Summer camp payments, merit badge selections, and more

Message:

Thanks to those that have made their first payment for summer camp and have their merit badge selections in. So far, everyone has what asked for (other than a substitution of kayaking for canoe MB due to age requirements).

Due by April 29th is the remainder of camp fees of $279 (totaling $399). Families with more than one scout have a sibling discount of $35 each after the first scout.
Adults are $190 also due by April 29th.
Payments to camp after the deadline will have a $50 late fee. This doesn't apply to new scouts this year or crossovers.
Scouts added now or after May 1st may have additional/late fees

Merit Badge Prereqs: https://scoutingevent.com/Download/272150229/OR/2025_CCB_Merit_Badge_PreRequisites.pdf

Everyone going to camp needs the scout medical form parts A, B, and C completed.

Part C must be completed at a doctor's office. A sport physical visit usually works for getting part C completed.
Provide 2 copies of all forms to Candice Hope

Adults coming to camp must have Michigan Central Registry clearance using the following form:

https://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/ bchs-camps_001_request_for_central_registry_ clearance_4_21_21_723669_7.pdf

We need a volunteer to be Summer Camp Coordinator to collect and organize BSA medical paperwork among other paperwork as well as track and organize the Troop's payments for camp

DATE CHANGE Summer camp is Sunday, July 27th to Saturday Aug 2nd, 2025.

First payments from the troop are due to the camp on Feb 1, 2025 (see below).

Also, the troop needs someone to step up and be the camping committee chair, at least for summer camp. This person gets all the medical paperwork together and tracks everyone's payments.

This is a Michigan Council camp, so campership assistance from council is available to offset camp fees for those families that can use some help. (https://michiganscouting.org/camping/camperships/ )
