2023 Summer Camp – Class Registration for Early Birds

Upcoming Events

, , ,

Is there a merit badge class at camp that you really would like to take, but fills up quickly… like Cooking*, Fishing, or Welding?  Class registration for 2023 Summer Camp at Camp Davy Crockett is opening very early – now starting October 1, 2022.  Grab desirable classes by first checking the one-page worksheet and/or the class catalogue and then letting Mr. Hasler know by email or in writing (with your name!).  You’ll be informed when your schedule is entered.

Payment for Summer Camp (June 18-24, 2023) will be posted later once better information is available – likely after the Recharter effort is done.  One reported change is that there will not be class fees, but the base camp fee was increased to save time adjusting these for every scout participant.
