BOY SCOUT / SPECIFIC NEWS -
Ani-Lati Chapter Campout
March 13-15 at Bovay
Camp-o-ree
April 24-26
Camp-o-ree is scheduled for Camp Brosig. Exciting activities are being planned. The patch looks cool. In order to be more fiscally responsible and defray some of the costs of running Council camps, Council started charging $2 per person for anyone spending the night at a Council owned camp. For this year’s Camporee, the $15 per boy registration will include this $2 camp usage fee. For adults, in order to insure two deep leadership, Camporee will absorb the $2 for two people only (Scoutmaster and one ASM). Any additional Assistant Scoutmasters, Committee members, additional parents or any other adults who plan on CAMPING with the Troop will need to pay $2 each to cover this additional expense. Day visitors will not be charged, only those spending the night.
