Troop 160 Summer Camp at Goose Pond Scout Reservation will be here in no time. We’re expecting another terrific and fun-filled week. Please read the following carefully. Print and share with your parent’s so they can help complete all the requirements
There are a few things that you need to take care of very soon, so please take action.
Adult Responsible: Ms. Mary Ann Menditto
A new form is needed every year. Physician’s signature must be no earlier than July 2017.
We must have a current medical form for everyone attending camp, both Scouts and Adults. Medical forms must be signed by a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant. It must also be signed by parents or guardians. Once signed, make two copies. Both copies are due to Ms. Mary Ann Menditto as soon as possible. Please remember to attach a copy of both sides of your health insurance card (on a single sheet of paper please) to the end of your med form. The original should be kept by your parent’s for future reference. Final due date for medical forms is June 14th.
Prescription and non-prescription medication for scouts must be turned into the adult leadership upon arrival to camp. All medication must be in its original container and placed in a large zip lock bag with the Scout’s name on it. Please make sure medication dosages are clearly labeled. For scouts who need OTC medicine, please provide the medication in its original container and remember to provide us with the proper dosing.
Campers and adults who arrive at camp without a properly-completed medical form will be sent home after 24 hours. This policy is strictly enforced.
Adult Responsible: Mr. D’Elia
Review the Advancement schedule and pre-reqs for each Merit Badge and determine your choices. Your requests must be submitted to and approved by Mr. D’Elia. Make a list of the merit badges you want to earn at camp and review them with the Scoutmaster ASAP.
Download and print the attached form. Complete the form and bring it with a blank check to the May 3rd or May 10th Troop Meeting. Mr. Heaney will review the form, apply amounts from your Scout’s camp account, and let you know the remaining balance. At that time you will complete filling out the check.
