Troop 167- Macedon/Gananda, NY

Celebrating 43 years of service to our local community.

Meeting place:   Walworth Baptist Community Center, 3697 Walworth Palmyra Rd, Walworth NY

Troop 167 Summer Camp Information

All the scouts in our troop are strongly encouraged to attend at least one summer camp.

Not only is it fun, but scouts will earn Merit Badges, bond with their fellow scouts, and younger scouts get a good jump on compleating their requirements toward First Class. We need you to sign up as soon as possible. We need a rough headcount now, so the summer camp staff can plan accordingly!

Camp Discounts:

$25 Brother Discount, each scout
$25 Scout attending a second week of camp in Council (Babcock Hovey, Massawepie, NYLT)

If financial aid is needed, council does have campership money available to pay typically half of the camp fee. See your Scoutmaster or Committee Chair for more information, or contact Council directly. Council would like all applications in by April 16th.

Camp Babcock-Hovey
July 14-19
Cost: $320 (includes camp T-shirt, and food for one meal cooked in the campsite)

This is an ideal summer camp for younger scouts, featuring a dining hall for meals, merit badge sessions in the morning and a Tenderfoot to First class program in the afternoon. There will also be the opportunity to earn the Toten' Chip or Fireman's Chit, as well as one of a few additional merit badges as well. Order scouts are also welcome, and will be able to plan their own afternoon program.

Note: The price will go up by $25 on May 21st.

Sabattis is located in the heart of the Adirondack Park in Long Lake, New York. The camp consists of 1,250 acres with a 200 acre crystal clear lake with multiple islands surrounded by wilderness. Sabattis is a patrol cooking resident camp and an Adirondack Trek Adventure Base.

2. Adventure Patrol where you will be out on the trail for multiple days in some form of canoeing, biking, hiking, etc. No possibility of merit badge work.

Gettysburg, PA Campout
When: August 12-18th
Cost: Around $300 per scout, based on 15-20 scouts attending

We expect it will actually cost a less, and depends somewhat on how many scouts go, cost of gas, and whether we can get some additional group discounts. For the moment, it's a good target. Note that this cost covers the cost of tickets for scouts (but not adults) for all activities planned.

For planning purposes, we ask that all scouts that want to go register on-line below and a deposit check of $100 (or campership payment) will be due on March 11, 2013 to reserve your spot.
