Troop 39 Boy Scout Summer Camp – 2005

First Announcement:

 Information

To:       All Parents of Scouts and incoming Webelos

From: Mr. Adamson, Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 39 Camping Program

Now is the time to sign up for Boy Scout Summer Camp! This year we are going back to Camp Workcoeman in Winsted, CT, for the week of August 7-13. We have been going to this camp for several years and have had lots of fun every year.

The process for going to camp involves several steps. The first is to signup, and pay for your week at camp. These things are described below.

Camp Application:

Please fill out the application and return it to Mr. Adamson or Mr. McGill as soon as possible.

Payment: Checks should be made out to ‘BSA Troop 39’

Cost: 

Webelos parents: For those sending two boys (brothers), there is a $30 discount for one.

Troop 39 Parents: The cost for Summer Camp is $260 per week for 2005. As always, the troop will deduct from that cost a portion based upon each Scout’s contribution toward wreath sales.   Adult leaders are needed for summer camp and the troop will be limited to no more than 10 scouts per adult leader.  Please contact Mr. Adamson or Mr. McGill if you can help.

Provisional Week: Some scouts wish to camp for a second week, or cannot make the Troop week due to family conflicts. To camp with a scout leader supplied by council, the fee is $280 per week. We encourage those interested to find a buddy.  The provisional week will be held at J. N. Webster on July 31 through August 6th. Troop 39 will provide adult leadership during the provisional week.

Application and payment will be accepted immediately, and are due by April 26 at the Troop Meeting to Mr. Adamson or Mr. McGill. There is a late charge of $30.

Coming up:

The next announcement will be for the first information meeting about summer camp. This will happen in June. Now is the time to schedule your son’s medical checkups. Note that if they have had a checkup since August 15, 2002 you need only update with physician’s approval for prescriptions.. Before then, feel free to call me at home with any questions, or see me after Tuesday night Scout meetings.
