Hi Everyone,
THE TROOP AND PACK WILL BE CAMPING TOGETHER JUNE 24-26 AT CAMPGAW RESERVATION, CAMPGAW RD, MAHWAH NJ 
A fun-filled weekend of camping, fishing, hiking, Amateur Radio Field Day and GREAT FOOD!   We will meet at Campgaw at 6:00 Friday night.  
Please let me know if you plan on attending this camping weekend ASAP.
Directions once you enter the Campgaw entrance gate: 
Camping location will be the end of the road that goes straight into the park.  This is where they have the race at the Klondike Derby.  Go all the way to the end where there is a cul de sac where there are flush toilet restrooms.  Do not turn right to go toward the ski area after entering the park.  Continue straight to the end.  Set up the kitchen on the left near the restrooms and have the tents in the back right side and keep everyone near the right edge leaving the middle open for antennas and tents for Amateur Radio Field Day operations. 
Thank you,Judy

> TROOP CAMPERSHIPS

> At this time it is unclear whether we will be able to fund Troop-level
> camperships for those who need them.  As mentioned above, we have
> significant amounts of money owed to the Troop which, if paid would allow us
> to provide all needed assistance.  Further, for several years there have
> been generous SCOUTS from our Troop who have reached into their own pockets
> to contribute to the Troop's Campership fund, so that other boys could go to
> camp.  We should be very proud of those unnamed young men for their
> thoughtful generosity.  Finally, for years we have had a series of "angels"
> who have helped this Troop close gaps, but like many families, they may not
> be able to be generous this year because of the shape of the economy.  Every
> bit helps, so do what you can to be as current as you can so that your son
> and his fellow Scouts can have a solid program.
