The following are the plans for Summer Camp 2024 at Camp Constantin.  

- Functional patrols after pulling out the Canoe Trekkers and not wanting to leave Zaccary D as the Lone Red Bull. Nic M will be acting Quartermaster.

- The driving plan is for Sean P to pull the trailer both ways, but Nicky M and Sean P will not be staying the week.  Michael S, Casey J, and Justin B will also be driving, and staying the week.  We have 18 scouts to transport (17 Troop 363 Scouts and Lyla B who is going as a Maverick) and we can weather the storm of any one car failing.  Please bring $40 cash for gas money.  

- On Sunday, 23 June I'm asking for the Drivers, Acting SPL, and PLs to arrive at 0740 for a quick meeting.  This will give us time to meet and the trailer to be hooked up before everyone else starts to arrive at 0800.  PLs will collect gas money and permission slips while directing their Patrol.  I want to be 'on the road' by 0845 with a stop in Cisco for lunch, fuel, and rest rooms.   If anyone is late they can try and catch up to our caravan in Cisco or you will have to drive your Scout the entire way to Camp Constantin.  Our check-in time is 1330 at Camp Constantin so we should have 45 minutes to an hour in Cisco.  

- On Saturday, 29 June we will be returning.  I've asked Sean P to return at 0800 to load the trailer and Nicky M to return at 0900 to drive scouts back to Southland Baptist.  Plan is again a 45 minute to an hour stop in Cisco so scouts need to reserve some of their spending money.  We should arrive back at Southland Baptist around 1415 to unload the trailer.  We will have scouts update their parents/guardians on our ETA when we hit Miles. 

1) Do not keep Food/Drink mixes in your tent, the ants will find it and ruin an evening trying to clean them up.  I've also seen racoons get into toothpaste. 

2) Get the Plano Sportsman's Trunk at Academy to store your gear, they are $25-$30 depending on discounts and can be locked.  Label it. Keep racoons out of your toothpaste.

3) Plan on doing all the offered activities, no one goes to summer camp to brag on all the sleep they received, on Tuesday or Thursday we will be going on a canoe journey before breakfast to devil's gate to watch the sunrise and no one gets left behind in camp.  There is also a hike that has a phenomenal view of the entire camp to devil's gate. That hike will take place one evening, and it will be a hot hike. No one listed any Mobility Issues in their registration form so no one gets left behind.

- I did the ages from oldest to youngest and figured out these bunkmates.  We do not have a guaranteed campsite yet, but could spread out more depending on the number of canvas tents available.  Personal tents and hammocks are authorized as well.

Michael S has volunteered to bring a way to securely store medications. Last year one scout brought more medications than the entire lockbox could hold so be judicious in sending medications. For example, send enough for 8 days, not a Sam's club bottle of Tylenol.  

That being said, this is not the week to take your kids off their meds.  Dessie is collecting medical forms and building the binder for camp.  If medical forms are not in order and cannot be corrected before the trip the scout cannot attend summer camp.  I'm out of town next week so hopefully this helps, any unanswered questions please reply to justin@PROTECTED or ask them at the committee meeting tomorrow.
