ALL IS WELL! EVERYONE IS FINE! – Mr. Walsh reports that there was bad weather Monday evening. The storm was a big one so the camp put everyone inside the Program Center Building. A few of our scouts got wet sleeping bags that were taken into town for drying. Good thing our leadership has experience (tropical storm at Woodruff four years ago) and BSA Severe Weather training.

Other than weather excitement, camp is going well. Food is the same as last year so everyone is well fed. We will give additional updates again later in the week.

SATURDAY DEPARTURE
Be at COOS by 6:30a. Departure is scheduled for 7a.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR TRIP
Your packed lunch and a modest amount of snack money. Save approximately $10 for your return-trip lunch.

SUMMER CAMP PACKING
There were two Summer Camp Packing lists on the Downloads Page. These lists were recently updated and replaced with a single, comprehensive list. You can find the list on the Downloads Page or click here to download now.

MEDICAL FORMS & MEDICATIONS
These are REQUIRED prior to departure for camp. If Mr. Walsh does not have your form or you do not give it to him on Saturday, you can not go to camp. Medications MUST be in their original pharmacy-labeled packaging.

SUMMER CAMP PAYMENT
The second payment was due last week. The third and final payment is due now.

MEDICAL FORM
Scouts and adults MUST have the new Annual Medical Form completed and signed by a doctor BEFORE Summer Camp. No form, no camp for you!

YOUTH PROTECTION
ALL adult volunteers MUST complete the new Youth Protection Training. All BSA training can be found at MyScouting.org.

Since Youth Protection is now required prior to becoming an adult volunteer, you no longer need a troop ID card before creating a login to complete your training. So, sign-up, login and get your training completed.

Campers – Aug 27-29 is our Florida Caverns trip. This is going to be a fun trip. One of the highlights will be a nighttime tour of the caverns. Don’t miss this trip. All scouts and adults who wish to attend must sign up below.

A Suwannee River Canoe & Camping trip is planned for June 25-27. This is always a great time doing things a little out of the ordinary. We need an accurate count of who will be able to go with us on this trip.

SCOUTS and ADULTS please sign-up below and let us know if you are YES or NO on this trip.

Note: We are in need of adult volunteers to make this trip happen.

We Want YOU!!!
Troop 110 needs more parents to come to the aid of our scouts. Our core group of dedicated adult campers is experiencing a unique set of challenges. Please see the sign-up list below and our Troop Calendar for upcoming dates. Jump in and help because when we run short of adults for camping trips, camping gets cancelled.

Troop 37 (Community Presbyterian in Atlantic Beach) has one (1) slot open for an Okeefenokee canoe trip. They leave Sunday afternoon and return Wednesday evening. They will put in at Waycross on Monday morning and will do platform camping along the trip. Sounds like big fun.

Contact Mr. Currie (891-3428) ASAP if you are interested. First come, first served.

On September 17-19 we are camping at Cumberland Island, GA. This trip requires advance notice, planning and reservations. The troop leadership requested a commitment and deposit (TBD) by the March 8th meeting. Please indicate YES or NO on the form below. We need an answer from ALL SCOUTS.

On April 30 – May 2 we are camping at Ginnie Springs. We need you to sign up YES or NO and need an answer from ALL SCOUTS.

On March 19-21 we are camping at Florida Caverns State Park. Please sign up, we need a YES or NO from ALL SCOUTS.

- USS ALABAMA TRIP CANCELLED -
- ALTERNATE PLAN AVAILABLE TO THOSE INTERESTED -

There is a severe weather alert for Pensacola area. Current reports of sleet and snow. Schools are closed. Projections are for a mix of rain, turning to snow. Projected snowfall is as much as 3″. Black ice projected for several days after snowfall. Black ice is the trip-killer here as it is a major safety issue.

- ALTERNATE PLAN -
We can do a day-trip on Saturday (which should be sunny and cool) to Olustee. We can walk around the encampment and watch the battle.

Email a YES or NO to troop110@gmail.com to let us know your interest in going to Olustee.

We need to know who is going OR NOT on the USS Alabama trip (Feb 13-15).

You must fill out the sign-up form by Sunday Feb. 7th. See the sign-up form earlier in the blog.

We’ve adjusted the departure date to Saturday morning. Meet at COOS at 6a and depart at 6:30a SHARP.

We will load the trailer Friday evening. Everyone bring their gear to the trailer on Friday between 6-7p.

HEY SCOUTS!!! You planned a really cool trip for February 12-15. We are camping at Ft. Pickens State Park, will visit the National Naval Aviation Museum and go to the Battleship USS Alabama!!! Don’t miss this trip… we need to know if you are going along. Fill out the form below and get on the list fast.

The DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY put together a unique camping package called Daytona Days to help kick off 100 Years of Scouting.

We need to know who is interested. Daytona Days is January 8-10, 2010. Note: This conflicts with OA Fellowship and the troop originally planned to attend Camporee the following weekend. We just need to see who might consider this as a swap or an addition to Camporee.

For all the details download the Daytona Days Flyer HERE.  Then, fill out the form below.

The troop will camp Friday night only and return to COOS late-afternoon on Saturday.

Anticipated weather on Saturday afternoon may cause the obstacle course and repelling tower to close.  This will adversely affect a number of our goals for the weekend.

A number of scouts need nights of camping for advancement.  By staying just Friday night helps this cause.   On Saturday we can still get some other requirements completed before returning to COOS.
