2009 Summer Camp Information

This year Troop 108 will be venturing 100 miles straight up I-77 and into the land of Opey and Aunt Bea for a week-long stay at Raven Knob Scout Camp from July 19th to July 25th.  Situated just outside of Mount Airy, NC (Aunt Bea’s home town and model for the set of the Mayberry RFD and the Andy Griffith Shows from the 60’s) this beautiful camp has a lot to offer our scouts.

We will be staying at the site named “Kit Carson” .   An online map of Raven Knob can be seen here.

Once we’re in camp, you can click on our troop number to open up an email form where you can send your scout a message.

They even have a live webcam outside the dining hall that is enabled once camp is in session.   Perhaps you’ll get a glimpse of your scout lining up for lunch or supper.

Here is some of the information that was sent home at a recent scout meeting regarding our 2009 summer camp plans.   If you haven’t seen this information, it is probably still in your son’s red scout pouch.   If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jose Rivas, who is heading up this year’s summer camp plans, at “elkrivas at bellsouth dot net” or Scoutmaster David Harllee   at “dharllee at gmail dot com”.

Camp Fees, Registrations & Refunds

The camp fees for this summer are $250 per Scout. The fee includes a camp patch and T-shirt for each Scout and has been broken up into seven parts to make it easier on our scouting families.

The camp policy regarding Scout fee refunds is as follows:

Prior to June 1, all payments made are fully refundable or transferable to another participant. Cancellations made after June 1 are subject to a non-refundable fee of $50. The Camp Director reserves the right to make an exception for extreme or extenuating circumstances.

Scouts, not Troop 108, should cover all camp costs.   This prevents the Troop from losing money if a Scout cannot attend camp and has not yet paid.   Please note that we cannot offer refunds for Scouts who leave camp early and under no circumstances may any refunds be carried over to the following summer.
