[Troop139] TROOP 139 GOES TO SUMMER CAMP! - important camp info!!

Thu Aug 1 17:52:03 EDT 2013

Hi Folks!
Just to be clear...do we have three adults for each day of camp?
Also, there were 14 Scouts who indicated that they are going to camp and the
list I received after Tuesday's meeting seems to have two missing Scouts.
Do we know who they are?  I am on the road and can't determine who they
might be.

Be safe in camp!  See you on Wednesday for lunch!

Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

Hi All, 

Below is Camp Info. Please read through. Email with any questions, my phone
is still not working. Just ordered a new phone and should have one my
tomorrow night!   :)

Each scout has sat with me and arranged their merit badge schedule for next
week. 

All persons going to camp should bring ALL OF their medication in a CLEAR
plastic bag labeled with their name. 

______________________________

Once again... if scouts and adults that are planning to attend camp do not
give a Medical Form to Judy Daly, they Can NOT go to summer camp. The camp
will NOT let your child stay there without a completed medical form.  

You know who you are... :(
