Troop 624 will soon be going on our annual week-long troop camp to Sinoquipe Scout Reservation. This is always a terrific event! We will be leaving from the St. Ann parking lot early on Sunday, June 30, and will be returning on Saturday, July 6.
While at Sinoquipe, campers will have the opportunity to work on rank advancement as well as merit badges. The available merit badges are in the Sinoquipe Merit Badge Schedule or in more detail in the Sinoquipe Leaders Guide. If you have not given your desired merit badge schedule to Mr. Knight, please do so ASAP.
Every scout must have an annual physical before Sinoquipe. Please use the BSA Scout Health Form. Fill out the relevant pages and take the rest to your doctor. The completed form should be given to Mary Green before our departure date, or given to her the morning of June 30.
Each scout must also have a completed Permission and Treatment form. Please bring this form, along with any medications that need to be administered at camp, the morning of June 30.
Scouts must also read, sign, and return the Troop 624 Code of Conduct. This ensures that scouts understand the behavioral expectations while we are at Sinoquipe.
Parents and scouts should spend some time reviewing the Sinoquipe Leaders Guide. Please pay particular attention to these pages:
pg. 17 – personal gear – what to bring
pg. 18 – what not to bring + no playing cards or cell phones
pg. 20 – medical form requirements – no form, no camping
pg. 27 – no hazing or initiation or bullying – also a T624 policy – violators will be sent home immediately
pg. 32 – 44 – Review MB difficulties
pg. 55 – 56 – Review MB prerequisites
pg. 45 – 46 – MB class schedule
The week at Sinoquipe is always a productive and fun experience for all Troop 624 scouts! We are all looking forward to this wonderful event!
