Greetings Scouts and Families of Troop 965!

We are going to summer camp at Camp Blackhawk (Go!) at the Owasippe Scout Reservation on Sunday, July 17 returning on Saturday, July 23.

Currently, there are no Covid-related restrictions at camp. We will let you know if we hear anything to the contrary from the Pathway to Adventure Council.

The leaders for camp will be Wayne Gulliford, Kelly Albanito, Ralph Albanito, and John Pelrine. Parents of Scouts are encouraged to join us at Owasippe. It is an opportunity to bond with your Scout in a very memorable way.

We need anyone who is planning to go to summer camp to let us know ASAP, so we can plan accordingly.

To that end, we need your input. Mr. Stolarski will register Scouts for the merit badges and outposts that they want while at summer camp.

He can start registering Scouts at any time, so the sooner you reply, the better your chances are of getting what you want.

In the attached files, there is a lot of information.
  • Merit Badge schedule
  • Merit badge fees and prerequisites (What they provide is pretty small. we suggest you view it on your computer and blow it up!)
  • The High Adventure / Outpost schedule (programs that are different from merit badges)
  • A Horse Ride waiver form (a signed copy is required for all Scouts whether they will ride or not)
  • And finally, a worksheet to use to try and set your schedule

If your Scout has special dietary requirements, please let us know. There is a special form to fill out to accommodate them.

The sooner we can register our Scouts, the better. These courses can fill up quickly. Please choose a first pick and an alternate.

Your Troop Committee has set the cost for the week of summer camp at $380. This includes the fee imposed by Owasippe and additional money for incidentals such as pizza night, camp t-shirt, group photo, etc.

The adult fee for the week is $200.

Mr. Stolarski needs to have your Merit Badge selections and payments by May 2nd to get the Scouts registered! Checks made out to Troop 965.

And of course, we still need your completed health form by June 6th.
​
We will be discussing summer camp and answering your questions at the April 18 Troop meeting and Court of Honor.

In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
