Important notes

  • Scouts need to wear full Class A uniform traveling to & from Wolfeboro (in fact, any scout event).
  • There is a maximum of two scouts per tent.
  • Scouts carry their backpacks on the 2 mile hike from the parking area down into and back out of Wolfeboro. There is a truck that can carry heavier items. It is essential that everything is labeled with the scout’s name and troop number (T24).
  • Meet at the church parking lot at 6:45am on Sunday (June 19 or June 26, as appropriate), in order to depart at 7am. Bring lunch.
  • Adults attending Wolfeboro need to take the 30 min. online youth protection training (YPT). You need to register and sign in here. Send a copy of the certificate (PDF or hardcopy) to Dave or Ying-Tsu, and bring a hardcopy to Wolfeboro.
  • See Ying-Tsu’s email for more detail.

Merit Badges

(Copied from Ying-Tsu’s email.) You may be wondering what goes on at camp and why there are so many merit badges to choose from and which ones to choose. Here is some advice from an older scout:

  • If your scout does not have their first class yet, they should sign up for tenderfoot, second and or first class (you may have heard Dave use this term – Trailhead) and an easy merit badge.
  • Scouts can choose up to 6 merit badges. But be mindful of prerequisites (under the merit badge requirements tab in the registration website) and cost. My older scout generally chooses 3-4. Some merit badges require time for essay writing or making things.
  • There are other activities scouts can do, like archery, shooting, swimming, sitting around the camp fire or just building scout camaraderie. In the evening, there are camp fires, debates to attend, etc.
