Preparing For Camp

Ten-Day-Out Meetings

PDFPrintE-mail

Written by Mike Swofford

To make sure everything is ready for the very best camp experience your Scouts can possibly have, the camp leadership team will host a weekly Ten-Day-Out meeting prior to each scheduled week of camp. Your Ten-Day-Out meeting will be held at 7pm on the Thursday evening ten days prior to your Sunday arrival at the Camp Friedlander Administration Shelter. This is your chance to meet the Camp Leadership Team, review pre-camp activity registration results, and find out the latest information to help your troop have a smooth check-in when you arrive at camp.

For the Ten-Day-Out Meeting to be effective, it is imperative that your troop completes online merit badge registration at least 30 days before you arrive at camp. In doing so, you will give the camp staff time to review your Scout’s activity requests prior to the meeting.

During the Ten-Day-Out meeting you will be made aware of any requests not filled and then have the ten days to make adjustments with your Scouts prior to arrival in camp. This will make the Sunday check-in run smoothly and eliminate late night sessions trying to scramble and adjust things at the last minute. This process will provide your Scouts with the very best opportunity to participate in the merit badges and activities they most desire to take.

Using the dates below, please make sure your troop is represented at the meeting scheduled for your week of camp. Attendance is limited to two people per troop due to space limitations.
