Information - Summer Camp at Rodney Posted 5/17/12

We will be leaving for Rodney on Sunday June 24 at 10:00 am from Bob's House.  Please arrive prior to 10:00 so that we can get gear loaded.  We will be returning to Bob's House on Saturday June 30 around 1:00 pm. To get Bob's address, please contact a leader.

Scouts should travel down to camp wearing their Class B uniforms.

All Scouts must turn in a completed physical by June 6.  Any Scout who does not turn in a physical will not be able to go to Rodney.

Scouts should pack for Rodney using a backpack or duffel bag.  Standard camping gear should be brought along (ie. sleeping bag, changes of clothing, etc).  Below are additional items that you don't want to forget about:

  • Container of Powdered Drink Mix (No Gatorade)
  • Snacks packed in a tin can
  • Spending money (about $20-50)
  • Old shoes to wear in the Bay
  • Insect Repelent (no aerosol cans)
  • Eating Utensils
  • Water Bottle
  • Towel and Bathing Suit
  • Full Class A Uniform
  • Black Troop Hat
  • Mosquito Net (get from Scout Room)
  • Prescription medicines (if you need them)

 Notes on the above:

Scouts should get a Mosquito net from the Scout Room prior to the 24th, and pack it in with their gear. 

Prescription medicines should be given to Bob on the 24th prior to departure for camp.  Medicines will be locked up and distributed by the leaders at appropriate times during the week. 

Pack your Class A uniform at the top of your bag, you will need this shortly after arriving at camp. 

The shoes you wear in the Bay must be solid closed-toe shoes.  No crocks, open-toed shoes, or Aquasocks.

If scouts bring along money, cell phones, or electronic devices, they should not take them to the sailing base.  It is likely that they will be stolen.

Scouts should not bring along handheld gaming devices, card games and board games are allowed.

Only the black troop hat may be worn during the week. 

Additional Information:

If you need to contact your son at some point during the week, please call Bob directly.  It will be quicker than calling Rodney.  To get Bob's phone number, please contact a leader.

Scouts must use the Buddy System at all times while at camp.

If you do not take the swimming test with the troop this night, you will have to make arrangements to take the test the day we arrive at Camp Rodney.
