For those attending Summer Camp - Please arrive at camp between 12:15pm and 12:45pm. We will gather in the parade field (there should be a blue recycle bin with our Troop number to assemble at). Our Check-in time as a Troop is promptly at 1:00pm. Note that our first meal at camp will be dinner so eat lunch on your way to camp. The Camp address is 231 Ashford Center Road Ashford, CT 06278. Staff will help guide parents to parking areas. Scouts and leaders should bring their gear to our recycling bin rallying location in the parade field. Camp staff will help transport our gear to our site. Please label as much of your gear as possible with Name and Troop 1. Troop leaders will handle check-in and taking scouts to the medical tables to turn in medications. Scouts with medications should bring them in their original containers. Please keep them in a convenient location for check-in. For those bringing outstanding health forms, hand them to Matt Steinberg when you arrive.

Skills Night, Patterson Park   Attention all Star ranked Scouts:  MOVED TO MAY 19th

The annual Golden Ladle Cooking Competition will take place May 15-17 at the Hudson Valley Trust site. Scouts will be forming groups of no more than 4 and cooking 3 meals for judging (sign-up your team on Band).  Each scout should come to the planning meeting prepared with ideas/recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner to discuss with their group (no hamburgers or hotdogs.) At least one meal must be cooked over a campfire. See attached rules, same as last year. Cost is expected to be up to $25 per person.

If your scout plans to go to Summer Camp (August 2-7), payment in full is due before the May 1 deadline to avoid a $15 late fee. Contact Blaine Robinson to arrange for payment to the troop.
