GETTING READY FOR CAMP
It is useful to pack a trunk
to keep clothing, etc. dry if it rains. Though the camp provides tents, you may want to bring a zippered tent.
DO NOT BRING FOOD OR ELECTRONICS (NO CELL PHONES). Click the link below for a packing list.
Please click on the link below
and look at the Camp Manatoc program guide for information about what your Scout will need to bring or buy at camp to complete
his badges. Send sufficient money to camp with your Scout to purchase kits, ammunition or whatever is needed.
It is also helpful to send some spending money for snacks and the like. Keep in mind that you can replenish the money
reserves on Wednesday at Parents' Night.
If you plan to take your Scout out of camp for any reason during the week, you must bring
an executed Camper Release Form to the meeting place. Click on the link below for a copy of the form.

CAMPER RELEASE FORM
DEPARTURE, SUN. JULY
5th: We will meet at
the Medina Municipal Pool at 10:30. If you have not done so, bring your medical form and any prescription medications.
Medications must be in a plastic zip lock bag with the Scout's name. Class B t-shirts and Scout hats will be on sale.
The Scouts take a troop photo on arrival at camp, so SCOUTS MUST WEAR CLASS A UNIFORMS. If you want to purchase a photo, that
is also taken care of at the meeting place (Cost is $7). When the Scouts arrive at camp, one of the first things they
do is take the mandatory swimming test, so please have your Scout wear his trunks under the Class A uniform. We will
drive in a caravan, but if you want driving directions, click on the link below. Troop 501 will camp at the Buckeye
campsite. Please click on the link below for a map of Camp Manatoc (I have trouble with it on my computer, so will have
some old hard copies available at our meeting spot). MAP OF CAMP MANATOC DRIVING DIRECTIONS
