To all Hidden Valley Summer Camp Scouts:

It is time to select Merit Badges for Hidden Valley Summer Camp. Each scout needs to pick 3 Merit Badges he would like to work on at camp with a 4th back-up choice just in case. Attached you will find the 2011 Merit Badge schedule. This lists the Merit Badges offered this year and the time slots to help you make your selections. Scouts should select and number 4 merit badges in order of preference (1,2,3,4).

I will need your info by the May 26 meeting at the latest.

Please see me Thursday at the meeting with any questions,

Hi all,
It is time for the final payments for summer camp.  Please fill out the form and mail me the check made out to Troop 160.  I will be at the Troop Meeting at the end.  Matthew is out of town.

Please pay early if possible.  We need to deposit the checks in the bank then write a check to pay for camp.  So the more we get early, the easier it is manage the accounts without bouncing.

I am attaching the forms for final payment and Adult Volunteers.

***** We need more adult volunteers.  We have a large group of boys going to camp so we get extra free spots for adults.  Please volunteer to spend a week at camp or at least two nights and two days.  It is fun, relaxing, and all expenses paid (its free).

If you are volunteering for Philmont next summer, this is a great chance to get some experience at a scout camp.******

See you Thursday.

Hi all,

We are up to 50 scout weeks for summer camp with the time split fairly evenly between camps.

I will have a list of scouts who have put down deposits for summer camp at the Court of Honor tonight, so please check the list and let me know if it is not correct.

I am attaching the forms if you have not signed up your scout.

Also, we are looking for a few volunteers for camp.  We have openings in both weeks.  Please think about giving back to the Troop.  If you want to go to Philmont, summer camp is a great way to see how scout trips work and to get some necessary training!  Just fill out Form 3 and send it in.

Hi all,

It is that time again!  Summer camp.  This is a great experience for
all out scouts.  We STRONGLY encourage all our scouts to go to both
weeks of summer camp.  The two camps provide different great experiences.

The weeks are:
Camp Bell  Aug 7 – 13
Hidden Valley Aug 14-20

Please read over the “Information Sheet” and return your deposits to
me, Jeff Shorter, by March 4th.

For some of the older scouts 14+ there are some high adventure options
(SPOKE and Valley Voyageur) that can also be coupled with the camps.

Where else can you get the great experiences for your son and two
weeks room, board, and transportation for $700?????

If you have any questions, email, call, or see me at the meetings.
