2023 Summer Camp

Summer Camp registrations are due Feb 7!  Please send in your registration info next week so we can get scouts registered in preparation for class registration at the end of the month.  The form is attached.   We’ll be picking merit badges at the Feb 28 meeting.

Recall, Summer Camp is July 9-15 at Camp Friedlander.  Our goal is to have everyone attend Summer Camp.

The Troop had a great week at Summer Camp. Hopefully your Scouts have recovered from all the fun.

Mark your calendars 
Summer camp 2019 will be July 7-13. Mark your calendars now because camp is celebrating it’s 100th year and it’s bound to be FUN.
Trailblazer 
Scouts that took Trailblazer (Hot heads) at Summer camp should bring their handbooks to the Troop meeting. They learned many Scout skills and we want to test those skills and sign off, while it’s still fresh. If your Scout can’t the meeting, we will get this done at their next meeting.
Blue cards
Keep those blue cards safe! Blue cards for incomplete badges (partials) were returned to the Scouts at the end of camp. Blue cards are used to track a Scout’s progress towards a Merit Badge. They are the only record of what requirements have been completed and if lost, the work will have to be repeated. Note: The blue cards for merit badges completed at camp were given directly to our Advancement chair so they can be presented at our next COH.
Partial Merit Badges
Scouts have several options for finishing their incomplete merit badges. They can return to camp during camp open time and work with their Summer camp counselor to complete their requirements (call ahead to coordinate). The Troop also has counselors for many of the merit badges, especially Eagle required badges (see the list below). Finally, Scouts can work with any qualified counselor to complete their badge. I can provide a list of qualified counselors to Scouts that ask.
