The Muscoot District Spring Camporee will be held this weekend. We will arrive at Clear Lake between 5:00pm and 6:00pm, and the Scouts will be hiking in to the registration point. All Scouts should have hiking boots with ankle support, and a frame pack that has been packed with the necessary equipment for the weekend. If you're not sure what to bring, please contact your patrol leader. All Scouts should bring their packed pack to Thursday meeting for inspection. We will depart KES on Friday, and return on Sunday morning.
Don't forget your registration for Camp Read. Just a reminder that Summer Camp fees are due. If you pay past 6/1, there is a 25$ penalty increasing the cost to $370. Adults are still $110 and if you are going, I need that too. Please give all checks to me made out to Westchester Putnam Council, BSA. Boys cannot be registered for merit badges until this is paid, and some badges close out soon. Your son was given a Parent’s Guide – this is crucial for you to read in order for your son to have the best possible time. The Council website is also a good source for information as well. We are leaving on Sunday 8/7 are returning on the following Saturday 8/13. So far, only 6 boys are registered, so please hurry. Also, the medical forms for both adults and boys is onerous, so please make sure this is completed in a timely way. Once registered, your son needs to give me his 4 merit badge choices. It will be a great week as usual!!
Register now for the Lehigh River Whitewater Rafting Trip! Only 15 participants registered for the 6/11 Rafting trip on the Lehigh River. I think anyone who went last year would say that this was a very worthwhile trip and the boys overwhelmingly wanted to do this again. The cost is $51 and please make out checks to me. Another 15 spots are open, so please sign up quick. We leave KES at 7:00 AM on Saturday 6/11 and return that evening. Bag lunches are to be brought by each Scout, and some pocket money is a good idea too.
