2022 Summer Camp Gear List

Summer Camp 2022 is just around the corner. By now most Scouts have scheduled their merit badge classes for camp. Your Scout should have brought home a copy of their schedule.

Every month (once a month) the Troop will host a open house for select Merit Badges. Scouts a start, continue, complete these MBs during this time. Please look for calendar sign up for this. 

Troop 380 "class B" t-shirt and sweatshirt orders are due at the Monday, April 12th Troop meeting. A copy of the order form is attached, or can be found on the Troop website in Files, under Parent Information. A second order is planned for later this spring/summer.

Some parents have asked about camping equipment, particularly around high adventure. Equipment makes a pretty good holiday gift for your scouts. I’ve attached a Philmont gear list and description. It does a pretty good job of explaining what you might look for when making selections. In general, the lighter and smaller it is, the better it is for backpacking (though more expensive). I’ve invested in gear over the years with my older boys and I still use it for myself and current scout. Also, if it says “Coleman” on it, it likely is heavy and won’t last long on the trail but may be suitable for “car camping.” 

As we re-charter for 2020 (see the Welcome Message at the top of the announcements), we need adult help for a successful troop! Please take the SurveyMonkey survey at the link below to let us know how you might help the troop be successful. It takes a village, folks! Help us hit the ground running in 2020!
