Summer Camp

Thanks to Mr. Simon...the 2009 GAC Summer Camp Guide is posted on our Troop Web Site...please pull it up and read through it for information.on what is expected and what will be available at camp this year...in fact let the Scout read through it also. We will talk to this on the June 1 meeting with all the Scouts and parents who need the information......As Mr. Simon said, there is additional information in the Troop 21 Guide as well as on the Troop Web site that experience has proven acceptable in regards to what to bring to camp....driving instructions are also there as is the location of our camp site this year at "Boone's Place."

Some notes:

This year the uniform for leaders and Scouts in camp is the Class "A" for dinner and Camp Camp fires: that includes Scout socks and Scout belt. The Troop neckerchief is not required. For all other times of the day, except for Scouts going to and from the water front for merit badge work in swimming trunks, the uniform will be either the "red" troop 21 "T" shirt, or an official Boy Scout "T" shirt, with Scout shorts, socks/shoes, and Scout belt.

Personal hammocks..., military, walmart nylon rope types, or any other hammock, as the boys have had in the past, are not permitted ...due to tree damage.

Personal electronic devices and cell phones with or without ear phones are discouraged to encourage the outdoors experience.

We won't be bringing the large, personal square "Steamer trunks" or any hard bodied containers for personal gear as it take too much space on the Frank Tank. Tote bags will suffice for all personal gear.

We will only be allowed one vehicle in camp at a time, so if you are driving..which is fine...plan on packing your gear in the Frank Tank to get it to camp....or you will have to drive your car in and out at a later time than when unload the Frank Tank and take it back out to the Parking area with the bus.

Don't forget..we will discuss all of this and more at the June 1 meeting......in preparation for going to Camp...

Thanks for all your support...
