Forms required PRIOR to going to summer camp:

Troop 212 permission form
Current/valid BSA medical form (parts A, B, and C)
Camp consent form:

Food Allergies/Special Diets

Both camps can help with special dietary needs and concerns. The camps request that we alert them to any special needs by June 1. Please make sure all allergies (both food and non-food) are noted on the permission slip/consent form.

Scouts New to Summer Camp

Both camps offer programs specifically for a younger scout's first year at summer camp which your scout may participate. However, based on previous experience, if your scout attends Troop 212's Boot Camp and other opportunities prior to attending summer camp, he will have learned many of the skills these programs offer and likely will have more fun jumping right into earning merit badges.

Some merit badges for First Year Scouts:

swimming
basketry
leatherwork
fish and wildlife/mammal study
woodcarving
nature

We highly recommend the swimming merit badge. It is not only Eagle required but it is also a pre-requisite to several other merit badges and activities. Scoutcraft merit badges are also very hands on merit badges.

With any of the above you will have a lot of FUN.

If you have any questions about the first year programs please send your question to troop212camp@gmail.com. There will also be a New Parents Summer Camp meeting scheduled tentatively for the end of May, where we will go over in detail summer camp specifics and answer all your questions and concerns.
