Greetings Scouts and Families of Troop 965!
We are still planning on going to summer camp at Camp Blackhawk (Go!) at the Owasippe Scout Reservation on Sunday, July 18 returning on Saturday, July 24.
At this time, we do not know about arrangements to get to camp due to Covid-19 restrictions. Each family may have to drive their own Scouts to and from camp. Approximately 3.5 to 4 hour drive. This may change as restrictions are lifted throughout the spring and summer.
As of now Pathway to Adventure Council is still planning on opening summer camp. There may be changes in the future, but this is the plan now.
At this point in time, 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 me know ASAP, so we can plan accordingly.
To that end, I need your input. I will register Scouts for the merit badges and outposts that they want while at summer camp.
I can start doing this at any time, so the sooner you reply, the better your chances are of getting what you want.
In the file below, there is a lot of information.
If your Scout has special dietary requirements, please let me know. There is a special form to fill out to accommodate them.
The sooner I 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.
And of course, we still need your completed health form by May 31st.
Please make the work sheets as legible as possible. These worksheets, one check for summer camp that includes any additional activity fees can be dropped off at my house. Please make sure your name and phone number are on the sheet in case there are any questions. I need this as soon as possible to get the best time slots.

In the file below, there is a lot of information.
- New to Owasippe explanation sheets
- Merit Badge schedule
- Merit badge fees and prerequisites (What they provide is pretty small. I suggest you view it on your computer and blow it up!)
- The Outpost schedule (programs that are different from merit badges)
- And finally, a worksheet to use to try and set your schedule

If summer camp could be a financial burden this year due to the uncertain nature of our economy, please don’t let it be a reason a Scout doesn’t go to camp. Please call me and we’ll see what we can work out. We want everyone who wants to go to camp to be able to go.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 773-218-9619.
