Yes, for Scouting uses like taking photos of camp or keeping notes, as long as it doesn’t become a distraction. If a phone gets in the way during a program, staff will ask your Scout to put it away. If it happens again, staff will hold the phone until that program is over.

Camp is a week outdoors, and phones do get lost, dropped or soaked. A sturdy case and a zip-top bag go a long way. If your Scout may have a hard time keeping a phone put away on their own, consider leaving it at home. There’s very little cell signal at camp, and Wi-Fi is for adult leaders only.
