Cole Canoe Base, Summer Camp July 20-26, 2014

Summer camp is one month away!  Are you prepared (or is your scout prepared)? Your scout should have completed his physical for camp, he should be working on the prerequisites for the merit badges that he selected, and he should be thinking about what to pack for camp so he has everything he needs.  Don't wait until the last minute!



We will leave on Sunday, July 20th.  Time to be announced. We will return on Saturday, July 26.
We are taking 21 scouts and 4 adults.  We will most likely need driver(s) to take boys to camp and pick them up from camp. 

Is it your scouts first year at camp?  Wonder what he'll be doing?  First Year Camper Schedule:
