Hello Troop 349!
Reminder- tonight the meeting will be held in the Old Gym at Smithtown High School East!

Hello Troop 349! @everyone

Please make sure to do it soon, the hotel is booking up quickly!

Hello Troop 349!
We are ready to start the registration process for our annual pilgrimage to Yawgoog Scout Reservation in Rockville, RI!
And, we have some really good news! Our Troop 349 Scouts did such a great job this year with fundraising that we are able to waive the $235 troop fees this year. This is especially good news since Yawgoog raised their summer camp fee for 2025 to $625. Waiving the troop fees highlights the good work the Scouts have done and the importance of rewarding good work.
Next Steps: Please sign up your Scout using [this link]( rmd.me/W5.PWmWk4qN) and submit your email address for me to send you a Scout specific registration code. If you registered your Scout last year, please use the email address you used previously as the application will recall your information from previous years.
I will then send you an email with a QR code you will use to log into the application to pay Yawgoog Scout Camp, register your Scout in merit badge classes, and can apply for Campership if you decide to apply for one. I will also include some additional information to help you and your scout with merit badge selection and learn about the new specialty badges this year.
Make sure you check out all the great information at [the Yawgoog Scout Reservation website]( rmd.me/oU.9Jl1Cwdw). For information about the 2025 merit badge program: [ rmd.me/rg.Ztd1vrAO]

Hello Troop 349!
It is going to get busy with communication over the next few weeks, we have a lot to plan for! Keep an eye on the Troop Facebook page and the Remind app for upcoming campouts, year end Court of Honor, and Yawgoog summer camp information!
Please make sure to sign up for the Washington DC historical trip. We already have 30 people signed up which is about half of the bus.
We are in the planning stages for Yawgoog summer camp. Our annual tradition will take place July 13-19. Last year the total fees were $775. Yawgoog has a slight increase this year and we are looking into ways to keep the total fees close to the same amount as last year.
Please confirm your commitment for summer camp by submitting a $50 deposit. You can pay at an upcoming Troop meeting or Venmo Mrs. Weisberg @BSA349Smithtown.
