Hi Guys,
We leave Sunday July 6 for sunny camp Yawgoog. We'll have directions for
everyone at the I95 exit 58 commuter lot when we meet at 3:30PM and will
depart from the lot on the New Haven side (west) as a group. Scout and adult
Class III health forms will be collected at the lot. Wear your Class A uniform
for the trip.
Troop 474 Class B hats and shirts will be available at the parking lot when we
are ready to leave. Shirts $15, hats $10.
The Troop will provide dinner Sunday night for Scouts and any parents who'd like
to stay and eat with us. Bug juice and water will also be available all week
long.
If you need to reach us at camp:
Camp Yawgoog Scout Reservation (401) 539-2311 - We are Camp Three Point,
Campsite Frontier.
Gordon Terwilliger (203) 415-7074
Stan Malinowski (203) 401-1762
Mike Edgerton (203) 410-2139
Sunday 7/13 departure from Camp Yawgoog Parents should arrive at
camp no later than 10am Sunday morning and come down to the campsite
(Frontier). Religious services end at about 9:30 and we will pack up and leave
immediately afterward.
Here are a few odds and ends to remember for camp. You'll notice some repeats
on the Summer Camp Packing List found at the Troop web site at:

or

1. Theme Costume (optional) - the theme
for our week is Villain week - Here's what the Yawgoog site says: Watch out!
Darth Vader, Kahn, The Joker, Magneto, The Big Bad Wolf, Dr. Octagon and all
sorts of evil villains have swarmed the camp! Who knows what these evil dudes
are up to. Bring your sleuthing gear to help fight them, or bring your evil gear
to join them! So...if you have an idea for a costume bring it along.
2. Class A shirt
3. Class B shirt - any you might have - scouting related tee shirts etc.
4. rain gear/coat - merit badge classes go on whether it's raining or not.
5. headlamp/battery lantern/flashlight - it's dark at night.
6. notebook/pens/pencils
7. Scout book
8. bathing suit - even if you don't plan to swim you must take the swim test.
9. knives - bring your jackknife - no fixed blades allowed, they must fold up.
You'll have the opportunity to earn the Tot'n Chip if you haven't already.
10. folding type lawn chair - it stinks to stand all day.

12. pillow - like the one on your bed
13. Class III Health form - not the Class II.
14. money, moola, loot, long green - you'll want it to buy merit badge books

Yawgoog tee shirt, candy, chips, soda + ice cream, bribes, etc.
15. guitar - if you play one
16. playing cards, board game - if you have a favorite.
17. Big bin - It is easiest to get one of those big Rubbermaid-type bins to
keep all your junk and clothes in.
18. Mosquito net - coffin type to go over your bed available at Trailblazer,
possibly Wal-Mart or at Camp- with 4 sticks to hold it up.
19. 10 essentials kit if you have one.
