April 1 (tentative) – Registration opens on website for merit badge signups (tentative)
April 5 – Early bird deadline (fees go up $50.00 after this date!) (Council’s deadline is April 15; we need time to pay from the Troop Treasury)

Camp Fees:
Important Note: Do not make payments directly to the Northern New Jersey Council. All Payments will be handled through Troop 49 to reduce additional accounting work on both sides.
Through our fundraising efforts, Troop 49 is able to give each scout a $50 credit for use for one NNJC Summer Camp week at either Floodwood or Turrell.
| Full price | Less $50 troop subsidy | |
| Paying by 4/5 | $410 | $360 |
| Paying after 4/5 | $455 | $405 |
Bottom line – If you’re not going to Floodwood, and you pay before April 5, the cost is $360.
2018 CAMPERSHIP FORMS: The Northern New Jersey Council (NNJC) offers what is called a campership to assist families whose financial circumstances would not permit them to send their Scout to summer camp without financial assistance. Campership applications are due to Northern NJ Council BY NO LATER THAN March16, 2018 – a copy of that form can be found by clicking on this hyperlink: http://www.nnjbsa.org/camping/summer-camp/58471
The cost of attending summer camp can be significant, as such, Troop 49 and the Northern NJ Council offer financial assistance to those who are interested and qualify. Any questions concerning Campership forms and/or eligibility please contact either Jim Folkerts at jim.folkerts@gmail.com, Paul Burns at paul@paulburns.me or Simon Fishman at safishman@verizon.net. All inquiries will be held strictly confidential.
Medical Forms:
BSA MEDICAL FORMS PARTS A, B & C: Each scout is required to have completed BSA medical forms Part A, B & C in order to attend summer camp at Turrell.
Those forms can be accessed directly from the nnjbsa.org homepage or here.
Medical forms already completed for your Scout between July 31 and today will cover your scout for this trip. The Boy Scouts require forms that are less than one year old form the date we are attending Turrell. Turrell NOW requires the line on Form B beneath the medication list to be signed or stamped by the physician and signed by the parent. They will not let scouts in to camp without these signatures if there is ANY medication listed. Note that Form C is required to be completed and signed by a physician. Please do not wait to schedule an appointment with your son’s doctor – better to get it over and done if possible.
