Summer Camp at Yawgoog Scout Reservation located in Rockville, Rhode Island, (southwestern Rhode Island). This year we have reserved one week:
Sunday, July 10-Sunday July 17, 2011. We will meet at the VFW on Sunday, July 10 at 12:00 pm for Check-In. Scouts need to be wearing full Class-A uniforms & have footlocker fully packed.
Full payment of $410.00 is due prior to April 11, 2011 regular meeting in order to receive 2 Troop t-shirts & Camp Yawgoog hat. Please RSVP early. See Treasurer, Mr. Elliot Weiss at any Monday night Troop meeting and make checks payable to Troop 93. Download the Summer Camp application
Troop 93 requires the new 2011 BSA medical form (the original and 2 copies), completely filled out and signed by parent & physician, for all Scouts & adult campers.
Since the Trading Post at Yawgoog sells pocketknives (and they are a popular item for new Scouts), we require a parent’s signature indicating Yes or No in order for your son to purchase a pocketknife at the Trading Post. This eliminates any confusion while we are away at Summer Camp. Summer Camp Permission slip (pdf file)
The Scoutmaster must approve merit badges & sign-off on any pre-requisites before attending Summer Camp. Download the 2011 Merit Badge Schedule, or visit the Yawgoog website at www.yawgoog.org for their complete list, merit badge workbooks, requirements &/or pre-requisites for each.
