Here’s a few last minute things for the campout this weekend. Don’t forget your Class A uniform!
We’re dropping off and picking up at nearby Camp Johnson. Directions and a camp map can be found here:
We’re camping in the Cub Area/Wick’s Pavillion up the hill to the left of the lake from the parking lot. We’re having the COH and dinner near the cabin to the right of the parking lot.
Dress in layers as it will be cooler at night and warm to hot during the day. Bring rain gear for Sunday.
Bring your own mess kit! Water bottle, and snacks you might want, your Scout book, something to write on and write with. Toiletries flash light/lantern/head lamp.
You can also check on The Scout Basic Essentials in your Scout book.
You’ll need a permission slip unless your parent is staying the entire trip.
Don’t forget your patrol food assignments. Check with your Patrol chat if you’re not sure.
Bring a camp chair or folding chair for everyone if you can, and don’t forget your Class A uniform!
The scouts had an excellent meeting tonight planning their patrol menus and organizing patrol equipment to get ready for the upcoming campout this weekend. Here is some important information from tonight's meeting:
- More detailed information about the campout will be released on the WhatsApp group on Thursday, so stay tuned for that. For menus, scouts are responsible for purchasing their assigned foods for their patrol meals. For the foods being made for the family dinner on Saturday night, the troop will purchase all the food needed, so scouts do not need to purchase any of that.
- For scouts and adults that are camping out from Friday night, we will be meeting at the campsite near Bolton between 5:30PM and 6:00PM.
- Families that are coming to the Family Dinner and Court of Honor, please join us at around 4:00PM, which is when our events will begin.
- Again, more information about addresses, directions, and other details will be given soon.
- We hope to see everyone this weekend!
The Troop will be buying ingredients for dinner, and desserts (Except for the Creme Brulee, which Ishaan will bring).
The Patrols have food assignments for their Saturday breakfast, lunch, and Sunday breakfast, which they will bring. If anyone did not see those, please check with your Patrols chat.
We're planning on attendance of about 65, including Scouts.
Stay tuned for an updated note with directions, a packing list, and permission slip.
If you didn’t receive the invite, and want to be added to our “Leaders” email distribution list, please let us know! There is a Committee Meeting for adult volunteers Thursday. We need your help, and would love you to join us!
And if you haven’t RSVP-ed for the Campout and COH for this weekend, please do so before 8 PM tonight so we can send out our final numbers.
Please respond at the link as soon as possible, and let us know how many people are attending the campout and Court of Honor. We need our numbers for camping and for shopping for food.
Please join us at our first campout at Camp Johnson in Bolton on 9/11/2026 - 9/13!
We will be having families over for dinner on Saturday night followed by our fall Court of Honor where our Scouts will be awarded ranks and merit badges earned since our spring COH. Don't miss this!
Please let us know which days Scouts will be camping, and we still could use another adult leader camping as well. Let us know how many total will be coming for our menu planning.
The scouts had an excellent first meeting of the new school year tonight, where the scouts worked on creating menus from an upcoming camp out this month. Here are some announcements and important information from the meeting.
We are having a camp out coming up from September 11th to September 13th at Camp Johnson. On September 12th in the evening on the camp out, we invite families to come down for a troop and family cookout, where scouts will prepare a full course meal for all attendees. We are also having a patrol competition during the camp out, in which scouts will prepare desserts that will be critiqued by judges and will be served during the cookout. A SignUp Genius will be sent out soon to measure interest for the camp out. Scouts, if you are interested in coming to this camp out, make sure you fill out the form when it comes out. There will also be a Court of Honor on September 12th after the cookout. We hope you can all attend the camp out, and if that is not possible, we hope to see you at the Court of Honor!
This month's theme is going to be cooking! The activities, camp outs, and general meetings this month are all going to reflect cooking principles that are important in scouting, with the main one being our cookout and the dessert cooking challenge during the camping trip.
Sam is in the process of completing his eagle project for the eagle rank, and he needs the help of some scouts. He is planning on having a work day for his project to be September 19th. More information about that will be sent out soon.
There are a couple Board of Reviews scheduled in the upcoming weeks before the Court of Honor. If you are scheduled to take a Board of Review in an upcoming meeting, make sure you are prepared for the Board of Review (wear Class A, bring a scout book, etc.)
Ms. K, our troop advancement coordinator, sent an email with a list of all the the advancements she has from the last couple months that will be recognized at the upcoming Court of Honor on September 12th. Please check that email to make sure any and all advancements you have earned that you expect to be recognized during the Court of Honor are recorded. If an advancement you have achieved is not listed, please email Ms. K by Friday 9/4 and let her know about that advancement.
