Questions...

Can I still register if I can't make the 4/14 Troop meeting?
The answer is a resounding yes! Please either call or write Bob Rogers (course Scoutmaster @ 815.436.8485 bobandsherry@comcast.net) or myself (course SPL @ 630.399.0803 robert.bowen@exeloncorp.com) to let us know you are planning to attend and if you have a tent (also, if willing to share your tent with # of people). However, the $15 fee and camp physical is needed by the 4/21 Troop meeting. This will also give everyone time to get their Scout camp physicals completed (see national standard below and attached pdf files).

I have a schedule conflict part of the day on Saturday. Can I come late or leave for a couple of hours?
Once again, a resounding yes! You will still need to register.
