Hello Summer Campers – the time for our Camp is getting close.  Here are some reminders.

 

Hopefully, every scout has a trunk to carry their gear in.  Flashlight, water bottle, sun screen, knife should be brought.

Everyone should have a daypack, or book pack to to carry with them every day, with paper and pencils.  I also recommend scouts print the MB requirements, or save them on your phone for reference.  Read through the requirements before we leave.  The camp will provide cot and tents, we bring everything else.

Attached is the list of merit badges each scout is registered for.  If you have questions, call me or we can talk Tuesday.

 

We will plan to meet on Sunday the 19th at Southland, at 7:00 am. 

We will drive to Artesia, NM for lunch.

 

The scout leaders will decide Tuesday where we are eating.

We will eat two meals on the road.  Make sure each scout has $10 per meal.

The Trading Post at camp will be open, so if scouts want to by souvenirs or snacks, bring extra food.

 

I don’t know how this camp is handling Merit Badge fees.  We will talk about that later.

 

The cost of gas will be $35 per person.  You can pay me any  time the next two weeks.

 

I’m ok with taking some bicycles.  The bike must be in good shape, you must have a helmet.  Let me know if you want to bring a bike.

 

I hope for us to come home on Friday the 24th, leaving around 2 to 4:00 pm.

 

I would like to have all the completed medical forms this Tuesday.

I have also attached our normal Activity Permission form.  Please fill it out and return to me.

 

We need all those going to camp to be at the next two Tuesday meetings, if you are in town.

 

More to come . . . J Helton
