OK! Everyone got the Merit Badges they wanted for summer camp so we can check that one off the list. Here are the next things to work on:
– The final payment for summer camp is due at the 28 April meeting. For most, that amount is $137.50.
– Next work on getting your scout physical squared away. You can find the form link at the top of the page by clicking on Summer Camp 2015 then click on Health Form then Annual BSA Health and Medical Record, Parts A, B, and C. If we are lucky, the links in this email will work but if not you know how to find the form. You, as the parent will fill out part A and B, the doctor fills out part C.
