Yes, in the past few years we have used 3 differnet council's camps.

Yes, according to the local policy, or it might be a new natoinal policy,
we are required to either be a registered scouting organization, or show
proof of a $1,000,000 insurance policy.

We have done this by registering as an explorer post, but will likely be
