Attached are 5 files with info regarding summer camp which begins July-17 at 2 PM at Henderson Scout Reservation:

• MB Prerequisites shows requirements which need to be done prior to camp in order to complete the badge
• Medicines describes how all medicines should arrive with your scout. Please place them all in a zip lock bag with your name and Troop 4 on it
• Fri BBQ is info on the closing BBQ should members of your family like to attend
• Camp Arrival is self-explanatory
• Driving directions from New Hartford to Camp Henderson, which takes about 90 minutes Driving directions to camp Henderson

As a reminder, if you have not already done so, I need your updated medicals signed by your Physician and Parent. Make sure that all 3 parts have been filled in. Also needed is the form sent to you a month or more ago regarding OTC medications and sunscreen.

I recommend having a small bottle of bug repellent with DEET in liquid form. No Aerosols!

From Scoutmaster Obernesser:
Please let me know if you would like to march in the Honor America Days in Rome on July 30.

MORE INFORMATION:
Last fall while putting the Camporee at Ft Stanwix together, we were asked to provide a color guard for the Lake Delta Kiwanis at the Honor America Days parade. This is scheduled for July 30 at 9:30 AM. The theme is Ft. Stanwix 110 Ann. of the Nat. Parks system and the first place the ‘Stars and Stripes’ were flown in battle against a foreign advocacy. Scouts are asked to bring their colors and meet on the south end of Franklin Field, which is located on the west side of Black River Boulevard about a ½ mile north of Ft. Stanwix. This would be a great community exposure for Scouts. Can we get something out to units on this??

From Scoutmaster Obernesser:

This morning I met with Art Simmons, the Director of the Rome Historic Society. He has a project in mind for a potential Eagle Project. It includes work at the Lower Landing on Martin St. in Rome. (If you were at the fall camporee at Ft. Stanwix, you may remember the place we cleared trees and brush. That is the Lower Landing.) The project includes filling in an old privy pit to preserve it and to build a couple of picnic tables. If you are interested, please contact me.

There is also a possible Eagle project at the Fort, building picnic tables. The Park Superintendent Frank Barrows spoke to me about this last fall. Again, if interested contact me.

All you will need is 5 Boy Scouts (and a change of clothes). Raincoats and helmets/goggles are optional. From 2 different directions 2 teams will spray water at a ball on a wire trying to move it to the other end.
