REMEMBER - NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES (RADIOS, CELL PHONES, PSP'S ETC.) ALSO, NO BUG SPRAY, MATCHES OR LIGHTERS!! The Scoutmaster will supply as needed. Transportation: I will need several parents to help transport the boys. I still need Dads: If you are planning to spend and day and night, please let me know. Dads are welcome each night, but I especially need help on Tuesday/Wednesday and Friday/Saturday. BSA mandates that two leaders be in camp at all times and extra Dads help make that possible. Saturday Check-Out: We will be checking out of Camp on Saturday morning, July 10, 2010 - Plan to arrive between 8:30-9:00. Our scouts will not be dismissed until the campsite and individual tents have been inspected and released by the staff and scoutmaster. NO EXCEPTIONS! All Scouts should have transportation back to town on Saturday. Thursday Dinner: Gade Lander will be contacting you with the details. Don't forget your raingear because it always rains on Thursday night. Should you have any questions, please let me know. If you need me during camp week call Camp Cherokee at 336 694-6440 and the staff will relay me the message.
