ONE WEEK TIL SUMMER CAMP! Here's stuff you want to know! Medical Forms We need Medical Forms (AB&C) for every youth and adult going to camp and a copy of your health insurance card. Please come by the scouthut this Monday night during the meeting to verify that your medical forms are complete and in order (someone will be inside to help you). Remember Part C requires a physician exam. They are good for 1 year. Scouts without valid med forms will not be able to leave with us next Sunday. Medications If your scout must take medication while at camp, you will need to complete a Medication Dosing Form (https://www.campbertadams.org/files/21030/Prescription-Dosage-Form) and bring it to Drop-Off, along with your scouts medications in a labeled ziploc bag. Behavior Contracts At this Monday's troop meeting, we will be reviewing camp behavior expectations. In addition, each scout is asked to complete a Behavior Contract with a parent before each year's camp. Please be sure to turn one in at the troop meeting, or before departure next Sunday. Bringing Bikes If your scout is bringing a bike, they must have a helmet. We'd like to load all the bikes into the trailer to make it easier to get them to our campsite once we arrive at Bert Adams. If you can bring your bike to the hut this Monday, May 26th - preloading it will make things easier. Bikes are the responsibility of the scout. Like everything you bring to camp - it could get damaged or go missing. Biking at camp is considered a privilege which may be revoked for any rule violations. Uniforms Troop 465 has a proud tradition of being the best uniformed troop in attendance at Summer Camp. Please remember your scout pants/shorts, as well as socks, belt, cap, and all parts of a full Field Uniform. Scouts will be wearing their Field Uniform for flags and meals each day, so it is a good idea if they bring a clothespin or hanger to hang it up when not being worn. At other times, they may change into "Activity Uniform" (ClassB) which consists of replacing the tan uniform shirt with a Troop T-shirt. Extra troop shirts are available in the scout hut store. If you are interested in spare scout shorts, the scout shop in Atlanta carries uniform shorts that are also swim trunks. Departure & Travel We will be leaving the Scout Hut at 10am on Sunday June 1st. Please arrive by 9:30am. Upon arriving, scouts should take their gear to the Quartermaster by the trailer. Adults should proceed inside the scout hut to make sure all paperwork is complete. Parents should not leave until after everyone is checked in, is assigned to a vehicle and we have a group photo.If you are planning to help us drive to Bert Adams, please let me know ASAP. Letters from Home If you'd like to send letters for your scout to read during the week. You can label individual envelopes with the scouts name and the day of the week and put them into one larger manila envelope with the scouts name on it. I will hand out mail usually in the evening. Photos from Camp During camp - I do my best to post photos periodically in our Facebook group. You can find that here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bsatroop465 Camper Care Packages Bert
