Hi Folks!
We now fully on for the Camporee NEXT WEEK!  

Twenty people have signed up and all spots have been taken.  

If anyone would still like to attend, please email me and you will be on the
waiting list.  (At this time, there is no waiting list.)

Similarly, if you are on the list below and can't attend, please contact
those on the waiting list (IN ORDER) to provide them with the opportunity to
attend.

We will need to use small tents for this trip as our space is VERY TIGHT.
On Tuesday, starting at 7:00 PM we will set up flags in the cemetery at
South Church.  After that, we will walk over to St. Johns and continue our
meeting and packing process for the weekend.  We will load Troop gear on
Tuesday.

The four other drivers will need to transport a total of 18 (EIGHTEEN)
people, including themselves and all personal gear and tents.    

We need to set a time for departure on Friday night from St. John's when all
four drivers can assemble to get everyone together.  
(THERE IS NO SATURDAY ACCESS PER THE NJ STATE POLICE).

I should have the parking passes before the Troop meeting on Tuesday.  If I
don't, I will give them to one of the drivers.  There is NO ACCESS without a
parking pass properly displayed in the front window, even on the roads
leading into the Camporee.  All security as well as the event sponsorship is
provided by the NJ State Police who are our hosts.

Mr. Aujero, Mr. Castillo, Mr. Curtin and Mr. Kochakian are able to drive
additional Scouts.  Do not keep these thoughtful gentlemen waiting.

All materials that I have been sent have been forwarded to the entire Troop,
in some cases, several times.  Review the materials, be in uniform on Friday
night at the appointed time and allow for a timely and efficient departure.

Adults
1. Gordon Beattie (Driver in the middle of the day with TROOP gear)
2. Ralph Gulko (Passenger with Mr. Beattie)

3. Dan Curtin (Driver Friday evening)
4. Peri Castillo (Driver Friday evening)
5. Ed Kochakian (Driver Friday evening)
6. Dennis Aujero (Driver Friday evening)

Scouts
1. Patrick Curtin
2. David Castillo
3. John Racanelli

Hi Folks!

We are going to the NJ State Police Camporee in two weeks on May 20-22.

This event is scheduled every three or four years and is being held at the
State Police Academy in Sea Girt, NJ.

Many very special activities and events are planned which are quite unique
in Scouting, so don't miss the opportunity!

We have paid for twenty slots.  Two of these slots are taken by Mr. Ralph
Gulko and myself.

We need to know who the eighteen other Scouts and parents are THIS WEEK.

We will be loading up the truck with Troop gear and non-perishable food
items during the Troop meeting on May 17th.

I am going to be going down to the Camporee during the day, to assist with
the sub-camp setup, so coordination of who is going and how they are going
will be required in advance.

See the enclosed email and attachments for additional detail.

KEY POINTS:

*       The New Jersey State Police are not allowing for Saturday arrivals.
Friday through Sunday participation is required.

*       Mass and other religious services will be provided on site.

*       We will need transportation and chaperones for our Scouts as well as
definitive commitment by Scouts and parents.

Those Scouts age 14 and above should consider signing up for the fitness
challenge.  I need your signed forms by Tuesday, May 17.  They are enclosed
in this email.

There is also a Color Guard competition.  If we can get three or more Scouts
to do this, they can practice this week.

See you on Tuesday at 7:00 PM.

Happy Mothers Day!

Yours in Scouting!
Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

Dear Unit Leader,

As we approach the 2011 New Jersey State Police Camporee, you will receive a

Driving Directions: The driving directions to the NJSP Camporee can be found
online at www.JerseyShore-BSA.org <http://www.jerseyshore-bsa.org/>  under
the New Jersey State Police Camporee

Day Trips: To clarify, there will be no Saturday arrivals for campers per
installation policy. All participants are to arrive Friday evening and will
depart Sunday morning. Units and campers may not depart on Saturday evening.
Please remember that we are guests of the New Jersey State Police and the
New Jersey Army National Guard!

Parking Passes: Special parking passes will be mailed on Monday to the unit
contact on file for each troop. You will receive ONE Cargo Vehicle Pass that
allows the vehicle to drive directly to the sub-camp Cargo Vehicle Corral.
You will receive ONE Parking Pass for every FOUR registered participants.
Important: Vehicles without passes will not be admitted to the Sea Girt
facility. No Exceptions!

NJ State Troopers Eagle Scout Association special offer: The NJSTESA will be
offering a limited edition t-shirt for sale at the Trading Post starting on
Friday evening. This amazing shirt design has been prepared to serve as a
perfect Class B uniform shirt and raise funds that go directly back to
supporting local Scouting. Quantities are EXTREMELY limited, so be sure to
get yours early on Saturday!

Merit Badges: Please have your Scouts bring Blue Cards for any merit badge
they plan on working towards. Counselors will have a stamp to complete the
Counselor Info section.

Color Guard Competition: A Color Guard Competition will be hosted in front
of the stage at 10am Saturday for any units interested in participating. A
scoresheet of the maneuvers to be graded has been posted on our website at

Camping at JerseyShore-BSA.org to sign
your unit up! A trophy will be presented to the top scoring unit!

sign-ups taking place at the Friday Leader's Crackerbarrel in each subcamp.
The handbook and hold-harmless agreement (permission slip) can be found
