Date: June 18-24, 2017 (Sunday – Saturday)
Location: Camp Cherry Valley
Cost: $650 + mandatory transportation cost
Important information: 

• California Rifle & Shotgun Permission Form (new)
• Notes from Summer Camp meeting held Tuesday night
• Parent Guide (extracted parts of Leader Guide for your review) – The food/medical special requests are on page 13. If you need to contact camp please include me and Harper on all correspondence to camp so I know what to expect and should be sent at least 2 weeks before we arrive.
• Merit Badge (MB) Classes – the 3rd page has the MB schedule which Mr. Chan went over during Troop meeting with the scouts. This MUST be turned in before the PLC on the May 30 before school is out (it can be emailed to me if you can’t make a meeting). Your son should put top three choices in the box with an “X” and then then put a “A” in a box as an alternate. Those who are First Class or close to First Class should have one or two Eagle Required MBs like First Aid, Emergency Prep, Environmental Science, Sustainability, Swimming, etc. MBs on page 4 are during open period and scouts can let me know at camp if they are doing those. Page 2 is very important as it talks about costs and prerequisites which are important if the scout wants to complete MB at camp. Lastly I will have partials from previous summer camps that can be completed during free time if that MB is offered.
• Medical Admin Form – This is only needed if your son is taking Rx Drugs at camp.
• Trail to First Class (TTFC) – those scouts that still have lots to complete for Tenderfoot/Second Class/First Class should chose these instead of MBs. Note that not all items are covered and different items are covered different days. If you only have a few left in a specific rank you can also take TTFC during open period (note that Tenderfoot covered Tuesday, Second Class Thursday and First Class Friday).
• Packing List – Note that it is important that the scouts have a full Class A uniform (including LONG Scout pants). This will be needed for an activity at camp.
• Menu – this is a typical menu at camp. Lots of carbs!
