Please use the OFFICIAL BSA health form included with this checklist. Your Scout’s health form is good for 3 years so please keep a copy for your records to be used again the next year. Participating Adults 40 years and older must complete a Class 3 health form and have a physical exam as well. Please see us for this form.
- ( ) Every Scout must have a swim test at camp before they participate in swimming activities. Please let us know if there is anything we need to be made aware of. This swim test will be administered at camp for everyone who did not take it before camp. There will be a pre-camp swim test to help make Sunday afternoon less stressful. We will let you know the date/time for this. We must do this pre-camp swim test as a group.
- ( ) Check-in for Pack 316 is 2:00 p.m. June 22nd.
Plan to meet in the parking lot at Woodfield Scout Preservation at 1:45 p.m. Sunday afternoon. We must check in as a Pack and turn in all our forms at one time. A Scout will not be allowed to participate without a health form signed by a doctor and a parent or guardian. At this time, our campsite is Saura.
- ( ) Plan to pick your child up on Thursday, June 26th at 9:30 a.m. at Woodfield. Our campsite must be cleaned and inspected before we can leave. There will be a Family Campfire Program Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. if you would like to come to camp for an evening of fun and fellowship. This is Optional. Please eat supper BEFORE you come.

- ( ) We WILL need leader and adult participation. There MUST be at least 2 leaders with each group at ALL times. We have 2 groups planning to attend so we need a minimum of 6 adult leaders every day of camp. For 20 Scouts attending, 5 leaders are free-of-charge. For every 3 additional scouts, 1 leader can attend free-of-charge. Additional Adult charge and/or sibling charge for full week: $50.00. If you plan to attend on a partial basis, the cost is $4.00 for breakfast; $5.00 for lunch; and $5.00 for supper. Let us know if you would like to be an adult leader for the week or for a partial week or a day. The pack will pay for the adult leader’s t-shirt for those planning on staying the entire week. Adult t-shirts are available for $14.00 to $16.00 depending on size needed.
Scouts ARE NOT to leave the camp during the camping period without the approval of their parent, unit leader, and the Camp Director. An early release form must be filled out and a responsible adult must sign out the Scout in the Camp Office if early dismissal is necessary. All visitors must sign-in at the Camp Office upon arrival and sign-out upon departure.
- ( ) An equipment list is attached.
- ( ) The Scouts will work on 3 activity pins. We will not repeat these activity pins during the Scouting year. We will participate in belt loop activities as well. Of course, we will eat well, get plenty of rest, and have lots of fun. They will be tired Thursday afternoon and will probably need a good hot bath with lots of soap.
- ( ) Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or a special dietary need.
- ( ) Please label all medicines (original containers a must) clearly with name of scout, dosage, when meds are to be taken and if they need to be refrigerated; and put in a ziplock baggie.
- ( ) There is a trading post if your Scout would like to "shop." We suggest only bringing $20.00 or less. They will be responsible for their own money.
- ( ) The official BSA uniform is required for flag lowering ceremonies, supper, and campfires. During the day Scout shorts and t-shirts are appropriate. We will send the boys home clean in their new Camp T-shirt on Thursday.
If you have any other questions, please let us know. It will be a great week!
