Announcements
Camp Bowman Summer Camp
July 21-28, 2012
We have reserved our slot at Camp Bowman at Goshen
Scout Reservation from 21 July 2012 to 28 July 2012. Saturday
to Saturday. This is a slight departure from our normal operations
for summer camp (Sunday to Saturday). The reason behind this is
an additional day to get things organized for the boys regarding
their food and cooking equipment since there is not a mess hall
for the boys to eat at. They will be cooking all of their own
meals, as a patrol, for the duration of summer camp.
The cost is $310.00 per scout and $240.00 per adult if paid before
April 27th, 2012. After April, the cost will go up $30.00 if paid
before June 01st and another $30.00 at camp. The ideal situation
is to pay before the 27th of April.
We will begin accepting payments for summer camp in the troop
immediately, see Mrs. Klinefelter regarding payments. You can
also pay a little each month into your scout account to cover
summer camp so you don’Äôt have to pay it all at once in April.
Also, Mulch sales are right around the corner and can be used
to offset the cost of summer camp.
If you feel summer camp is out of reach for your son due to financial
restrictions, there are scouterships available within the Troop
as well as at the Council level that you can apply for to offset
the overall cost. Contact the Committee Chair or myself if this
is an option you would like to pursue. Any discussions pertaining
to financial help will be kept confidential.
No scout should ever NOT experience summer camp simply because
they don’Äôt have the money to pay for it.
