is rapidly disappearing from modern society; a perplexing situation which makes the quality of life in our Club that much more unique and desirable.
We have on the Camp-Fire Preserve an environment rich in tradition and fellowship that allows it to transcend the frustrating complexities of urban existence and to be close to nature and our fellow man. There we can be warmed by the camp fire and enjoy the companionship of our fellows, affording a unification of the rugged individual with nature and his own kind.
Membership spirit refers to the attitudes and behavior of our members and guests and is reflective of the quality of life in the Club. The values and standards upon which Camp-Fire was founded are not as prevalent in society today, but they still exist wherever free men who love the outdoors gather. Our task is to identify those men and seek them as members, so that the individuals who subscribe to our values and principles may enjoy the fellowship of their kind, and be preserved as a microcosm of the pioneer spirit that made America great.
Membership ResponsibilityEach Camp-Fire member is responsible to seek out and acquire prospective
members to replace those who have passed on and to maintain a quality of life on the Camp-Fire Preserve that enables us to enter the main gate and to share our sanctuary of the outdoor environment. Opportunities to congregate with our fellows are to be cherished, cultivated and shared with those men who appreciate every moment on the preserve and will contribute to maintaining the fellowship, principles and standards of Camp-Fire.
CAMP-FIRE
Camp-Fire, our property, is the official home of the Club. It is our own bit of the woods, and it is a place of rest and relaxation. It lies midway between Ossining and Chappaqua, about thirty-five miles north of New York City. Camp-Fire is 5 miles north of the Hawthorne interchange on the Taconic State Parkway. North Bound: Take the Millwood/Briarcliff Manor (Rte. 100) exit. At the end of the exit take a right onto Camp Fire Road and go .8 mile to top of hill, the entrance is on the right. South bound: Take Millwood exit, right at the end of exit, under the overpass and first right is Camp Fire Road. Camp Fire Road is accessible from Hardscrabble Road in Chappaqua. There are many other ways to reach Camp-Fire by car, all over good roads. Ample parking spaces are provided. Please close our gate after entering and on leaving the grounds. Drive slowly, as Camp-Fire is a game and bird refuge and deer are at large on the Preserve.
Camp-Fire consists of 233 wooded acres, and there are two lower lakes, connected by a channel, as well as an upper lake northwest of the range area.
There is a Main Cabin for general Club use and there are cabins on the Club Preserve, privately occupied by members.
7
Meal Service: In general, meals are served in the Main Cabin on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and on certain other holidays which are listed each year in the annual White Book and monthly Greensheet. During Spring and Fall Outings three meals are served on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday; breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on President’s Day Annual Meeting and Outing in mid-March. Members wishing to entertain guests for a private luncheon or dinner must make arrangements through the Club Office.
Stag Days at Camp-Fire are announced in advance and traditionally consist of Outing Days, President’s Day, Father and Son Day, Spring Encampment, or at any other event designated as “Stag.” Ladies are not permitted on the preserve on Stag Days, until after 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, the final day of the Spring Encampment and until after 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, the final day of the Outings. Stag days are for members and male guests aged 18 and older.
On the hill above the lake from the Main Cabin is our shooting center. Within a few paces, one can reach the rifle, pistol, trap, tower, skeet, bob white, quail walk, sporting clay and archery ranges.
In addition to the matches held at our two annual Outings, the rifle and pistol ranges are open for shooting year round. Many informal matches are held which are open to members and their guests. The shotgun ranges are open year-round on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, or as otherwise announced..
Every spring and fall, many large trout are stocked in the Main and Upper lakes. There is good bass fishing. Thus, members and their guests may enjoy fishing under rules set forth by the Lake Management Committee. A charge is made for trout fishing privileges. The Upper Lake is designated as fly fishing only. Live bait cannot be used on any lake except by younger children, and should be limited.
Rowboats and canoes are available. Members are expected to treat all equipment as they would their own. After use, boats or canoes must be returned to the Club dock.
Please refer to the House and Ground Rules of the Club regulations covering children on the Preserve.
THE CONSERVATION WORK OF THE CLUB
The Camp-Fire Club of America has a history of work in conservation that traces back to its earliest days. On July 10, 1909, a letter to members of the Club, signed by Ernest Thompson Seton, President, and by Dr. William T. Hornaday, expressed the views of the Club membership by noting:
“It is the sentiment of a large majority of the Board of Governors that it is the bounden duty of the Club to enter actively into the general cause of wildlife protection…”
The Club formed the Committee on Game Protective Legislation and Preservation now expressly recognized by Art. IX, Sec. 4, of the Club’s By-Laws, which provides for the development and promotion of sound conservation programs both inside and outside of the Club Preserve. This committee later became known as the Conservation Committee.
8
The first meeting of the Committee was held on December 1, 1909, with Dr. William T. Hornaday as Chairman. A milestone in the history of the Club had been reached.
Any attempt to record in a few pages the work and efforts of the Conservation Committee could not do justice to the tremendous and far reaching accomplishments of nearly 100 years of service. A few accomplishments, however, are worthy of mention.
At the local, state, national and international level this Committee has earned an unsurpassed reputation in conservation. Among its many outstanding accomplishments, the Conservation Committee played a critical role in the passage of both the Game Breeders Law (Bayne Law) and the Plumage Law, the establishment of the New York Reforestation Commission of the Forest Preserve, the formation of New York State’s Conservation Council, the preservation of the Alaska fur seal, the formation of the American Bison Society, the establishment of National Park Standards, Mount McKinley National Park and the wildlife control therein, the Migratory Bird Act, the Atlantic Waterfowl Council, and the National Wildlife Federation. The Conservation Committee began to study the problem of pesticides and their allied toxicants in 1957 and has endeavored through legislation to control their indiscriminate use.
In 1956, the Committee prepared and published the “History of the Committee on Conservation of Forests and Wildlife of the Camp-Fire Club of America, 1909-1956.” Each new member of the Camp-Fire Club receives a copy and all members are urged to read this history. This history will soon be available in a volume updated to 2005.
The work of individuals on the Conservation Committee has also been widely recognized. In 1956 the New York State Conservation Department placed a bronze plaque on the Rangers’ cabin at Lake Colden in the Adirondacks, setting aside that portion of the Forest Preserve as the “Marshall McLean Forest,” dedicated to a Camp-Fire Medal of Honor recipient. The plaque states, “His untiring zeal and determination to make secure a large section of the Adirondack wilderness for future generations played an important part in adding to this area of the Forest Preserve.”
At present the committee keeps a constant watch on issues affecting forests, water, wildlife, legislation and the overall welfare of the environment.
If the first milestone in the history of the club was reached on December 1, 1909, then certainly the second milestone was reached on January 6, 1975, when a sub-committee was formed to determine the best way to create a fund for conservation projects. On January 11, 1975, the sub-committee met and formed the Camp-Fire Conservation Fund, a non-profit membership corporation with a membership comprised largely of members of the Camp-Fire Club. In the course of the Fund’s life, grants have been made to a broad range of projects that have included not only projects that have studied various species, but also educational projects designed to increase awareness of the importance of conservation. Each year brings new and different projects.
Most recently, the Camp-Fire Club of America joined a summit that could have a profound effect on the future of wildlife during the 21st century. Facilitated
9
by the Boone and Crockett Club and held in Missoula, Montana in August 2000, this meeting brought together the leadership of 35 wildlife organizations representing 4.5 million hunter/ conservationists and resulted in the formation of the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP). Based on the theme “We Believe in Magic”, the AWCP met for the purpose of building unity, identifying key wildlife issues and developing a vision for wildlife for the 21st century that could form the basis for the conservation agenda for the Bush Administration.
Several meetings have followed this initial Partners meeting. These follow-up meetings included the second annual meeting of Wildlife Conservation Partners in August 2001. Two days of strong collaborative effort resulted in the development of the document, “Wildlife for the 21st Century.” This document was presented to President George W. Bush in 2001. Most recently, the Fifth Annual Meeting of the AWCP was held at The Camp-Fire Club with 38 organizations in attendance and 11 guests from the Department of the Interior.
The recommendations offered in Wildlife for the 21st century represent a general agreement of the Wildlife Conservation Partners and served to guide the present Federal Government in developing policies governing wildlife and conservation. Updated goals were formulated and presented to Secretary of the Interior in May 2005. These goals, presented and supported by the united voice of the Wildlife Conservation Partners are intended to ensure the continued preservation of wildlife and habitat and to continue to keep wildlife management in America the priority it deserves to be.
The Camp-Fire Conservation Committee will continue its ever-widening efforts to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the members of the Camp-Fire Club of America for the advancement and protection of both mankind and the wildlife with which we share the environment.
CONSERVATION FUND
The Fund is a separate entity from The Camp-Fire Club of America. It came into being in 1977 as a tax-exempt membership corporation and coordinates its goals with the assistance of the Club.
The stated purpose of the Fund is reflected in its invitation to founding membership dated March, 1977, as follows:
In the last century, our remaining frontiers were conquered. Now, with the exception of over-utilized national parks, and in many cases improperly managed national forests, the last pockets of what had been virgin territory are vanishing. Free-roaming game which once abounded in these forests and on our plains and prairies is under pressure from all sides. Before both land and game are gone forever, The Camp-Fire Club of America has decided to commit both its reputation and resources to the concept of protecting and expanding areas where all native fauna may have a lasting home and, very importantly, be sought by dedicated sportsmen of this and future generations.
But there are other goals, other steps to be taken in order to fulfill our aims. These are:
• To inform both the general public and governmental agencies regarding
10
intelligent use of what remains of our natural resources. We believe that our resources should be enjoyed, perpetuated and improved, not squandered.
• To restore and publicize the roll of the sportsman—as a conservationist—as the regional conservationist.
• To organize and fund educational and public information projects. This includes publications as they relate to conservation and wildlife management, linked to hunting, fishing and shooting sports activities.
• To coordinate the effort of sportsmen’s and conservation organizations. It is only through a concerted effort of all interested groups that sportsmen can recapture their position and wield the influence necessary for constructive change.
• To support wildlife conservation research, including game and nongame species with emphasis on programs related to the conservation activities of hunters and fishermen.
• To support land use research and education again with emphasis on continuing use for hunting and related outdoor recreation.
The Fund has since 1977 listed among its accomplishments contributions of scholarships in the field of wildlife conservation, contributions to the purchase of feed for a starving duck population, Isle Royale Wolf Study, and jointly published a survey of the black bear population in North America with the Boone and Crockett Club, Big Horn Sheep Study and many other projects.
Membership in the Fund is available to members of the Club and others. Inquiries should be addressed to the Camp-Fire Conservation Fund, Inc., 230 Camp Fire Road, Chappaqua, New York 10514.

It seems to be appropriate in our Club to reward individual achievements at Outings, in competitive events, in conservation work, and for acts of valor and distinction. It also seems that we should acknowledge the work of certain individuals whose contributions, for the most part, are unrecognized by the general membership. These are the people who quietly dedicate a large part of their personal time to improving the quality of life in the Club, often behind the scenes, and are known only to a few Board members or committee chairmen.
Recommendations will be accepted from any committee chairman, Board member or Club officer for award candidates. Any member in good standing who has made significant contributions toward the objectives of the Club is eligible. It shall be the President’s sole discretion in selecting the individual who will finally receive the award.
The award will consist of a miniature gold replica of the American Bison horns, and will be given to each recipient. The recipient’s name will be engraved on a master plaque to be retained on display in the Main Cabin. The master plaque will consist of a set of American Bison horns mounted about a walnut panel, to which the individual recipient’s names shall be inscribed.

THE BACKLOG
The Backlog is the official publication of The Camp-Fire Club of America. First published in 1922, it is issued annually on President's Day.
Feature stories and reports to the “Whatcha Doin’ Dept.” keep Camp-Fire members informed of the latest adventures of fellow members. These activities cover most areas of the globe and tell of exotic species and far off places, as well as tales of nearby localities.
The Backlog also keeps members informed of the Outing winners, the results of our shooting matches, the description of our trout fishing, and of our historic happenings.
The Backlog is supported by member contributions and by advertisements. Articles are accepted from members only, and should be submitted no later than November 1st.
✩ ✩ ✩
MID-WINTER DINNERS
It has long been a Camp-Fire custom to hold dinners with appropriate entertainment for members and guests during the winter months. The Mid-Winter Dinner has been an annual tradition since the founding of the Club. The March dinner, combined with the annual meeting of members and the election of Governors, is the “President’s Dinner” held at Camp-Fire.
Guests are permitted at the dinners. Members are charged for each dinner attended. Notices of dinners are mailed to the members and prompt reservations are requested.

UPLAND GAME BIRD SHOOT
An annual one day shoot using five fields; one of which is an 80 yard walk up course. All “bird” trajectories are adjusted to simulate the erratic flights of Woodcock, Quail and Grouse. A wingshooting test requiring LOW GUN, delayed pulls and the use of 20 and 12 gauge guns/total “bag” is about 123 birds. In the event of tie, a shoot off at Horseshoe Trap will be used. If a tie still exists, the competitors will then move as needed to Grouse Walk, Skeet Doubles, Mixed Skeet and High Tower. Participants in this event are not allowed to set the targets. Gold and silver bird pins are awarded to 3 top Club scratch and handicap winners. Guests are welcome. Name of high overall winner is engraved on the trophy which is displayed in the Main Cabin.
Presented by Henry F. Ayres, Jr.
BIG GAME DINNER
Originally known as the “Buckskin Dinner,” this very popular Camp-Fire event is held on the second or third Friday in February. The Big Game dinner provides a welcome break to the long winter months and an opportunity for Club members to get together and share stories of recent hunting trips and other adventures with their fellows.
A dinner menu consisting of a wide variety of game taken and donated by members is followed by a guest speaker discussing hunting, conservation and other outdoor topics of interest to the Club and its members.
PRESIDENT’S DAY
Held on the third Saturday in March, this is the day of the annual meeting of the Club membership for the presentation of the annual report of the Board of Governors. The membership is also given a review of the activities of the past year by all committee chairmen. Officers and members of the Board are elected at this time and any changes to the by-laws to the Club are voted upon.
The annual meeting and subsequent President’s Dinner are preceded by the Annual Pistol Championship (see page 38) and other competitive events as chosen by the President with awards presented following the dinner.
SPRING ENCAMPMENT
This Club tradition was designed after the early June Outings held at Ernest Thompson Seton’s estate in Connecticut and exemplifying the spirit of Camp-Fire.
From “packing-in” on Friday evening to “packing-out” on Sunday afternoon, Encampment attendees—organized in teams of equal numbers—compete in various modified Outing-type events for individual prizes and a team trophy.
Usually held in late April this stag event is considered by all who have attended to be the most relaxing and enjoyable Club function of the year and is highly recommended to old and new members (and their guests) alike.
LADIES DAYThe first Ladies Day was held in 1919 as a way to provide an opportunity for
the outdoorswoman of the day to compete in the outdoor games. While many of the men and women of that era were very capable in the outdoors, society over the years has less and less encouraged an interest in the outdoors. Ladies Day gives women of today a chance to experience the outdoor game and the benefits that hunting and conservation provide.
The Annie Oakley trophy (named after the peerless female wingshot and outdoorswoman) is awarded to the high combined score during Ladies Day. The trophy has been awarded since 1951.
There are three classes of competition on Ladies Day: Annie Oakley, Sally Clark, and Norma Ayer (for ages 15 and under).
In 2007, the Nancy Reed Award was created. It will be awarded for the most sportswoman-like conduct, showing the greatest promise for furthering the ideals of both Nancy Reed and the Camp Fire Club of America. The award can only be won once. A trophy in the Main Cabin will be engraved with each year's winner.

