Troop 24 will be attending Tesomas Summer Camp July 16-22, 2023. Here is the link to the Camp Tesomas website so you can read all about camp and see what programs and merit badges are offered: Camp Tesomas Website. The cost of camp will be $370 per scout, plus an additional bus fee for transportation. Our troop is already registered for summer 2023 – individual scout 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 Dave Flassing at flassing@yahoo.com for more information.

Tesomas program registration opens on March 15, and some programs have limited enrollment. Microtrek and Scuba are available at an additional cost for older scouts who are First Class rank and above. More information is available on the Camp Tesomas website. Email our Troop Camp Coordinator Rachel Schrier ASAP at rachelschrier@hotmail.com if you want to sign up for a Microtrek or Scuba program.
