IMPORTANT SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION

GENERAL CHECK-IN:

Check-in starts at 1:00 PM for those Troops that are formed up and ready to go - so plan on being there by 12:30pm.  Be there a little early if you want to get a parking spot up close - otherwise you'll have to park out front in the field.

Wear Class B shirt (if you have one - new ones will be provided at check in) and your bathing suit to check in.  Also, have your towel as we will be going right to the swim test after the medical check in.

MEDICATION:

ANY medication that the scout needs must be listed on their medical form.  This includes any over the counter medication that needs to be taken at camp.

Prescription medication must be in the original bottle that has the prescription label on it.
