Thursday, February 9, 2012 6:45 PM First United Methodist Church, Dothan | |
DATE CHANGE DUE TO STORM
The council-wide camp promotion roundtable provides pack, troop and crew leaders with vital 2012 camping information. New this year, we have added booths on a variety of council events and prize drawings! All this with a free pancake dinner.
During the breakout sessions you will be able to pre-register your Unit by reserving your Camp Patrol sites - still a bargain at $25 per site with each site containing 4 tents with a total capacity of 8 people. Be sure to bring your payment with you to confirm your reservation.
Also during the breakout sessions you will be instructed on the Council's on-line reservation system, Camp Master. We will go over how to navigate the site, register your Unit, and give you a step-by-step manual to guide you through the process.
Merit Badge registration will open on Camp Master on March 1 and you will be able to load your Summer Camp roster before then.
There's a lot of NEW at Summer Camp this year and you don't need to miss this event. For more information contact Christine Martin scoutingmartins@yahoo.com or Scott Carpenter scott.carpenter.bsa@gmail.com
