COPE, Cowboy Action, Early Release, Diet Request and Scuba forms are due to me by June 1.  All forms can be found at danbeard.org/campforms under Camp Friedlander forms.
A reminder that merit badge schedules were distributed two weeks ago.  I highlighted badges that have pre-requisites. Make sure you review those requirements and start your pre-work. Get blue cards from Mr. Gormly and check the troop website for a list of merit badge counselors.  If you have questions about pre-work or need help connecting with a counselor, come see me.
A list of pre-reqs can also be found at danbeard.org/campforms under Camp Friedlander forms.
We are working on rescheduling another swim test date. Tentatively we are looking at June 10 from 2-3 at the Mason Community Center. We hope to have that confirmed soon.
Email me at tjvieux@gmail.com if you have any other questions regarding camp.
