Troop 363,
I'm back from DC and ready to make Summer Camp a huge success. I've attached everyone's class schedules. Only the Acting SPL needs to be aware of the SPL meeting. The Totin' Chip is just an offering, not a requirement. Connor will need to pick a replacement class for Inventing as it was cancelled.
Sunday, 23 June - I'm asking the Drivers, Acting SPL, PLs, and QMs to arrive by 7:40 AM for a quick chat before everyone else arrives by 8:00 AM. The PLs will be collecting permission slips and $40 Gas Money from each member of their patrol. The QM will be helping Sean connect the Trailer. Michael will be collecting medications. Please be aware that the church will be having a service, we will meet in the back corner of the parking lot nearest to the storage unit. We need to be 'on the road' by 8:45 AM to have an appropriate amount of time for lunch (Road Ranger Truck Stop in Cisco) and meet our scheduled 1:30 PM arrival time.
Camp Constantin - We will be in the Echo Valley campsite. This is the most conveniently located site available and has water views. Check in is slow just like all other BSA summer camps and everyone needs to be living that Scout Oath and Law to make it as painless as possible.
****If you did not take a swim test and do not want to be classified as a non-swimmer, pack your swim gear in your daypack (or wear it) so you can test easily during check in.
Wake-up time will be 7:00 AM daily with flags at 8:00 AM. Table waiter duties will be assigned to patrols and the PLs are going to make sure it gets done. We will also be raising the flags on Friday which the Acting SPL will be in charge of.
Camp Constantin's will be having events throughout the week with Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, just like the Olympics. Each CAMPSITE will be awarded points for medals earned by the campers in that site, and Medal Counts will be updated throughout the week. So we also need to be sure to cheer on your fellow campsite members! The events currently scheduled (subject to change) are:
--Monday: Disc Golf, Rifle Top Shot
--Tuesday: Shotgun Top Shot, Cowboy Action East Side, SM Dutch Oven Cookoff, Best Table Decorations
--Wednesday: Archery Top Shot, Video Game Tournament, Campsite Inspections
--Thursday: Cowboy Action West Side, Welding Competition, Fishing Competition, First Aid Relay
--Friday: Tallest Pottery, Best Finished Leather, Best Finished Basket, Best Wood Carving, Chess Tournament, Triathalon, Raft Race, Sailing Regata, Fat Bat Tournament, Soccer Tournament, Gaga Ball Tournament, Cleanest Dining Hall Tables ("Tournaments" will be held throughout the week, with finals on Friday)
We will be returning Saturday, 29 June. Goal arrival time is 2:15 PM. I am tracking everyone returning to the Church for pickup except Max, Brode, Wayne, and Theo. If that changes, communications must come to me via Facebook Messenger.
I've attached a map of Camp Constantin for reference, but we will get a tour at arrival so everyone is comfortable with finding their way around camp and where their merit badges will be taught.
Camp Constantin has asked me to relay that they are collecting goods for the Genesis Women's Shelter and their needs list is located here if you'd like to participate. This e-mail already has over 20 attachments so reach out if you need any of the previous attachments (like the packing list).
