Parent Information
PARENTS: It is strongly recommended that parents DO NOT VISIT during the week but plan on coming up on Saturday (as noted above). During the week Scouts need to be focused on scout activities. They will be allowed to call home, if needed, but will only be given 5 minutes to talk (any longer may create a problem if the scout is slightly homesick). Thank you for following this request.
NEW SCOUTS: Will be in the Trailblazer Program which is designed to teach many of the Under First Class skills needed. They will also earn the First Aid Merit Badge (Eagle required).
PHYSICALS: We understand the issues with insurance companies
HOWEVER A NEW PHYSICAL MUST BE TURNED IN BY JUNE
