Scout Summer Camp Meeting

Troop 540,

It’s time to start thinking about summer camp. Before you know it, we’ll be heading up to Ranachqua.

We will plan on getting together for our pre-camp meeting in the front of The Knights of Columbus (unconfirmed) on July 14th at 7:00pm. Each scout going to camp should be ready to hand in your completed medical form and select 4-5 merit badges. Download the files for the merit badge schedule, the merit badge prerequisites and fees and the medical form.

You will not be allowed to go to camp without handing in these forms and selecting your merit badges. Please look at the merit badge schedule and be prepared to hand in your merit badge schedule and merit badges.

Also, Mr. Shea and I will be staying at the camp the entire week. We could also take one or two more parents per night, throughout the week. If any of the other parents want to come and stay for a night or two, please respond back to “all” and let us know when you want to come up. Again, we could have one or two more parents per night and I will keep a schedule as I hear back from you all.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
