Sunday, Sunday, Sunday is the day we leave. We ask all scouts that are going to arrive to the scout house by 7:45 am, plan to be on the road by 8. It is required to wear class A shirts while we are traveling to and from camp (pack a hanger to hang your class A in the tent). Neckerchief and slide are not required. The weather looks to be nice with a chance of rain during the week. Tupper Lake is the closest town if you want to look up what the weather will be like.
Scouts do need an allowance for camp and when we stop at Dairy Queen for lunch on the way there, Heids on the way home. There are a few merit badge classes, Basketry, Leatherwork, Space Exploration, Woodcarving, Animation that require scouts to purchase kits ranging from $3 to $20. Big Jakes is the place for snacks, slushies, etc. The kids love the bog water slushies and usually get the refillable bottle to use all week. The scout store has souvenirs, shirts, sweat shirts, etc. We usually recommend $50 to $100 for them to bring.
All food must be stored in the trailer so we are asking to bring a small tote, grocery paper bag size to store any snacks they might bring.
Do not forget any pictures/paperwork of any pre-reqs that have been done before camp. Some scouts are doing e-prep and here is a link of what the packing lists should look like, a picture of what you put together is all that is needed to show at camp. Click Here for Lists The e-prep drill we went over will be handed out at camp.
Scouts can bring cell phones but are only to be used at our campsite, we prefer limited use when in camp but they are good way to report home. They can bring the phones to the merit badge classes to show any pictures of pre-reqs, etc. Coverage works well if you have Verizon, others not so much.
Finally, you can mail cards, packages to camp. It takes about 3-4 days for mail to reach a Scout once it is mailed (so plan accordingly). Mail should be addressed in the following manner:
