• Label everything:  Clothing, bottles, sunscreen, books!  If you want it returned (or hope to) then a label needs to be on items!  https://www.amazon.com/Personalized-Daycare-Labels-Custom-Clothing/
• Key Lock OR Combination Key:  If your Scout is bringing a key lock, a duplicate key must be turned in during Scout drop off.

Financial Assistance

• The cost of summer camp should never be a barrier to attending summer camp.
• There is a limited amount of financial aid available at the Council level.
  • Know that the Council’s first questions are often:
    • Did the Scout sell popcorn during the Fall?
    • Did the Scout sell camp cards during the Spring?
• Camp Cards are great way to reduce the cost of Summer Camp.
  • The cards cost $10.00; $5.00 goes to the Council and $5.00 goes to your Scout’s tuition.
• Please speak with us ASAP if you need assistance.
  • At present, Troop 934 does not have a formal financial assistance program.
  • Troop 934 is committed to providing summer camp for all interested Scouts.
