Hi everyone! Hope you’re enjoying your summer.
An email was sent to those attending camp. But here’s what was said in case you didn’t get it:
Scouts and Parents,
Camp Squanto 2022 is just a few days away. Here is what you need to know:
General info:
- The theme this year is Pirates so if you have any costumes or supplies to decorate our site, just bring them along.
- We are at the Sioux site. Look for the sign as you enter the parking lot on the right side.
- Drop off is at 1:45. They ask that you park your car in one of the spaces and carry your luggage over to the Sioux sign.
- Closing ceremony on Saturday is at 9:45 am and parents are invited to attend. Pick up is at 10:15 am.
- Open-toed shoes cannot be worn at camp by scouts during the week or parents during drop off/pick up.
- It is best to wear your swim suit on Sunday since you will be going directly to the waterfront for a swim test after check-in.
- There is no parents' visit day this year. The relay race will be held on Thursday and it will be live-streamed on Facebook.
- Be sure to bring your water bottle, sunscreen and bug spray.
- Remember to bring your Class A shirt since you must wear it to colors and dinner every day.
Meds:
- As we did last year, we can dispense meds from our campsite. However, a parent must stay and go through the meds check-in on Sunday afternoon and authorize this. There will be a lock box to keep the meds secure.
- If you do not want meds dispensed from the campsite, the Squanto medical staff will be happy to do it at the health lodge.
- Epipens and inhalers should be kept with the scout to ensure prompt application if necessary.
- Medical forms must be submitted through CampDocs this year. You will get an email from Mayflower Council with the link to CampDocs. I had to change my password to get in. Before you login scan your health insurance card, page B2 and page C of the medical form. Page B2 can be used as the immunization record. If you do not have access to a scanner you can take a picture with your phone and email it to your computer.
- Everyone will get a Covid Prescreening email by the end of the week. This must be filled out online before your scout can arrive at camp on Sunday.
- Over the counter meds must be in the original bottle, but do not have to be unopened like last year.
Directions and contact info:
- The best way to get to camp: enter Headquarters for Myles Standish State Forest into your GPS.
- Take a left on Lower College Pond Road when you get to Headquarters and then your first right on Half Pond Road.
- Then follow the small signs to Camp Squanto. It will take at least 10 minutes to get there after you arrive at Headquarters.
Anyone needing to contact their scout during camp should refer to the following:
a) Mail: “Scout Name”, Troop 20, Sioux
c/o Camp Squanto
PO Box 931
S. Carver, MA 02366
b) Phone: (508) 224-2010 (Camp Office)
It is going to be a great week. See you on Sunday
