Summer Camp

Dear Parents and Scouts: I wanted to get some important news out to all of our troop members that was decided tonight at our Troop Committee meeting.  This news is in regard to our Troop’s Summer Camp which will be July 3rd-July 9 th at Camp Chief Logan in Jackson Ohio.  We had a donation given to the troop that will help us give each scout wanting to go to summer camp a $100.00 incentive.  To use this incentive, you must have your scout registered and totally paid [$160.00 your cost per scout ] by the March 22 nd meeting night so we can get it turned into council by the April 1 st deadline [no meeting on March 29 th ].  For those Webelos coming into the troop – they will have this same incentive.  They will have a longer amount of time before it will be due to the troop.  That date is currently not known, but I would guess that it would need to be paid by end of May. I have included a list of merit badge opportunities and a troop registration form for ...
