We are now just 1 week away from the high point of the scouting year- Hawk Mountain Summer Camp. This should be all the information you need.
We will all meet for Mass at Saint Teresa’s on Sunday July 14th at 7:00 am sharp. We will distribute all Class B t-shirts before Mass.
Please note that Msgr. Belford is concerned about parking for the elderly parishioners attending mass, so if possible, please park on the street. After Mass is finished and the vehicles are loaded, we will leave for the camp at about 8:30 AM. We will make our annual stop again this year at the Landingville Fire House for a Breakfast Buffet.
Families are needed to drive up to the camp with us. There will be a lot of equipment and scouts to transport.
All Scouts and leaders will wear the Class B Troop T-shirt up to the camp and Breakfast. We will change into Class “A” once we arrive at camp.
Please make sure your son(s) have their bathing suit on under their class B uniform (scout shorts/pants, socks, belt, Troop T-shirt) or readily available (not packed in a trunk) with their towel. They should also have their Class A Uniform shirt and Neckerchief readily available (not packed in a trunk) for as soon as we arrive at camp to take the troop photo.
