Right now we have a date for a week at Camp Geronimo -- June 19-26, but we have not made reservations because we don't know who or how many are planning to go.
We need both youth and adults planning to go to sign up on the Troop website. In your comments let us know which program you are interested in -- Traditional merit badges, Brownsea Island, or Spade Ranch High Advent (for 13-1/2 and up).
We would leave Saturday morning, June 19, and return Saturday afternoon June 26. We would get to camp a day before programs start and would handle our own food until Sunday evening meal. We'd find a way to use that time very well. There are 4 different programs offered, each with different prices, which include our trip fee and food before camp starts. Some programs may have additional fees, such as ammunition, craft projects, and horse riding fees.
Merit Badge Program - $400 Traditional Summer Camp Merit Badge opportunities to work on over 30 different merit badges. Video:
There will be an opportunity for need-based Grand Canyon Council camperships, for up to 50%. We'll make the forms available soon. Presently the Troop Campership fund is fairly low, so it can't be depended on unless we get some donations. Remember that the first question before awarding camperships is "What have you done to earn at least part of the costs for Summer Camp", so participation in fundraisers such as our Flag program is a good starting place on figuring out how to pay.
To reserve our spots we will need to submit $125 per Scout for Merit Badge or Brownsea, $200 each for Spade Ranch and $40 per adult. We need this by Monday, February 22. Please sign up on the web site if interested. We'll collect payments on March a and March 8. We can accept cash, check, or use of your unit Scouting account. Notice that with opportunities to do flags on Memorial Day May 23, you can earn money that will go a long way toward covering your costs. Whatever you have earned from Flags between Flag Day 2020 and Presidents Day 2020 will also be added to your account before camp.
Safety: For Summer Camp 2020 Camp Geronimo operated very safely with a rigorous set of protocols to make summer camp healthy, and they got through 4 weeks of Summer Camp without a single COVID problem. Protocols included a lot of health checks - before entering camp and every morning, breaking the camp into smaller groups called cohorts who stuck together instead of mingling with other groups, special dining hall procedures, mask wearing, social distancing, and a lot of disinfecting. As far as we know they will do this and more in 2021, building on proven best practices. We will closely monitor this area and provide updates as we learn more.
Ryan Hadden's Eagle Project is to collect, donate and support the Sunshine Residential Homes, which care for children in foster homes across the valley. They manage 30 group homes with a maximum of 10 residents per home. Help Ryan hand out as many flyers as you can on the first day and then return to the neighborhood the next week to collect the duffle bags. Ryan's goal is to collect/donate 500 duffle bags. Come help AND bring a duffle!
Scouts who will be at least 14 years of age by summer 2021 should consider our planned high adventure trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in July 2021. Mr. Oless is putting together 1 crews (6-10 scouts/2-4 adults per crew) for this adventure in July 7, 2021 to July 20, 2021 at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Costs will be around $1200 per person plus travel fees and required gear. [Scholarship requests accepted for those in need - see Mrs. Buchanan].
Join us in the woods north of Flagstaff for an adventure in the snow! The troop will be doing a Klondike Derby testing your North Woods skills at 5 towns along the Klondike sled Trail. Be prepared for cold weather and snow! (On one outing we had 24 inches of snow on Saturday night) We will be camping near the Upson’s Cabin and if we are snowed in Brent has a snow cat to plow the road. This has always been a fun trip in the past! You will have the opportunity to earn Gold Nuggets along the trail and then trade them in at the Upson‘s Hudson Bay trading Company. If there is enough snow scouts can build a Quincey and perhaps camp in it.
Important: Bring a zero degree sleeping bag (or two 20 degree bags), sleeping pad and snow boots.
This year’s 3 Day Mazatzal Adventure will start at Red Creek west of the Verde River Wilderness area, we will hike thru the beautiful riparian area of Red creek to the Verde River. We will then hike north another 3 miles and camp along the river in a very remote and scenic spot with great access to the river and good fishing. On Sunday we will explore farther up into the Verde River wilderness area and then return to our Campsite for some free time and fishing. Bring your lightweight fishing equipment and prepare to explore one of the most remote sections of Arizona. (Always fun when Mr. Videen leads a trip)
