Correction: Boston refund is $25 per person

Important end of scout year information: Hello Troop 349 families, Please note these updates about troop upcoming activities: Yawgoog Summer Camp: This year for summer camp, rather than bringing us copies of medical forms, Yawgoog is participating in an online system called CampDoc where you upload the necessary information. As admins, we can see the status of everyone’s submissions. The email to register comes from “Narragansett Council, BSA via CampDoc ” If you did not receive this email, please let us know asap. We were just informed that there were issues with the system. Those who were already uploading documents need to check if any data was lost. Here are some details needed to complete the Camp Docs forms: We are from Suffolk County Council #404. Your Scout’s BSA ID is found in Scoutbook. For Authorized Adults use: James Lasher, 631-764-6303, 27 Garvey Drive, Hauppauge, NY 11788. For additional adults, use Tom Keenan, 631-672-9707 and Mike Wichtendahl, 631-484-7343. For Scouts 14-17, Yawgoog is offering an opportunity to learn to ride ATV’s again this summer. This takes the place of a merit badge class for the week, but this is not a merit badge. It is offered as a lottery, and chosen scouts will pay 50 dollars for the class if selected. Sign up or learn more on their website now, rmd.me/bj.DciE2GaV The deadline is Saturday, May 20. Yawgoog payments: Final payments for summer camp are due on May 24. Contact Mr. Lasher or Mrs. Weisberg for your balance. Credits to Boston Trip Participants: To all families who attended the Boston Historical Trip, we are crediting your Scout Account 20 dollars per person to use for summer camp or a future campout. We were able to get better pricing than planned for some of our activities. June Whitewater Campout: The cycling part of the weekend was cancelled by the organization this year due to construction on the trail. For those who already paid, we will credit everyone 40 dollars to their scout account. For those who didn’t, final payments are due Wednesday May 17 —Revised cost: 95 per person, 75 for adult leaders who are helping transport scouts.

From Mr. Ryder to his merit badge participants: Hello Troop 349! I would like to remind the affected scouts about some updates for tomorrow night (scouts were told at last week’s meeting)
Personal Management – if your started this badge with me in March we will have a quick review tomorrow. Please bring your worksheets so we can see progress towards your goals. We plan to finish this badge at the May 24 troop meeting.
Bird Study – please bring any needed bird houses, etc. that you would like me to check. Assistant Scoutmaster and merit badge counselor Branden Kelledy had a great time teaching this badge! 😊 I will be handing out Blue Cards for this badge tomorrow at the troop meeting.
If you have any questions feel free to call/text (516-965-3382) or email me. ([email protected])

Remaining campers will return before 3pm. See you there. Uhaul, Bellemeade Ave, Smithtown.

Camporee families, we are having an interesting day. We plan to leave late this afternoon/early evening and will update you when we have a plan.

Camporee folks, See you there at Southhaven or across from u-haul at 5:45. Wear boots for the mud. Bring some $ for snacks and trading post. Sleeping bags, refillable water bottles, cards/games and extra scout spirit.

Camporee Campers FRIDAY: We will meet at the usual location across from the U-Haul at 5:45 and leave for Southaven County Park at 6pm. We don’t have enough adults going to transport the boys, so if anyone is able to drive some boys, that would be a big help! If you are driving directly there and not meeting us, please let me know via text on Friday. 631-764-6303. If you need to meet us Saturday morning, also let me know on Friday. Gates open on Saturday at 7:30, breakfast is 7:30, activities start at 9.
Have dinner at home before going on Friday, or bring something that doesn’t need to be cooked. There will be some food available for purchase. Food is provided for all meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.
There will be plenty of liquid sunshine this weekend. Raincoats are a must, and if you have rain pants or other clothing to help keep your legs dry, that would be smart. This event is rain or shine and we’re outdoors all day. Bring a towel and warm dry clothes to change into. Bring Class A uniforms for Saturday under those raincoats!
We should be ready to leave Sunday by 10am. Again we need help getting back to Smithtown. Keep in touch if you’re able to assist with driving on Sunday. Let’s go have some fun!

Trampoline jumpers, please check in and pay Mr. Lasher upon arrival. I’m on the way!
