How Much: $190 by May 22, $210 by June 5, $210 by June 15

vacation schedules, PSR issues, etc.
We will have a "parent
meeting" night on May 8 at 7:30 where we go over what to
expect, how to prepare, "Family Night (Wednesday), and merit
badge selection. This will be a good time to pay the camp fees. The
parents will meet without the scouts in one of the classrooms while
the scouts are working on a merit badge. The scouts will then join
the parents meeting to hear the final bits of wisdom, see the
slideshow and have their questions answered. There will be plenty of
handouts and "gear" to review. The parent meeting is
optional if your scout has attended Summer Camp in the past.
Dates: 6/15 (between noon & 1pm) -
6/21 (9 am) Costs: $190 (early bird discount) per scout if paid to
Troop by 5/22 (or delivered to Akron Scout Center by 5/23) $210 per
scout if paid by 6/5 $230 up to arrival at camp.

Camp web site: www.gtcbsa.org/manatoc/index.html
Every little organizational detail is
available in the "Leader's Guide" www.gtcbsa.org/manatoc/summer_camp/files/2008_leaders.pdf
I found this on the Manatoc web site:
Summer Camp "First Year" Camper Open House - On Saturday
May 10th at 9am-12, Manatoc will host its first "First Year
Camper Open House". Beginning in the historic Dining Hall, this
event will allow Scouts and Parents an opportunity to see what a
normal campsite has, visit several of the program areas, their
Troops campsite to help them get oriented to the other areas of
camp.
Start making your plans for Summer
Camp! Here's how we'll do this:
| We'll have a parent/scout
information meeting on May 8. Check the "Getting
Started" page for a preview and some shopping
tips. Check the "Photos"
site for some ideas from past years. |
| You'll select your merit badges
and fill out your "Blue Cards" |
| Payment from your scout camping
account or by check payable to Troop 652: The cost,
listed below, covers the camp fee. Other expenses are
paid for from troop funds raised at the Brecksville HomeDays pop
sale - things like group photos, family night dinner, and the pizza party on Friday night.
$190 if paid by the May 22nd meeting,
$210 if paid after May 22 but before June 5,
$230 after June 5 |
| Camp begins at 12:00 noon on

Summer of 2008!
| Seabase High Adventure Trek 2008
edition
April '08 item:
We're going July 18th- 27th. We have two different crews
going out on to the water at different times, but we are all
flying down and back together. Whichever crew is biding their
time will be staying at a nearby State Park until the other crew
returns. More information will be sent out as the details are
decided.
Cost will probably be in the
$1100-$1200 range depending on transportation costs.
You must be 14 as of September 1, 2008 to attend.
We'll need 2 leaders per crew of 8. Crew 652 will
likely participate as well. This is one of the 3 BSA
High Adventure bases (the others are Northern Tier Canoe
Base and Phlimont Scout Ranch) which qualify participants
for the Triple Crown Award.
We're already collecting the 2nd payment.

May 16-18, Campout changed!
The river is too high to canoe at Mohican
Wilderness (Web Site) so we've changed the outing to go to
Punderson State Park.
They have a lake with row boats and
kayak's available for rent and a launch where you can put in
your own canoe, if you have one.
Travel arrangements, what to bring, etc.
are the same as for going to Mohican Wilnderness. We should
return to St. Basil's an hour earlier on Sunday - 10 am instead of
11 am because Punderson is closer than Mohican.
We have Group Site 2 in the
campground. See the "Area 2" map for Punderson
Campground (Click

It's Webelos Season!
Webelos from local packs will be
visiting our troop and other troops in January and February in
preparation for their decisions about moving from Cub Scouts to Boy
Scouts. Please make our visitors feel welcome.
We've already had our open house and
outdoor activities where we invited the Webelos but there are many
who missed those events but still need to finish their Arrow of
Light requirements and assess which troops they would prefer to
join. For Arrow of Light requirement visits: any of our meetings in
January or the Feb. 7 & 14 meetings would be good.
For the “Outdoor Oriented Activity”:
Jan. 24 (St. Basil), or Feb. 9 (Hinckley) would work. |