Scoring of all double targets in the Skeet, Tower, Quail and Bob White events will be based on the “whole pair in the air rule.” If one target of the pair is broken, there will be no score established on that pair and you must shoot at a new whole pair for score.
DECISIONS: The decision of the appointed Range Officer shall be final in calling “Dead,” “Lost,” or “No Bird” targets. However, a protest may be made to the Chairman or jointly to any two other members of the Shotgun Committee, but such protest must be made immediately following the completion of firing of the round in question.
PRACTICE: The Range Officer may permit practice entries if in his judgment it will not delay other contestants. UNLESS ANNOUNCED IN ADVANCE FOR PRACTICE, EACH ENTRY WILL BE SCORED AS RECORD.

✩ ✩ ✩
BAIT CASTING EVENTS
EQUIPMENT: Any standard bait casting rod not exceeding six (6) feet in length. Any standard bait casting reel with revolving spool. Any line of not less than eight (8) pounds breaking strength. Any five-eighths-ounce casting plug approved by the American Casting Association or supplied by or available through the Club.
GENERAL: Plug must be attached directly to line. Competitor must finish each and any record casting round with the rod, reel and line with which he began that round. If competitor is unable to do so, he must retire, and his casts to that point will stand as his first record round; if competitor’s first record round is insufficient for qualification, his second record round can be cast only for qualification, not for special or place.
If plug and line become separated during a record cast, cast counts and scores ten (10) demerits in Accuracy and zero (0) feet in Distance; competitor may attach a new plug and continue that record round. Plug must make uninterrupted contact with the water or with the Accuracy target rings in Accuracy and with the water or the distance markers or line connecting the markers in Distance. A plug first hitting anything other than the water, a marker or the line in Distance will cause a foul, rendering the cast as one (1) cast but scoring zero (0) feet in distance. A plug first hitting anything other than the water or the target rings in Accuracy will cause a foul, rendering the cast as one (1) cast and earning ten (10) demerits.
A competitor seeking or accepting casting or equipment assistance during a record round will be disqualified, except as noted below, and must begin again for requalification only.
PRACTICE: Practice rounds are not permitted. The judge may permit practice casting if, in his judgment, it will not delay other competitors.
RECORD: No casting round will count for record unless so declared by competitor in advance. “RECORD” or “GO” may be called while the plug is in the air.
DISTANCECompetitor makes maximum of five (5) consecutive casts, without time
limit, from the casting platform. Plug landing on or behind stone dam or behind imaginary extension of dam past canoe ramp is out of bounds and counts as one (1) cast but scores (0) feet in distance. If plug and/or line become stuck on or entangled with the distance markers and/or line, competitor may seek assistance without penalty.
Qualification and special scores require average of three (3) casts only. Place score requires average of all five (5) casts; backup round will break place competition tie.
ACCURACYCompetitor makes ten (10) consecutive casts, without time limit, from casting
platform at five (5) 30-inch diameter target rings—two (2) casts at each target ring—located in a random pattern from 40 to 80 feet from the casting platform. Casts must be in sequence, nearest ring to farthest.
Plug striking or landing inside target ring scores zero (0) demerits. One (1) demerit is scored for each foot or fraction thereof that the plug first strikes the
26
27
water outside the target ring, up to a maximum of ten (10) demerits per cast. Plug landing on the bank or in the undergrowth or trees on or attached to the bank is out of bounds, and the cast counts as one (1) cast and earns (10) demerits.
Qualification, special and place scores are determined by subtracting total number of demerits from 100; backup round will break place competition tie.
FLY CASTING EVENTS
EQUIPMENT: Any single-handed fly rod weighing no more than six (6) ounces. Any fly reel. Any fly line of a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet in length plus any backing. Any leader of a minimum of six (6) feet in length. Any unweighted fly tied on a hookless, barbless #6 or smaller hook; no bugs allowed.
GENERAL: Leader, line and backing must be attached to reel, and reel must be attached to rod. Competitor must finish each and any record casting round with the leader, line, backing, reel and rod with which he began that round. If competitor is unable to do so, he must retire, and his casts to that point will stand as his first record round; if competitor’s first record round is insufficient for qualification, his second record round can be cast only for qualification, not for special or place.
If fly and leader become separated during a record cast, the cast counts and scores two (2) demerits in Obstacle, five (5) demerits in Accuracy and zero (0) feet in Distance; competitor may attach a new fly and continue that record round. Fly must make uninterrupted contact with the water or with the Obstacle target in Obstacle, with the water or with the Accuracy target rings in Accuracy, or with the water or the distance markers or line connecting them in Distance.
A competitor seeking or accepting casting or equipment assistance during a record round will be disqualified, except as noted below, and must begin again for requalification only.
PRACTICE: Practice rounds are not permitted. The judge may permit practice casting if, in his judgment, it will not delay other competitors.
RECORD: No casting round will count for record unless so declared by competitor in advance. “RECORD” or “GO” may be called while the fly is in the air.
DISTANCECompetitor makes as many casts as possible from the casting station within
a five (5) minute time limit. The clock starts when “RECORD” or “GO” is called by the competitor, and the competitor must call “RECORD” or “GO” to begin his record round. Distance is measured to the fly only, regardless of where the leader or line land. Fly must first hit the water or a distance marker or line for the cast to score. If fly, leader or line become stuck on or entangled with a distance marker or the line, competitor may seek assistance without penalty.
Qualification, special and place scores require average of three best casts; successive record back-up score(s) will break place competition tie.
ACCURACYCompetitor makes ten (10) consecutive casts, without time limit, from the
casting station at five (S) 30-inch diameter target rings - two (2) casts at each target ring—located in a random pattern from 25 to 50 feet from the leading edge of the station. Casts must be in sequence, nearest ring to farthest, with the line
coming off the reel or off the deck - no “loops” or line markings. False casts are permitted, but once “RECORD” or “GO” is called, fly striking water at any time anywhere in front of competitor counts as a cast and scores appropriate number of demerits up to a maximum of ten (10) for any one cast, and fly striking water behind competitor does not count as a cast but earns a penalty of five (5) demerits. If, for any reason, a competitor claims interference on a record cast and the judge concurs, the judge may allow competitor to take that cast over.
Fly striking or landing inside target ring scores zero (0) demerits. One (1) demerit is scored for each foot or fraction thereof that the fly first strikes the water outside the target ring, up to a maximum of ten (10) demerits per cast. Measurement is made at point of first contact, not last.
Qualification, special and place scores are determined by subtracting total number of demerits from 100; backup round(s) will break place competition tie.
OBSTACLECompetitor makes five (5) consecutive casts, without time limit, from the
casting station at a rectangular target located approximately 25 feet from the leading edge of the station. Each subsequent record round must be declared separately from and after each preceding round. If fly, leader or line become stuck on or entangled with the target or any natural obstruction during a record cast, the cast will count, and the competitor may seek assistance without penalty and then continue. If, for any reason, a competitor claims interference on a record cast and the judge concurs, the judge may allow the competitor to take that cast over.
Fly passing cleanly through target from the front and landing in water behind target scores zero (0) demerits. Fly and leader or line wrapping around either side bar or top of target frame scores two (2) demerits. Fly and leader or line carrying over top of target frame scores two (2) demerits. Fly striking top, bottom or either side bar of target frame scores one (1) demerit regardless of where fly finally lands. One (I) demerit is scored for each foot or fraction thereof that the fly strikes the water outside the target without striking or passing through or over the target.
Qualification, special and place scores are determined by multiplying the total number of demerits by 5 and subtracting this total from 100; backup round will break place competition tie.

