Summer
Camp 2010 - Camp Rodney
Sunday,
July 25 - Saturday, July 31
These
are the highlights from the Summer Camp Parents Meeting:
Forms Needed:
Health Forms
- We need the Health
Forms ASAP
- Parts A, B, and C of the Health and Medical
Record, are required for summer camp. Part B requires a doctor's
signature. The physical exam date must be after July 31, 2009. If
any medications are being taken, Part A also requires a doctor's
signature for each medication being taken.
- Please transfer the date of the vaccinations
to the form rather than turning in the extra pages from the doctors
office. Be sure to keep a copy of the Health and Medical Record
before you turn it in. Do not email completed the Health and Medical
Record (it is against BSA guidelines to email the completed record).
See information below if you need a physical.
Turn in your completed permission
slips ASAP
Merit
Badges:
-
Look at the list of
merit
badges being offered at camp. Help your son choose the merit
badges he will work on at camp. Refer to the Program
Schedule to determine what times each badge is offered. The
Planning
Sheet may be helpful when doing this.
No scout under 15
should take more than 2 Eagle required merit badges while at camp.
Anyone 15 or older
wanting to do more than 2 at Summer camp needs to speak to Mr.
Brennan unless the 3rd is a partial.
Look at the two links
to the merit badge requirements on our links
page. Ask your son and yourself - Is this going to be fun?
Please email Mr.
Thomas your son's merit badge selections. Your son will fill
the blue cards out he needs on Sunday after we arrive at camp.
-
New Scouts have nothing
to worry about! The New
Scouts Program will include all they need. Fun is number 1!
-
Travel and Notes to Parents
We travel to and
from camp in class A. If you want to wear your swim suit under your
uniform that will save time at camp.
Homesickness
- Mr. Brennan is
asking all Parents not to participate in the family dinner at
Summer camp because of home sickness, for which there is no known cure.
-
Mom and Dad
remember how much you can get done at home this week of Summer camp,
painting, yard work, and so on. This is the week to make sure the
calendar is full of these sorts of tasks.
-
Mail: If
you are sending mail it needs to be sent early in the week so it will
arrive. Please make sure not to mention any plans like beach trips
or movies because of the dreaded home sickness.
-
Troop emails will be circulating soon
with all contact information.
