BSA Troop 191

Scouts, I just wanted to remind you that Summer Camp is coming VERY SOON. Remember that some of your badges may require pre-requisites. Here is the link to find the pre-reqs.

Click the Merit Badge you are taking, and if there are Pre-Reqs, or additional costs, it will be listed there.

Thanks

Summer Camp 2013 will be held between Sunday July 14^th - Saturday July 20^th, 2013 at Ockanickon Scout Reservation. The cost of camp is $349.00 if paid by February 23^rd. This year the troop is able to contribute $100.00 towards the payment of camp fees reducing the cost to $249.00 for each scout in Troop 191. The troop is able to provide this contribution due to the success of recent fundraising efforts and the genorosity of corporate donations.

Each scout must complete this form to indicate if he will be attending camp with the troop this year and how they wish to pay the remaining camp fee balance. Camp fees can be paid by scout account or check made payable to Troop 191.

The troop also provides shirts for each patrol attending camp. The above form allows parents to specifcy the shirt size desired for their son.

The form and payement if applicable will be collected at the weekly troop meeting.
