Start Thinking about Summer Camp!
Troop 24 will be attending Tesomas Summer Camp July 17-23, 2022. The cost of camp will be $330 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 Dave Flassing at flassing@yahoo.com for more information.
Tesomas program registration opens on April 1, and the following 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.
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 Rachel Schrier ASAP at rachelschrier@hotmail.com. New scouts will be participating in merit badge classes and programs which do not have limited enrollment. Parents of crossover scouts should attend the parent information meeting our troop will hold this Thursday, March 17 at 7pm to learn more about our troop and summer camp.
Congratulations!
To Troop 24’s newest Eagle Scout, Mateo Cubas.
