Hi Troop 136!
There are some important updates that you need to know about
regarding camp. There is also a lot of information in this email, so it
might take some time to read and process. If you have questions,
please let me know.
Arrive at the church at 12:15. We will leave at 1:00
for a 2:30 arrival just before our window to arrive at camp. Be sure to wear
your uniforms Class shirt, neckerchief, slide, green shorts and wear your
swimming trunks under your shorts. This will save time when you
arrive and set up camp to go swimming. You will also need to be sure that
you have a towel and ear plugs or goggles with you as well. They will
break you into two groups, swimmers and beginners. You will swim the
length of the pool four times. Three need to be a forward style of
swimming (freestyle, sidestroke or breaststroke) and the final return leg will
be on your back followed by a short tread in place and no tread in place while
breathing.
We will go back to camp again once this is done if we have
time to finish setting up our campsite and getting ready for the evening meal.
I do recommend that if you have not read the leader's book
about camp, you might want to do so: http://www.muskingumvalleycouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-Leaders-Guide-3-6-2020.pdf
Here is the information they sent to us earlier this month,
but wanted to share it with you again: http://www.muskingumvalleycouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/Leader-packet-6-12-2020.pdf
Medical Forms:
Don't forget to bring them. We have the Form C for
those that went last year. If you have any questions, please send me
an email. I sent two Scouts home last year because they did not have
their medical forms completed. I do not want to do this again this
year. Please be sure it is done. You can complete Part A and Part
B1 and B2.
Mail:
If you want to send mail to camp, you may do so. I
would start sending mail this week and not send it after Wednesday next
week. The address is in the email I sent.
Here are the updates for the merit badges they can choose
and the draft program area from last week::
Draft Program Area Schedule
Use this form in the email I sent to sign up for the merit badges (if you are a
new Scout, you will be going to the Netami program as they focus on the
requirements for rank advancement most of the time with one time period of two
hours for you to work on a merit badge):
Please also be sure to complete the first three columns as
well as enter your temperature in the GoogleDoc which you can find in the email I sent you
Here are some additional links that was shared with me
last night from MVSR that I want to pass along to you:
