The 4th Caledonia scout trip to Haliburton is
almost upon us! Here is the vital
information for you to make this a fun and memorable experience. We want everyone to have a safe and fun time
at camp. To that end, there will be a zero tolerance policy and we will not
hesitate to call a parent to collect their scout if the situation is warranted.
1.
Scout information
·
Every scout needs to bring their Health Card. We will be checking before leaving and
leaving scouts in the parking lot if they don’t have them. Scouter Adam will take care of the cards
while at camp.
·
If any information has changed (phone numbers,
allergies, etc) since the beginning of the season, please make sure we have
updated info before departing.
·
I need a signed permission forms for all scouts
for the extended camp and activities; bring them with final payment or on July 4.
·
Please indicate in the space provided whether or
not your scout is allowed to have coffee and/or tea, and whether or not they
are allowed to purchase souvenir knives.
·
Please sign the rifle range form if your scout
is allowed to participate in range
activities.