CAMPCRAFT EVENTSContestant may use his own knife in the preparation of wood for the fire
but must otherwise use only the utensils and materials furnished by the Club. However, contestant may sharpen the axe furnished by the Club by using his own pocket whetstone on the spot where the contests are held.

✩ ✩ ✩
RECORD SCORE BACKUP FOR PLACE POINTSOn request to the event judge, the competitor has a right to back up his score
shortly after the record round. If the competitor decides to wait longer, then the backup is made at the discretion of the judge to insure that it is not disruptive
30
31
to the flow of competition. The number of back ups a competitor can request is limited by common sense. No practice is allowed or permitted between back ups. The competitor forfeits his preferential place in line once he leaves the event area.
OUTING AWARDSThe Club’s Gold Button (and Requalification Buttons) inaugurated by
the Board of Governors in 1916 are awarded at the Outings for all-around proficiency in the seven groups of Outing events to members who QUALIFY OR REQUALIFY IN AT LEAST ONE EVENT IN EACH OF THESE GROUPS AND SECURE A CUMULATIVE AGGREGATE SCORE OF AT LEAST 100 POINTS. Points earned at any one Outing may be carried over and added to points earned at later Outings until the Gold Button or requalification is won; except that no one may count points earned at one Outing when he has already earned the same points in the same event at a previous Outing.
Qualification—3 points for qualification in each event by equalling or exceeding the specific minimum score, distance or time (see table below) in record entry or subsequent re-entry for qualification only.
Special Scores—20 extra points for perfect score or special distance or special time prescribed for the specific events (see table below) on record entry results, providing that the maximum score is not exceeded for that category.
Place Scores—8 points (and silver medal) for 1st place, 5 points (and bronze medal) for 2nd place and 4 points (no medal) for 3rd place, in each case on record entry results, providing that the maximum score is not exceeded for that category. Maximum Gold Button point score in all contests (combined within each group of events) is limited as follows, regardless of special scores or place points.

Confirmation of Outing scores will be completed by the Outing Scores & Records Committee within three weeks after each Outing. All Outing scores of Outing Competitors, Gold Button and “60 Patch” Qualifications and Requalifications will be confirmed and recorded in the Outing Record Books and announced through the distribution of Camp Fire’s subsequent monthly Greensheet. ALL competitors are responsible for the accuracy of their own: Outing score, event score, Trophy score (if applicable), Gold Button Requal, “60 patch” Requal and Work recognition. Discrepancies or concerns should be brought to the attention of the Outing Scores & Records Chairman within 90 days of the Greensheet Distribution announcement. Issues and concerns brought to the Outing Scores & Records Chairman after this deadline will not be considered and the originally recorded score and Work designation will stand for the record books.
“60” PATCHThe Camp-Fire Club “60” Patch was established to recognize and promote
proficiency in the Outing Gold Button events. The award was conceived and designed by the late C. Bill Colby. The award made its debut at the June 1968 Outing. The ground rules for the “60” Patch are:
The Patch and a brass pin are awarded for the first time qualification in all* outing events.
Qualifications may be carried over from outing to outing until the 60 Patch is earned. Unlike the Gold Button requalifications, events cannot be used for requalification from previous Outings; a requalification must be earned by obtaining a qualifying score in all 20 events in a single Outing.
It was a natural progression that a “60” Patch Requalification Award be established. The objective of this award is to promote all-around proficiency and continued participation in the Outing Gold Button events. This objective will be accomplished through continuous recognition of sustained performance over time in these events.
The ground rules for the “60” Patch Requalification are:This award commenced with the June 1985 Outing—previous “60” Patch
Requalifications are ineligible.Qualification in all events* per Outing is required—no “Outing-to-Outing”
carryovers.The “60” Patch Requalification Award will be presented for each 5th “60”
Patch Requalification.*You may substitute the proficiency and qualifying canoe events for the Portage and Standing canoe events.

OUTING TROPHIESFollowing is a description of trophies awarded at June and October Outings
and the conditions governing their award. In the spirit of competition, there shall be one single winner declared for each trophy. In the event that any trophy remains a tie after all specified tiebreakers have been applied, all events (with the exception of canoe for Bull Moose and Ward M. French) will be placed in a hat and the Sports Activity Chairman will draw one event for further competition. The Chairman will continue to draw events until a winner has been established through competition. (Note: for Ward M. French, both father and son will compete.)
THE GOLD BARThe Gold Bar, denoting the over-all champion, is awarded each June and
October Outing to the member qualifying in at least one contest of each event group and scoring the highest number of points under the rules. This award predated the Gold Button and was first awarded in 1914.
In the event of a tie, the contestant scoring the greatest number of “specials” is the winner. If a tie continues, the contestant with the most 1st place finishes is the winner. If a tie persists, the competitor who bests the other in the majority of R1 scores in every event will be declared the winner.

THE GOLD BUTTONIn 1916 the Governors of the Camp-Fire Club inaugurated and offered a
Gold Button to be worn by any member for all-around proficiency with the rifle, shotgun, revolver, rod, canoe and campcraft knowledge.
“It is not only to award, but to encourage a man in the outdoor game, not as a specialist, but to become an all around outdoorsman.”
June and October Outings are held at Camp-Fire each year. To secure one of these buttons a man must have qualified in one contest of each event, and must secure 100 points. Qualification in any contest earns 3 points. First place earns 8 points; second place, 5 points; third place, 4 points. 20 points are credited for a special score in rifle, shotgun, revolver, fly casting, bait casting, canoe and woodcraft contests. Points earned at any one Outing may be carried over and added to points earned at later Outings until the Gold Button is won; except that no one may count points earned at one Outing when he has already earned the same points in the same event at a previous Outing.

GOLD BUTTON REQUALIFICATION AWARDSThe Gold Camp-Fire Sheep's Head is awarded for each Outing
requalification to men who have qualified for the Gold Button. In place of each fifth (tenth, etc.) Sheep’s Head, a Gold Grizzly Bear is awarded. In place of each twentieth Sheep’s Head, a Gold Bison is awarded. In place of each thirty-fifth Sheep’s Head, a Gold Standing Ram is awarded. For the 50th requalification, a gold medallion of a desert bighorn sheep’s head will be awarded. For the 75th requalification a Gold Standing Mountain Goat is awarded.
Every member attending an Outing is encouraged to support the Outing by giving as much time as may be necessary to any of the committees involved in running the Outing events or activities. If a member is not on one of these committees, he should make every effort to contact the chairman of the committee(s) on which he would like to serve.
Any member competing in any Outing category or event therein is required to work on the Campcraft, Fishing, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun or Scoring Committee for at least one half day of every other Outing he attends. Failure to do so will nullify the competitor’s scores and/or point total for that Outing. If a competitor earns his Gold Button and has not worked, he must work at the next Outing.

THE “60” PATCHThe “60” Patch was conceived and designed by the late Bill Colby, Camping
Editor of Outdoor Life Magazine. Bill was more interested in providing recognition to the well rounded sportsman than to the specialized expert. As Bill explained, “We need to recognize the well rounded individual who is able to qualify in all of the Outing events.” The “60” Patch derives its name from the fact that there are 20 Outing events, when multiplied by the 3 points for qualification in each event yields 60 points.
On January 8, 1968 the Board of Governors approved the proposal of C. B. Colby to institute a new award called the “60” Patch. This award is earned by any member who qualifies in every Outing event except the standing canoe and the portage, for which the qualifying and proficiency events may be substituted. It is meant to recognize individuals for their overall outdoor abilities. The June, 1968 Outing was the first Outing at which members could qualify for this award using the Gold Button Rules.

