Note 2022 Calendar:

Note our calendar has been posted. https://testing.t48.org/calendar-listings/2022-calendar-events-list/

Welcome back from Camp . Important information

Administration

Welcome Home from summer camp!!

We had a wonderful time with multiple scouts having   advancements, we have 109 merit badges that were completed this week at summer camp,  and 65 incompletes are captured that we will need to follow up with. 

( paperwork is being processed and we will follow up in two weeksnot this week as we have our kickball Game to give leadership the opportunity to recapture and evaluate needs )

We hope that you have enjoyed hearing stories of fun filled adventures and some amazing memories and great friendships that were made. 

Although camp is not without issues,  we ask you to please let us know if your scouts have any questions or concerns of any events at  camp that we can help with. Communication is important for us. 

We have some Lost items we hope that as scouts go through gear they will be located. Please check if your scouts packed up anything that may not be tiers as cabins can get a bit messy. 

We do want to share that we have had a report of Direct COVID exposure while at camp so if your scouts are running a temperature or have other COVID symptoms testing is recommended, a positive test should result in a 5 day quarantine drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. 

Hope everyone is getting caught up on rest anyway!! 

Have a wonderful day
