All
participants in summer camp, including adults, must have a
current physical.
Adults need a class III physical. These are good for one year.
Scouts need a class I and II physical. The class II is good for
three years. The class I is nothing more than an annual update
by parents.
These are simple physicals, of the variety that can be done by
your physician or by DOCTORS ON DUTY.
Since I know you all are very busy, I am providing the forms for
you now, so you have several weeks to take care of your
physical.
By
the way, if your scout has recently had a physical for school or
sports, there is a good chance you can drop the forms off where
he had the physical, and the doc will sign these papers without
needing to see their patient once again.
If
you are an adult just visiting summer camp and maybe staying one
night for the drop off or pick up, we have in the past not been
required to have a physical on you, since you are not
participating in camp activities.

San Lorenzo Park Camp
Troop 90 will take a step back into the turn-of-the-century while
visiting San Lorenzo County Park. This is a Patrol Cooking Camp in which
we will visit the Rural Life Museum, La Gloria one-room School (1887)
and the restored King City Southern Pacific Rail Depot. The park offers
ideal conditions for Capture the Flag and water balloons. |

China Camp to Big Sur Backpack Trek
WOW! The absolute most beautiful stretch of 24 miles on the planet
awaits. This annual backpacking trek will consist of three 8-mile
backpacking days. Enjoy the sunset from Pine Ridge the first night and
enjoy a swim at Barlow Flats the second night. This is one of our most
popular trips, back by popular demand. |

Camp Chawanakee |

21
- 28 |

This is a week long summer camp program in the
Sierra Mountains.Camp Chawanakee is once again being well received
by our scouts We have 24 participants with room for more. Dates
are 6/21/08 to 6/28/08. There is plenty of room for more
RSVPs. New scouts may read that as encouragement to come to camp.
Adults are also welcome to assist at this event.
Total price is $375.
Drivers are needed; Drivers are welcome to
stay the night (s) on the drop off day and pick up day.
Many Scouts are returning to this camp from
last year. It is a GREAT camp. Notes on Camp Chawanakee:
1. This is the first out-of-council camp our
boys asked to go back in consecutive years. They loved it last
year.
2. The food is awesome.
3. The program is awesome.
4. Expect more water in Shaver Lake this
year. ASM Fuerst, the troop hydrologist, will be preparing a
detailed report.
5. New scouts can join a skills patrol and
finish camp (with the exception of their BOR) a 2nd Class
Scout. They can also earn up to 3 merit badges as well. I
would like to have our new guys strongly consider attending
camp.
