For those scouts attending either Camp Bell and/or Hidden Valley this summer, here are the details regarding arrivals and departures:
~ All first week Scouts need to arrive at Camp Bell by 1:00 PM on Sunday aug 3(or at Hidden Valley by 1:00 PM Sunday the 10th if attending the second week only). _DO NOT BE LATE_ as you will hold up the entire Troop. Plan on 2.5 hours to drive up.
~ If you are taking the bus up on Sunday August 3rd:
+ please arrive at St. Brigid’s at 9:15 AM as we need time to load gear on the truck
+ there will be no stop along the way for lunch so BRING A BAG LUNCH & something to drink
~ THERE IS STILL ROOM on the bus. Please respond to this email if you want your Scout to take the bus either to camp on August 3rd or from camp on August 16th. Likewise, if your Scout is signed up to take the bus and won’t be taking it, please let us know ASAP.
~ For those taking the bus back on Saturday the 16th, estimated arrival time at St. Brigid’s is 1:00 PM.
~ Directions to camp can be found at:

Please note that we are weeks 7 (Bell) and 8 (Hidden Valley).
~ Scouts who are going to go home after the first week will be ready for pickup in the parking lot of Camp Bell by 9:30 AM on Saturday. Parents 2must check out with an adult leader from Troop 160 before leaving with their scout. Parents need to arrive by 9:30 to avoid delaying the move to Hidden Valley for the Scouts staying both weeks.
~ All Scouts should arrange to be out of camp from 10 AM until 4 PM on Saturday to give the adult leaders a chance to regroup and to allow parents to visit with their sons. If a parent cannot be there, please arrange with another parent to have your Scout spend the day with that family. There are laundromats, miniature golf courses, and other stores close by. Unless you hear otherwise, pick up for Scouts leaving for the day will also be at Camp Bell. Again, please arrive by 9:30.
~ Supper Saturday night and brunch on Sunday for all those staying over will be provided by the troop.
Please respond to this email with any questions.
Thank you.
