Last minute reminders, from the Scoutmaster:
- Check the camper check list:
- See this post to confirm Mr B has all forms (medical, insurance, swimming), and to confirm merit badges you've signed up for
- Please arrive in the Ockanickon parking lot by 1:30pm. (Detailed directions are available.)
- FYI we will be staying in Seneca this year (same as last year)
- Please use square storage containers to keep clean clothes in one, and dirty clothes in the other, with both containers the same size so one can fit into the other.
- If available, consider using containers that fit under your bunk.
- Clothing to bring:
- Bring your Class A uniforms with proper shorts – no gym shorts or shorts with Hawaiian flowers on them
- Bring your Class B shirts
- Bring a baseball cap (or other hat for sun protection)
- Gear to bring:
- Bring rope for a clothesline – dry wet clothes and hang up their sleeping bag to air it out during the week
- Bring your toiletries – stinky scouts and tents that smell like onion patches are not allowed – recommend brining baby powder to stay dry on really hot days
- Bring sunscreen, bug spray, wolverine repellent
- Bring mosquito nets, portable battery operated fans, and anything else that will keep you comfortable
- Bring a canteen – scouts need to stay hydrated
- Bring a large umbrella along with a poncho as your rain gear – I recommend an umbrella vs. wearing a piece of plastic in hot and humid conditions
- I encourage the scouts to bring board games – no magic cards
- I encourage the scouts to bring a baseball mitt, football, Frisbee, etc. where we can use one of the open fields for some friendly athletic competition
- Program-related stuff to bring:
- Bring all of you pre-reqs for your merit badges – if they are not completed, I will not allow the scout to take the merit badge
- Bring your Totin' Chip card – you can’t use or possess a knife without one; you must present card if you are taking the Woodcarving merit badge
- Bring money for the Cantina – buy craft kits for merit badges and some money for snacks – I will not be a bank this year
- Bring money if you need to buy material for your merit badges. (Examples: material for woodworking, leather working, basketweaving; ammo for Rifle and Shotgun merit badges)
- Do NOT bring:
- Electronic devices are to remain at home – no exceptions – If I see one, I will take it and hold on to it until Saturday
