Camporee

Remember..we meet at the hut at 5:00 PM February 18th. Please be on time as we need to use the daylight and time for setting up camp. If he is in a sport activity, please get him excused early as not to slow the Troop down... From the Hut we will go to the Piggly Wiggly in "Bluff Park for ice..then head out to Tanneyhill State Park.

As you know, he needs to eat before he arrives as we will not stop on the way for snacks and he will not be permitted to run into the grocery store for food items. He can pack a lunch an eat on the bus or eat when he gets at camp if no choice otherwise.

Please assure he is dressed and prepared for cold weather and/or rain. It can be miserable if not prepared for it.

The cost is $35.00 per person..If a new Scout, he needs a copy of his BSA medical form filled out as much as possible by the parent if not time to see the pediatrician, with a copy of the family insurance card attached in case of an emergency. If he is not with us at 5:00 PM and is not staying the entire trip, he need not pay the $18.00 out of the $35 for registration, but he will not get a patch for the weekend. If he is not eating all the meals..he can pay $3.00 per meal that he has with us provided he has told his patrol leader he will be there and his food was bought for him as part of the patrol. If he is not riding the bus, he need not pay the $5.00 fuel fee.

If the family is not busy, bring them out to Tannehill and visit with the Troop to get a good idea of our camping operations and share the adventure with the other 700 Scouts and families that are expected to camp and visit. We will have about 80 scouts and leaders in and out of the camp site all day while they are in between activities, setting up the monkey bridge, and individual and team competitions.

If he is a Phoenix patrol member or a new Scout, he needs to bring his Scout Manual/Guide for any check offs he needs to be passed of on and that we will have time for. If he is close to earning his rank, he should bring his book for a Scoutmaster's conference and probably a Board of Review. If he is working on second and first class, he should write the five and total ten activities in his book so he won't forget them for his Conference with the Scoutmaster.

Thanks for all your support and encouraging attendance..."He has to be there to experience it."
