The wind is whipping and the snow is flying so it's time to think about Summer Camp!!!

$100 Deposit due to the Troop by February 3rd to ensure your Scout's spot at camp!!!

Troop 167 will be headed to Beaumont Scout Reservation in Rock Creek, Ohio this summer from June 29th to July 4th.

Information about this camp can be found on their site here Beaumont Summer Camp This site includes a parent and Scout guide with a list of the over 120 merit badges this camp offers.  The site also shows last year's schedule so you can get a feel for how merit badges work - please check this out since it's different than what you might be used to - but will allow you to earn a lot more badges if you want.

There is a also a cool video that shows you the activities around camp including the zip line and leap of faith.

Early Bird Pricing - paid in full to the Troop before 4/7 - $463 (please note some merit badges have additional fees - check the parent and/or Leader guide for info)

Fee paid in full after 4/7 $483

Adult pricing $261 - want to go to camp for free - check the leader's guide if you can help teach merit badges you might be able to go for free!

Sign up now for our Winter Campout!  We'll be checking out another new place - Camp Weona in Gainsville, NY near Letchworth State Park.

Attendees will have the option to sleep inside in the heated lodge or brave the elements (and perhaps get a Camping MB requirement done by participating in a winter camping experience - provided mother nature doesn't decide to give us a warm weekend)

We hope to have fun in the snow, explore the nearby "activity barn", enjoy a Scout prepared feast and learn some new skills.

The PLC has decided they would like the Scouts to prepare a Saturday night dinner - each patrol will be given a budget and can decide how to use it to prepare food to be enjoyed by all attending. 

Sign -ups for this campout will close sharply on 1/2 so that we can prepare for the meals.  

Cost will vary depending on how many people sign up to go - this does NOT include what you will owe your grubmaster. Grubmasters must keep costs to $12 or under - you are NOT planning for Saturday dinner.  Each patrol will receive a budget for Saturday dinner to prepare a pot-luck meal.

39 people or less $28 per person

40-49 people $23 per person

50+ people $18 per person