THE “60” PATCH REQUALIFICATION AWARDThe Camp-Fire Board of Governors announced the “60” Patch
Requalification Award Program in May 1985 to commence with the June 1985 Outing. A magnificent circular solid gold pin with the Camp-Fire logo surrounding a large “60” would be awarded to any member on his 5th “60” Patch requalification. The first pins were awarded at the June 1987 Outing. In September of 1989, the Board inaugurated another filigreed gold pin to be awarded for his 10th and each subsequent 5th requalification.

Any breach of the safety rules may result in a members’ censure and/or possible expulsion from the Club. These rules take effect as of August 10th, 2004, by unanimous consent of the Board of Governors.
GENERAL RANGE SAFETYAt all times while on any shooting range at the Club, the strictest adherence
to all applicable safety rules, applies to all members and guests. Members will be responsible to ensure that they, and their guests, comply with these rules. The rules and regulations for each Range are prominently posted to assist with this compliance.
On any range where a Safety Officer is present, he is in command of the range and his instructions must be followed at all times. Members are required to familiarize themselves with the rules and procedures for all ranges and games prior to participation.
Never bring any firearm to any Club range if you are unfamiliar with its mechanism, its caliber and its safe operation. You must know how it works before attempting to use it on any range.
Eye and ear protection must be worn by all shooters, guests, trappers and Range Officers at all times while on the shooting line on all ranges. In addition, no open-toed shoes or sandals of any type are permitted. Shooters must wear closed-toe shoes or boots.
Alcohol consumption prior to, or while shooting, on any of the ranges
67
is strictly forbidden and will result in the member’s expulsion from the Club. Additionally, members should use discretion in the use of alcohol while on the lakes or when preparing to depart the Club in a motor vehicle. Beyond the law, it is just common sense.
Westchester County law requires that all firearms that are either unattended or not under the immediate supervision of the shooter have a trigger lock affixed to them.
RULES FOR MINORS ON CAMP-FIRE RANGESAll persons under age 21 must be accompanied and directly supervised by
parent or guardian at all times. Children under age 10 are not permitted anywhere on the ranges. Children age 10 and over but under age 12 are allowed to use air, gas or spring-operated firearms only. Children age 12 or over but under age 16 are allowed to use gunpowder-powered rifles and shotguns, permitted they are under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian. Children over age 16 may use gunpowder-powered rifles or shotguns, permitted they are under the direct supervision of a member. Children age 14 or over but under age 21 are allowed to use NYS licensed pistols and revolvers, permitted they are under direct supervision of a parent or guardian who is the NYS licensed owner of the handgun.
PISTOL RANGENo firearms will be handled, cased or uncased, in the pistol house, without exception. Firearms are only to be uncased and handled on the firing line.
• Eye and ear protection must be worn by all shooters, guests and Safety Officers at all times while on the shooting line, without exception!
• During Club events, such as the Outing, Father and Son or Ladies Day, etc., when a range safety officer is present to run the range, firearms are to be handled only with the permission of said officer. Ask first!
• In any case, no firearms will be handled while another shooter is down range. Because of the extreme portability of handguns, muzzle awareness must be maintained at all times and muzzles must be pointed safely down range at all times and only into the impact area. Never elevate a muzzle above the line of the impact area.
• When no Safety Officers are available at the range, check with every member on the firing line to insure that all firearms are safe and unloaded with the actions open, and that it is safe to move down range, before moving forward of the firing line.
• Before moving off the firing line, insure that all firearms are in an unloaded and safe condition and secured properly.
• In case of a misfire, on this and all other ranges, keep the firearm pointed safely down range, wait a full 30 seconds before opening the action, and with the firearm pointed down range, open the action away from the shooters’ face in case of a round “cooking-off.”
• Tracer type ammunition is forbidden for use on both the pistol and rifle range.
68
RIFLE RANGEWhile on the Rifle Range, all safety procedures listed above should be applied.
• Eye and ear protection must be worn by all shooters, guests and Safety Officers, at all times while on the shooting line, without exception!
• Upon arrival at the Rifle Range area, uncase and open the action of all rifles and insure that they are empty and place them in the racks provided. Observe the range sign and the orange flag in the impact area to determine if a member is down range before handling firearms. Firearms are not to be cased, uncased or handled in the rifle house.
• Rifles should either be cased and uncased on the line, or in the parking area, and moved to and from the range with the action open. Bolts and actions are to be opened immediately upon uncasing a rifle and the rifle should be stored in the outside rack with the action open, in a safe condition.
• Load or unload only on the firing line when the firearm is pointed safely down range into the impact area and the shooter has observed that there is no one down range or moving to or from the pit area. Make sure the muzzle is pointed into the impact area, and never above the impact area, in the event of an accidental discharge.
• When shooting is completed, keep the firearm pointed safely down range, open the action, insure that it is unloaded and safe, and then store the rifle safely and remove it from the range.
• In the event of a misfire, keep the rifle pointed safely down range, and wait a full 30 seconds BEFORE opening the action. Eject and properly dispose of the misfired round, while keeping your face away from the action, in case of a round “cooking off.”
• Tracer type ammunition is forbidden for use on both the rifle and pistol range.
• Members working in the rifle pit during outings or special events are required to wear both safety helmet and eye protection, while firearms are being used. NOTE: If a member wishes to insert a snap cap or release the trigger on an
empty chamber for storage purposes, the rifle should still be pointed safely down range, into the impact area.
SHOTGUN RANGES Ensure, as on the above ranges, that the skill level of the member or guest, is
adequate to maintain safety on the range and during participation in any shotgun event.
• Eye and ear protection must be worn by all shooters, guests and trappers at all times while on the shooting line on all ranges, without exception!
• Open all shotgun actions before entering the Range area. Actions are to remain open, and muzzles pointed in a safe direction at all times, when moving to and from the range, to vehicles, or from firing position to firing position.
• Place all firearms in the rack provided, when not in use, and immediately open the action upon removing the firearm from the rack.
69
• Do not load any shotgun until the shooter is stopped, standing on the shooting position and facing safely down range.
• If the shooter is a new or inexperienced shooter, whether member or guest, he is not to participate in any walk-up shotgun game until he has been supervised and instructed, in the safe method for doing so. Members of the Safety Committee are available to assist members for this purpose.
• On walk-up games, in the case of a misfire or broken target where a member must re-start: stop first and unload while in a stopped position, with the muzzle pointed downrange, before turning and walking back to the starting point.
• Additionally, on walk-up games, members who are at the starting point will not put a shell in the chamber, even if the shotgun is broken open, until the member who has finished firing has passed him and is safely behind him.
• On the lower skeet field, when entering the range, do not walk across the back of the field when shooters are on a station, preparing to shoot. This is distracting and might pose a danger in the event of an accidental discharge. Wait until it is safe to move, after the shooters have completed shooting the station and are moving to the next station.
• Release triggers are not permitted on walk-up games, Five Stand or Skeet and caution should be used when they are employed at Trap. If a member is using a release trigger, he is required to inform all members of the squad before the commencement of shooting and must obtain the permission of the squad for its use. Additionally, the firearm with the release trigger shall be marked in the customary manner when employed on the club ranges.
