Scouts & Parents – Here is more information concerning the August Encampment at Camp Fawcett.

Dates are Aug 6 (Thursday night) through Sunday morning, Aug 9.

The camp cost (early registration) is $80 for Scouts, $60 for adults.  This includes all meals.

Merit Badges offered – Astronomy, Nature, Fishing, and Rifle shooting.

There is a $10 program fee for Cooking and Rifle Shooting.

They are also offering Kayaking and Mountain bike riding.  There are fees for these activities also - $15 for mountain biking, and $10 for kayaking.

These fees are to pay for newly purchased mountain bikes, and to pay for kayak repairs and purchases.

Everyone will have to register individually by the 24^th to get the lowest pricing.  I will share the link later.

I know many of you just shelled out $350 for Summer camp, now here is another fairly expensive camp.  Bottom line, we can go to this camp, or we can go back to our original plan of taking our troop to Fawcett on Aug 14 – 17.  I would like to support the Council event, but I will do whatever the majority wants to do.  This will be a discussion point during the Committee meeting Tuesday night the 7^th.

Please talk to your scouts before Tuesday so we can all make informed decisions.
