From ScoutMaster Obernesser:

Opening Cedarlands for a week of resident summer camp August 3-9 was based on having 150 Boy Scouts signed up by April 15. This is the minimum number that the Executive Board required to have in order to open. Back in the fall, several troops committed to going to CSR for the week and turned in their estimate of scouts attending. It appeared that we had more than enough scouts and proceeded with the planning necessary to open a camp. Several troops have since backed out and /or have few attendees. As of last night there were only 107 scouts signed up. A decision has been made not to run a resident camp this year. This leaves us with somewhat of a dilemma as we have signed up 28 scouts to attend the week of August 3.

Our option is to go to Camp Russell, (as we have done for the past 2 years), and use Cedarlands as an outpost high adventure for the older scouts. The 1st and 4th week at Russell have vacancies. Weeks 2 and 3 are full. I am not available week 1. At this point I would like to sign the troop up for week 4 which is July 28 –August 2. I need to hear back from everyone who has paid their $50 deposit.

Can you go the week of July 28? Leaders who have requested vacation, can you switch dates?

Let me know ASAP.