• Tracer type ammunition is forbidden for use on both the rifle and pistol range and only tracers of the non-incendiary type are permitted on the shotgun ranges. Caution should be exercised in the use of shotgun tracers and military type tracers are forbidden on all ranges at Campfire.
• In the event of a misfire, keep the shotgun pointed safely down range, and wait a full 30 seconds BEFORE opening the action. Eject and properly dispose of the misfired round, while keeping your face away from the action, in case of a round “cooking off.”
• Shooters are never allowed to walk backwards with a loaded shotgun.
SHOOTING ETIQUETTEOn all ranges, while safety always comes first, good shooting etiquette should
be observed at all times, for the benefit and enjoyment of all members and guests. Maintain proper decorum at all times while on the ranges. Limit conversation
and never talk loudly or in a manner that might distract shooters. Members should be aware, when introducing a new shooter to the
shooting sports, never to tie-up or monopolize an entire range for the purpose of instructing a single shooter. Choose times when the range is lightly used to introduce a new shooter to the basics of the sport.
When other members are present on the range, the member instructing should advise the other members on the range that their guest is a new shooter. This accomplishes two things: (1) the knowledge that a new shooter is present
70
will add additional vigilance to insure the safe handling of all firearms; (2) more experienced shooters present will be encouraged to contribute their own experience in assisting the new shooter.
New or inexperienced shooters should be instructed, one-on-one, (one shooter, one instructor) and only on stationary games that do not require movement with a loaded firearm.
If a shooter or squad is using a range and has done so for a while, and observes another shooter or squad waiting to shoot, gentlemanly conduct requires that they either be invited to shoot with the existing squad, or allow the new squad to shoot through and alternate rounds so all can participate equally. On the rifle range, benches should not be monopolized for long periods of time when other shooters wish to use them.
Members of the Safety Committee, as well as other members of the Club, are NRA certified rifle, pistol and shotgun instructors. Any member who requires instruction in any of the shooting sports, or who may be unsure of the rules or etiquette of a particular game, should ask for help. Members of the Safety Committee are available to answer any questions or arrange for instruction and are pleased to do so. Think safety!
SAFETY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AVAILABLE FOR INSTRUCTION
Contact the Safety Committee Chairman or the Club office for a list of names of certified instructors.
STORAGE OF FIREARMS ON CLUB PROPERTYIn vehicles, firearms shall have secure trigger locks affixed at all times,
and such firearms shall be locked in the vehicle at all times unless the vehicle is occupied.
On ranges and at other indoor and outdoor locations on Club property, firearms shall have secure trigger locks affixed at all times when out of the sight of the custodian.
Any firearms stored in cabins on the Club preserve in the absence of the cabin privilege holder must be securely stored in a locked gun safe or other locked container which, in the opinion of the Cabin Chairman (who shall consult with the Chair of the Safety Committee on issues relating to safety), meets the security requirements of the Gun Safety Law. Containers incorporating transparent panels or glass windows will not be deemed to be secure. A member’s cabin, even if locked, will not by itself be considered a “container”.
LAKE SAFETYMembers are at all times responsible for their own safety and the safety
of their guests when near or upon any of the bodies of water on the Preserve. Members should familiarize themselves with the location and use of any safety devices, including but not limited to: life lines, throwing rings, personal flotation devices (PFD’s) and CPR equipment.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult (escorted by a member) at all times when on or near the water. Additionally, they are required to wear a suitable PFD at all times while on the lake, dock or near the waters edge.
71
SAFETY EQUIPMENTFirst Aid Kits are located in the following locations: Main Cabin inside the
front door; Upper and Lower Clay Bird Houses, Rifle and Pistol Range Houses; and the ammo locker between Skeet Fields 1 and 2.
Defibrillators (AED’s) are located in the Main Cabin, inside the front door; and either in the Upper Clay Bird House by the front entrance door, or in cold weather, in the heated bathroom between the Rifle Range and the Lower Clay Bird House.
Oxygen is located in the Main Cabin, by the First Aid Kit, at the front door; and either in the Upper Clay Bird House by the front entrance door, or in cold weather, in the heated bathroom between the Rifle Range and the Lower Clay Bird House.
Directions to both local area hospitals are also contained there. All members should familiarize themselves with both the use and type of equipment available in emergencies and are encouraged to contact the Club Office for periods when they might attend either CPR or Defibrillator training.
Camp-Fire caretakers, the office manager and kitchen staff, as well as a number of Club members are certified by New York State and the American Red Cross as First Responders, able to provide CPR and AED in the event of a sudden cardiac emergency. In the event of such an emergency, summon or have someone summon help via 911 and remain with the stricken person until help arrives. Send additional personnel to the Main Gate to direct emergency responders to the scene of the emergency.
FIRE SAFETYFire extinguishers are located in the Main Cabin, Council Hall, Upper and
Lower Clay Bird Houses and Range Houses. Additionally, a fire detection and suppression system is located in the Main Cabin and kitchen areas.
Members are reminded to use the necessary precautions when burning open fires, and are required to insure that all camp fires are attended and extinguished completely before departing.
Members who are cabin-privilege holders should insure that all safety precautions are taken when using propane gas in members’ cabins, stoves, ranges or fireplaces. It is required that all privilege holders provide and maintain an approved fire extinguisher, smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in their cabin.
The Club exists for the use and pleasure of its members. Any suggestions to improve its safety should be brought to the attention of the Safety Committee.
Please note that all members are required to conform with all the laws, rules and regulations of the United States, State of New York, Westchester County and the local municipality concerning the security and use of firearms.
72
REPORTING A SAFETY VIOLATIONUpon witnessing a safety violation, it is the responsibility of every member,
Range Safety Officer, or trapper to intervene and stop the offending member or guest from continuing unsafe behavior.
Members are responsible for safe firearm handling by their guests. Safety violations by a guest are a direct reflection on a hosting member’s inadequate supervision and knowledge of safe gun handling and the member will be held accountable.
Members or trappers who witness safety violations of any kind must report the incident immediately to the Chairman responsible for that range (Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun or Archery).
Upon notification, the Range Chairman is to submit details of the incident in writing to the Sports Activity Chairman, and Safety Chairman. Based on the severity of the infraction, the Sports Activity Chairman will determine whether to escalate the complaint to the Board of Governors.
Escalation to Board - The Sports Activity Chairman alerts the Board Secretary of the incident via email, confirmed in writing. The Secretary will then write a letter to the offending member (copying Sports Activity, Safety, and Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Archery Chairmen) informing him that shooting privileges are suspended on all Club ranges until further deliberation by BOG. A copy of the written complaint will accompany the letter.
Requirement for offending member to regain shooting privileges - Member must pay a Club-approved instructor to complete a NRA-sanctioned safety course for the appropriate shooting discipline (rifle, pistol or shotgun). Should the instructor choose to waive the instruction fee, said amount will be paid to the Endowment Fund of the Club.
Upon notice of certification in writing, the Board will, at its next scheduled meeting, determine whether to reinstate the member’s shooting privileges. A letter stating the outcome of the BOG vote will be sent to the offending member with a copy to the Sports Activity Chairman, who will then communicate the outcome to Safety and all the Range Chairmen.
If a guest commits a serious safety infraction, the Board has discretion on whether he or she will be allowed on Club ranges or grounds in the future.

RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING CABINS ON THE CLUB PRESERVE
1. General(a) Tradition: It has long been the Club’s deep-rooted tradition that the Club
Preserve was to be a “bit of wilderness” and was to be maintained in a primitive state for the enjoyment of the members. Formal dwellings on the preserve were not contemplated, and such shelters as were erected were to be temporary in nature and of a type that would be made and used on a hunting trip in the wilds. This tradition is the basis for the Club’s Rules and Regulations Governing cabins on the Club Preserve (the “Cabin Rules”).
(b) Current Policy: It is also recognized that, in the years since the acquisition of the Preserve, changes have taken place in family life and entertainment, transportation, sports preferences and the state of art in building materials and techniques, as well as an increased consciousness of public safety and health.
(c) Superseder of Prior Rules: These Cabin Rules adopted by the Board of Governors (the “Board”) in 2003 supersede all previous published rules and regulations relating to Club Cabins. However, nothing in these Rules shall require the correction of existing Cabin violations of these or previous rules, except to the extent that any such violations may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Governors, be determined to be hazardous to public health or safety, or are specifically stated herein as being retroactive.
(d) Prohibition On Further Cabin Construction: From the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Governors October 10, 1966:
“The Board wishes to go on record that the building of additional cabins on the Camp-Fire Preserve is not desirable at this time, nor does the Board favor modernization of existing cabins.” In keeping with Camp-Fire atmosphere and tradition, no Cabin may be used,
fitted or equipped to serve as a principal residence or as a vacation home. It is also desired that Cabins be, in interior appearance, simple and rustic.
2. Ownership and Occupancy(a) Ownership: Every Cabin on the Club Preserve, existing and to be
constructed in the future, shall be the sole property of the Club. A member may be granted the privilege to occupy a Cabin, subject to these Rules, but he does not own it.
(b) Members’ Privilege of Occupancy: The Board recognizes that a privilege holder may, from time to time, wish to share the privilege of occupancy with more than one other member; such arrangements are permitted on an informal basis, so long as the ground rent prescribed from time to time by the Board is timely paid. The Club will not recognize any such arrangement other than to require that (1) any member involved in such arrangement be a member in good standing of not less than three years (2) no member may be involved in any such arrangement on more than one Cabin and (3) the name of any member (other than a registered member) contributing to any payment of ground rent shall be disclosed in
74
writing to the Club Office at the time of each such payment. Not more than two Club members will be recognized by the Board as being registered privilege holders. This privilege may be terminated by the Board of Governors at any time, whenever it deems such action advisable in the interest of the Club. Any member whose privilege of occupancy is so terminated shall have no claim against the Club, except for any unamortized ground rent actually paid, and shall remove all personal property form the Cabin within thirty days of termination. Any personal property not so removed may be removed by the Club and stored at the members expense, and sold if not claimed within a reasonable amount of time.
(c) Transfer of Privilege: A member enjoying the privilege of occupancy of a Cabin may transfer such privilege, under restrictions as set forth in these Rules. A member wishing to transfer his privilege of occupancy may do so in a private transaction after sending his request to the Cabin Chairman who will submit it to the Board of Governors for approval. If the transfer is not between registered partners in the cabin, a list of approved members (Cabin List) will be given and used in sequential order to locate a member who wishes to enjoy the privilege of occupancy for that cabin. The Club will not act as intermediary in any such transactions. No occupancy privilege will be recognized by the Club unless the Club office is notified in writing of the transaction and approved by the Board of Governors. The estate of a deceased member may continue such member’s privilege of occupancy only for the purpose of offering such privilege for transfer to another member, as stated above, provided that (1) ground rent shall be timely paid by the estate during such period and (2) the estate’s privilege shall terminate two years after the member’s death if it is not previously transferred. If the privilege of occupancy is not privately transferred, the Board of Governors will utilize the “Cabin List” in sequential order to locate a member who wishes to enjoy the privilege of occupancy for that cabin. Members wishing to be part of the “Cabin List” should send a letter requesting a position on the list to the Cabin Chairman. When a member on the list selects a Cabin or becomes a partner in a Cabin his name will be removed from the list.
(d) Limitation on use: A member may use and occupy a Cabin for which he holds the privilege of occupancy for himself and his guests, subject to the Ground Rules and these Cabin Rules. His family or his non-member guests shall have no privilege of use except when he is present. No Cabin occupant shall permit any unnecessary noise which is annoying to other persons using the Preserve or which is not in keeping with the unobtrusive nature of Cabin use.
Privilege Holders shall not occupy a cabin for more than two consecutive weeks at any time, nor more than fourteen days in any month without special written permission from the Board of Governors.
Failure to occupy a cabin by a privilege holder, or his guest who is a member, within a period of six months shall be considered abandonment of the site unless excused in writing by the Board of Governors.
(e) Insurance: 1. The Club shall maintain, for the benefit of itself and each privilege
holder, insurance against fire and extended perils covering each cabin structure in an amount determined by the Club, with the Club named as loss payee. The Club shall assess each privilege holder annually for the cost of such insurance prorated among privilege holders on the basis of the number of square feet of
75
floor space in each such holder’s cabin. This insurance is subject to a modest deductible applicable to each loss which will be absorbed by the privilege holder. Each privilege holder will be advised of the sum insured and deductible for each cabin. If a privilege holder believes the value of the cabin exceeds that developed by the Club, he may request an increase in the sum insured. Privilege holders are responsible for arranging any insurance they desire for the contents of the cabin and their liability exposure arising from their involvement with the cabin.
2. In the event of damage other than total loss of a Cabin, all insurance proceeds shall be applied to the cost of repair subject to the overall limit applicable to the respective cabin less any cost for debris removal. Before effecting repairs, the privilege holder will submit to the Club (Board of Governors), a detailed appraisal of the cost of repairs. The privilege holder shall be responsible for any deductible amount.
3. In the event of total loss of a cabin by fire or other casualty, the Club shall confer with the privilege holder with respect to rebuilding the cabin. If the Club and the privilege holder agree to rebuild, the privilege holder shall be given a reasonable time, as determined by the Board of Governors, to complete the same as per subdivision (b) of article 3.with the available insurance proceeds. In the event that the privilege holder does not complete the rebuild within a reasonable period of time, in the opinion of the Board, the privilege holder’s privilege of occupancy shall be terminated by the Board and the Board may, but shall not be obligated to, complete the rebuild for the account of the Club.
4. In the event of total insured loss and the privilege holder elects to rebuild, but the Club (Board of Governors) decides against rebuilding, for whatever reason, the privilege holder’s privilege of occupancy shall terminate, and he will be reimbursed, using the insurance proceeds available, based on the actual cash value of the cabin. (ie: replacement cost less depreciation, less the deductible, less the cost of debris removal and less the cost to restore the site back to its original condition before the cabin was built.)
3. Inspection of Cabins and Approval of Construction(a) Inspection: The Board, either in person or through its authorized
representative (who may, but need not, be a Board member), retains the right, at any time and from time to time, to inspect the interior and exterior of any Cabin, without notice to the privilege holder. The Club office shall, at all times, be supplied with a key or combination to the Cabin by the privilege holder. In the event that the key or combination so supplied no longer operates the door lock, the Board, or its representative, may force entry without liability to the Club.
(b) Approval of Construction or Modifications: Before the construction or any modification of a Cabin is undertaken, approval of all construction details must be received from the Board of Governors, in writing, after eighteen dated copies of exact drawings and elevations (to scale) and specifications of the proposed construction have been filed with and considered by the Board at a meeting. No construction or modification will be approved except to the extent that it is in strict compliance with these rules, and any construction or modification at variance from these rules shall be presumed to have been unauthorized. No changes from the terms of approval shall be made to any Cabin during construction or any time later without written authority by the Board after
76
a similar filing of plans and specifications. Any construction or modification undertaken by any privilege holder in violation of this rule will subject the privilege holder to loss of his privilege of occupancy, as well as to an assessment by the Board of the cost of correction of such unauthorized work.
4. Dimensional Rules and Construction Details.(a) Dimensional Rules: (All dimensions shall be outside measurement unless
otherwise noted.) All Cabins shall be constructed with a single floor, with no cellar or basement. Cabins shall not measure more than 17 feet by 21 feet, excluding porches, which shall not exceed 170 square feet. No Cabin shall exceed thirteen (13) feet in height, measured from floor level to the highest internal point of the roof, and side walls shall not exceed eight (8) feet in height. No combination of Cabin and porch dimensions shall exceed an aggregate of thirty-five (35) feet in any direction. Where a Cabin covers more than 252 square feet of ground area, the least dimension may not be less than thirteen (13) feet. Any porch shall be closed to the Cabin on the Cabin side (except for an interconnecting doorway no more than four (4) feet in width) and open to the outside on at least two sides, and may be equipped with screens and weatherproof closures.
(b) Construction Details: Each Cabin shall be constructed of round logs or imitation logs, or on a frame of milled lumber with log siding made in proper imitation of logs. All corners shall finish against an upright rounded post so that the ends of the sidings are not visible, except that extended ends of actual or simulated logs will be permitted if appropriately executed. The log siding shall be lightly stained with a penetrating stain (not painted) so that the Cabin is in harmony with the surrounding forest growth. Concrete or concrete-block foundation supports shall be painted rustic brown. Smooth milled siding will not be permitted on the outside of buildings; however, log slabs or square edged or ragged edged boards, rough sawn, nominally 1 inch or greater and laid horizontally no less than seven (7) inches to the weather, will be permitted. If used, design of outside corners must be appropriate to the material and have the specific approval of the Board. Though rough stone is preferred as material for foundation and chimney construction, concrete blocks (but not bricks) may be used for these purposes. Exposed concrete surfaces must be painted rustic brown (this requirement is retroactive). No solid concrete walls will be permitted. Spaces beneath floors off the ground are to be no less than twelve (12) inches and enclosed by quarter inch mesh or masonry. If by masonry, a close fitting removable man-access panel shall be provided in the wall, and the space shall be ventilated by two, nominally opposed, screened vents each having no less than sixty (60) square inches of free area. Construction is to be such that it can be removed easily and the ground restored to its original condition if the building must be removed. An addition of approved construction, not to exceed 11 feet by 13 feet, may be built attached to the cabin with door connecting if desired. This addition may not be used for sleeping quarters. All toilets must be approved chemical toilets. Outhouses require individual approval for construction and location. Outhouses shall conform to the Cabin structural details and be utilized for approved chemical toilets only. A flush toilet with holding tank may be installed but must be serviced as needed. Separate outbuildings shall not be constructed without written permission of the Board of Governors. All replacement roofing materials shall be the color of “Burnt Sienna.”
77
5. Maintenance and Upkeep; Fire Protection(a) Maintenance: Each privilege holder shall be responsible for the proper
maintenance of the Cabin and to keep it in good repair and appearance. The privilege holder shall, at all times, keep the ground area surrounding the Cabin, for at least ten (10) feet, policed and free of dry leaves and other flammable material and in a neat and orderly condition. The Board may from time to time notify a privilege holder of repair or upkeep to be made if it deems the same to be necessary. If such Cabin and exterior is not maintained to satisfaction of the Board, the Board may elect to perform the same for the account of the privilege holder and/or, at the Board’s discretion, terminate the privilege holder’s privilege of occupancy. Pruning and trimming within a 25 foot radius from the cabin is permitted, however the removal of a tree within this radius must be approved by the Cabin Chairman and Forest & Lands Committee. Additionally, any pruning, trimming or removal of trees outside a 25 foot radius from the cabin must be approved by the Cabin Chairman and Forest & Lands Committee.
(b) Fire Protection: Each privilege holder shall be required to maintain, in workable condition, outside the Cabin, an approved fire extinguisher. Inside the Cabin shall be an adequately sized ABC fire extinguisher , a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector powered by a 9 volt battery.

