when installing the Cell Tower
• The Goal is to maximize reception throughout
our camps so that Emergency calls could get
through regardless of where the activity is
occurring.
• Reliable communication is essential to Scout
Safety especially in an emergency where
response time is critical.
• The Council Health and Safety Committee is a
strong proponent of this effort.

10. Connectivity was a main consideration
for locating the Cell Tower
• Leaders have asked for improved connectivity in
order to stay in touch with home and business
while at camp.
• More and more of today’s leaders must base their
decision to attend camp on their ability to remain
connected to their work and home.
• Connectivity is an essential support to the leader of
today and tomorrow and Atlanta is leading the way.
