Troop 24 will be attending Tesomas Summer Camp July 12-18, 2020. The cost of camp will be $310 per scout, plus an additional bus fee for transportation. Sign-up on our troop website will begin in spring. For those with financial hardship, camperships are available to pay a portion of this cost. Tesomas campership applications are due April 1. Here is a link to the form that parents should submit to be considered: Samoset Campership Application. Troop 24 also has campership money available for scouts with financial hardship who participated in our troop fundraising. Contact Scoutmaster Tim Lauger for more information.

Tesomas program registration opens on March 1, and the following programs have limited enrollment. Microtrek 101 is for scouts who are 13 and 14 years of age and First Class rank (morning only, $50 additional cost). Microtrek 200 is for Scouts 15 years of age or older and First Class rank (morning or afternoon session, $65 additional cost). Microtrek 300 is for scouts who have already completed Microtrek 200 (all day program, $110 additional cost). More information will be available at troop meetings or on the Camp Tesomas website. Email our Troop Camp Coordinator Carolyn Lach ASAP at clach@northpark.edu if you want to sign up for a Microtrek program.

Four merit badge classes have limited enrollment: Climbing, Archery, Rifle Shooting and Shotgun Shooting ($25 additional fee). If you wish to participate in one of these programs, email our Troop Camp Coordinator Carolyn Lach ASAP at clach@northpark.edu. New scouts will be participating in merit badge classes and programs which do not have limited enrollment, so those families can just save the dates of July 12-18 and wait for the information meeting our troop will have later this year.