Outside stone fireplaces are permitted; the design and size to have the written approval of the Board. All outside furniture must be of wood of inconspicuous color. If painted, color must be rustic brown. No fixed outside lights shall be permitted. Paths and open areas shall be inconspicuous and limited to such minimum are as will afford ingress and egress to a Cabin by an individual and provide safe parking. Bank run gravel may be put down in such areas only with the written approval of the Chairman of the Camp-Fire Committee and the Board. Garbage is to be disposed of in the dumpster in the vicinity of the Caretaker’s residence. Further electrification of Cabins, either by connection to power lines or by individual generator units is prohibited.
(d) Use of Club Employees: Club employees shall not be employed in the construction of or for the repair of buildings or for other work of individual members on Club time. Material for construction may not be taken from the Club Preserve without the authority of the Board of Governors.
6. Amendments to Rules. These Rules may be changed by the Board of Governors whenever it deems
such action advisable in the interest of the Club.

THE CAMP-FIRE CLUB OF AMERICAas revised at the annual meeting of the voting members
on March 21, 2009
ARTICLE I—OBJECTS AND PURPOSES
The objects and purposes of the Club, amplifying those expressly declared in its Certificate of Incorporation and conforming to its Code of Ethics as hereinafter set forth, shall be to preserve our forests and woodlands; to protect and conserve the wildlife of our country, particularly game animals, birds, and fish; to sponsor and support all reasonable measures to the end that our own and future generations may continue to enjoy the pleasures of good hunting and the advantages and benefits of life in the great outdoors; to bring together men in all walks of life who, having successfully hunted big game, are interested in promoting and attaining these objectives and to foster good sportsmanship and fellowship among its members.
ARTICLE II—CODE OF ETHICS
I. The wildlife of today is not ours to do with as we please. The original stock was given us in trust for the benefit both of the present and future. We must render an accounting of this trust to those who come after us. II. It is the duty of every person who finds pleasure in the wilderness or in the pursuit of game to support actively the protection of forests and wildlife. III. A sportsman will not exceed his legal limit, nor take game or fish out of season. IV. The sale of wild game is incompatible with the preservation of a proper stock of game, and should be prohibited by public sentiment and law. V. A sportsman in the field will not trespass on the rights of his fellows, will not injure or destroy private property, and will at all times exercise the highest degree of care in the use of fire, and the protection of forest cover. VI. An ideal trip consists of good comrades, fine country, few trophies and the spiritual values that come from life in the WILDERNESS.
ARTICLE III—MEMBERSHIP
Section 1. Any man shall be eligible for membership in the Club who has attained the age of 21 years, who subscribes in sincerity to its Code of Ethics, who is a true lover of the great outdoors, who has camped in the wilderness for at least 30 days in the aggregate and who satisfies the Board of Governors that he is in hearty accord with the spirit and purposes of the Club.

Section 3. The following are the qualifications for and the limitations of the several classes of membership:
A. ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP. Any applicant who is otherwise eligible shall be qualified for Active membership if he has successfully hunted big game, but the Board of Governors may, in its discretion, waive the hunting qualifications in case of an applicant who, in the opinion of the Board, has qualified for Active membership by distinguished services in the preservation of wildlife or forests, in the fields of animal painting, sculpture, exploration or wildlife photography, or in such other activities which are in accord with the spirit and purposes of the Club.
An active resident member under the age of 30 years shall not be entitled to vote or hold elective office.
B. ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP. Any applicant who is otherwise eligible but has not successfully hunted big game shall be qualified for Associate membership.

But, the Board of Governors may, in its discretion, waive the one-hundred mile condition, in any case where, in the judgement of the Board, the enforcement thereof would impose an unreasonable hardship or burden. Non-resident members shall not be entitled to vote or hold elective office.
E. HONORARY MEMBERSHIP. Only one Honorary member, to be chosen from the Active membership of the Club, may be elected in any one year. The member so elected to Honorary membership shall continue to exercise all rights and privileges of Active membership including the right to vote and hold office.

Upon application to the Board of Governors, a Provisional Member in good standing will be reinstated as Active or Associate, resident or non-resident member, according to his qualification at the time of such application, and will pay the then current dues appropriate to his classification.
A Provisional Membership granted hereunder shall terminate 365 days after granting of such status, unless the Board shall in its discretion consent to a renewal thereof.

83
by at least two members of the Club, one of which must be a resident member in good standing, and must receive the affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the authorized membership of the Board of Governors; but three adverse votes shall reject any candidate.

If no adverse comments are received from the general membership, the Membership Chairman will make a specific recommendation to the Board with regard to the prospective member. The Board will then vote to accept or reject each prospective member. The Secretary will notify the prospective member and his sponsor in writing of acceptance to Camp-Fire membership.
