Summer Camp
Summer Camp 2013 August 4 - August 9, 2013 Camp Resolute in Bolton, Massachusetts.
We hope your son is excited to attend the Troop's Summer Camp this year. As you know, we will be attending summer camp at Camp Resolute in Bolton, MA from Sunday August 4th to Friday August 9th. We strongly encourage scouts of all ages (both new and the more seasoned scouts) to attend. This is a great time for scouts to relax and have fun while spending the week with their friends swimming, joking around the camp fire and working on merit badges and their rank advancement. Eagle Scouts from the troop often reflect on their best memories of scouting being at summer camp. Please don't miss out on this great adventure of a lifetime.
Summer Camp Instructions:
-
Camp Sign-Up - Sign-up for Camp online. The Summer Camp Information Sheet provides more info.
-
"Additional Bonus" - As an extra incentive for our troop, Camp Resolute said that they will provide each scout who attends camp, with a $50 gift card (only valid at the camp). To receive this bonus however, the troop must register at least 20 scouts for camp by the early bird deadline. The troop expects to have in excess of 30 scouts at camp this year, but we need your help to meet this goal.
-
Camp Merit Badges - A merit badge schedule is provided on the Summer Camp Information Sheet . Please spend some time reviewing the pre-requisites for each badge. The camp also provides some recommendation on what might be appropriate for first, second, and third year scouts.
-
Merit Badge Selections - When a scout is ready to pick out some merit badges, print out the merit badge selection page from the PDF and highlight their choice. They can turn that into the Advancement Coordinator at any time. Sometime in late May or early June, we will have a summer camp meeting to help select merit badges and sync the scouts books with our data.
Please reserve the date on your summer calendars. For more
details, check out our Summer Camp Handout.
Upcoming Events
National Jamnoree 7/15 - 7/24. It's going to be big. It's going to be wild. Imagine 50,000 Scouts, Venturers, volunteers, and staff from all over the country, all gathered together for one big celebration of Scouting. Held once every four years, the national jamboree is a chance to camp out with friends, meet new friends, try high-adventure activities, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors. Over 10 days, there are exhibits, stadium shows with entertainment, opportunities to work on merit badges — there's something for everybody. For additional details, go to www.bsajamboree.org.
Summer Camp Whether you enjoy paddling a canoe across a crystal-clear pond, listening to bugle sounds as Old Glory climbs to the top of the flagpole, reelin’ in a bass, a bulls-eye at the archery range, a delicious dutch oven dessert, stretching for the next rock on the climbing wall, soaring spirits around the campfire, or a leisurely stroll along our hiking trails, Camp Resolute has something for you. This picturesque 325 acre property has become one of America’s premier Scout Camps. A unforgettable experience awaits you. Summer camp is an essential part of the Scouting program and the Troop Leadership strongly encourages all scouts to attend. Please reserve the date on your summer calendars. For more details, check out our Summer Camp Handout. Sign up now!

Baden-Powell thought for the day: It is risky to order a boy not to do something; it immediately opens to him the adventure of doing it.
