Camp Friedlander

PARENTS - It is very important for you to get these medical forms to Nancy Tennant or see her to initial the form on file for your son. Next week, 7/23 - is the last meeting before Camp Friedlander and if the medical forms are not received or initialed they cannot go to camp! An email was sent out with a list of who needs medical forms.
Please donate water to Troop for Summer camp!
Mr Simon is asking for some people to bring a case of water that we could put in the truck and drink during the week. In previous years the troop has drank 6 or 7 cases of water during the week. The adults have even made a road trip to the store to buy water and or gator aid. The scouts will be out in heat for a whole week and dehydration is a concern that the adults have. Trust me that several meals at camp the only drink available to the Scouts will be water. And if you are lucky enough to be sitting at my table I will make each scout drink at least 3 glass. Having bottled water at camp makes it easier for us and the Scouts. Thanks!
We still need drivers to take and bring back 42 scouts. My count right now is 30 seats to camp and 22 coming home, I think some people told they would drive but I forgot or missed place your numbers. The database on the left is update as I know of.
If your son or you want a photo of the troop at summer camp they can be purchased at camp store during the week for $5.00 each. The scout will receive a summer camp patch at no cost.
If you scout wants to do anything with the climbing or rappelling tower or the C.O.P.E. course they must have a Element of Danger statement filled out and signed by parent.
Camp Friedlander ask for parents to sign a Talent release form found on page 35 of leader guide or contact Mrs. Searles.(sorry Karen). I know that Camp Friedlander has couple of videos on You tube.
Friday night they have family night, starting with dinner at 530pm until 7pm, cost is $7.00 per person. You must let me know before leaving for camp. They want a head count when we check into camp. After dinner, they will be having open program and parents that visit can go around camp to see what your son has been doing all week. Closing Flag ceremony at 845 pm followed closing campfire.
Next for all Scouts, Scouters, parents and adults attending camp on medications, prescriptions and non prescription must adhere to Camp Friedlander's guidelines, they are different than 7 Ranges. Here are they guidelines. Medications ALL medications, prescriptions and non-prescription, brought to camp by campers and leaders are REQUIRED to be secured and locked in the Camp Health Lodge. This policy may seem too strict for adult over the counter medications; however, if a camper consumes medication that is not meant for them, it has deadly potential. There will be certain exceptions for lifesaving medications to be carried at camp. This decision will be made during the medical exam given by our health officers.
Medication must be in the original container and contain the following information:
1. Camper's Name and troop
2. Name of Prescribing Physician
3. Prescription Number
4. Date Prescribed
5. Name of Medication
6. Directions for Use
Scuba and Snorkling Merit Badges at Camp Freidland Mr. Simon is returning from the 10 day out meeting at Camp Friedlander tonight and has asked me to get a quick e-mail out. He has learned that there is some additional paperwork that needs to be complete for scouts that have signed up for snorkeling and scuba diving. If you have signed up for one or more of these badges please send Mr. Simon you e-mail address or a fax number so that he can quickly get you the forms to complete. In some cases an additional signature from the Doctor maybe required. If there are any questions you can contact Dale. His e-mail address is here or here.

Summer Camp
