Boy Scout Troop 18 and Cub Scout Pack 7

Troop 18 Summer Camp Folks,

 Sunday will be here before you know it!  We are looking forward to a great week of camp.  At this time, I have received all of the boy’s health forms except for the boys below.  At this stage, just make sure you have the form with you on Sunday.  This is critical as the camp will not admit a boy who does not have a form.  Links for forms and info are below.

 I have just added Julie Wooley to this email and have noticed that I do not have an email for Mac Temple, if someone could forward this info to them I would certainly appreciate it. 

 Transportation to and from camp is “own your own,” as we anticipate many boys may bring bikes.  Each scout should plan to arrive at the main parking lot (next to the administrative building) at Camp Hood by 2:30 pm on Sunday.  It takes about an hour to get to camp, so plan accordingly.  Wear your red Troop 18 shirt “Class B” uniform for arrival.  If you don’t have a red troop 18 shirt, I will have some extras on Sunday.  We will check in as a group, get our picture made and have our medical checkup/review before we head to campsite 4 (Redwing) to set camp.  The boys will then do a swim test before dinner.

Please contact me should you have any other questions.  Looking forward to a great week!

Kevin

As a reminder, all adults need to complete the youth protection training found at http://olc.scouting.org/  . 

 Remember: if your son brings a bike he must wear his helmet at all times!

 Key: If your son takes daily medicine for anything, please let me know.  We will have a designated adult make sure that he takes his prescription as required. 

 The troop will have three Summer Camp patrols – Ligers, Smurfs, and Platypus.  These groups will be responsible for our daily chores of campsite clean-up, latrine duty, and dining hall duty.  We’ll elect patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders on Sunday. 

You should make arrangements to arrive by 11:30 am on Friday to pick up your son.  Again, park in the main lot and walk down to Campsite 4.  We plan to leave at 12 noon.

The adult schedule is below.  Many thanks to the men who will help make the week a huge success.  Men, please complete the Class 3 health form and bring this with you when you come (or mail this week).  Also, please complete the Youth Protection training and bring this document too.  On the schedule, I am assuming you will spend the mite for the days shown.  So for example, Harper Keeler is with me on Sunday and Monday nites and will leave out sometime Tuesday am.  This will allow us to keep at least 2 men in the campsite at all times.
