HEALTH FORMS – VERY IMPORTANT! If you haven’t turned it in, please do so right away. Mary Russell does not want to get bombarded with dozens of health forms the morning we depart. Get it done before then. Remember if you do not have a health form, you will not be allowed to depart for camp. Also include a copy of your insurance card. Mary’s email is bsr39@sbcglobal.net
ADULT TRAINING – Any adult attending summer camp (full or part time) must be trained in their registered position. For most of you this is a committee member. All training can be done online and only takes 30 minutes or so. Please contact Tracy Herndon with questions regarding training and your status. Tracy’s email tracyherndon@yahoo.com Please note that Tracy is going to be out of town starting the 26th so please address this issue prior to then.
FAMILY DAY MEAL – If you have not signed up for a dish for the family day pot luck meal, please do so ASAP. Kathy Stevens is coordinating the family meal. If you would rather donate money instead of making a dish she is also collecting money to cover part of the meal. Kathy’s email is tomkathystevens@sbcglobal.net
MERIT BADGE SIGN-UPS - Scouts, please send Mr. Wood the list of merit badges, and times ASAP. He is trying to get them entered into the system but I know he still has quite a few scouts he has not heard from. A link to the merit badge sign up form is on the main page of our troop website (http://troop412bsa.org) . Mr. Wood’s email is wwood@kc.rr.com
PACKING YOUR GEAR – Start packing your gear. Do not wait until the night before. A recommended packing list is on our troop website under CAMPING\PACKING LISTS. Also for all first year scouts and any others planning on taking swimming merit badge, be sure to pack a long sleeve button down shirt and a pair of long pants (slacks, not jeans), keep in mind these will get wet! Also, make sure your swimming trunks are the last thing you pack so they are quickly accessible.
MERIT BADGE PRE-REQUISITES - Not all merit badges can be completed at summer camp, some have work that needs to be completed prior to arrival (Environmental Science is one of them). Be sure to have all the necessary work completed.
TRIBESMAN – Don’t forget to pack your tribal attire.
TENT PARTNERS – Matt, Riley & Jake are working on getting a list of tenting assignments together. If you have someone specific you want to tent with, get with them to see if it can be arranged.
