Summer Camp Fee is $440, Past years’ the Troop Committee has given a $50 subsidy, this has yet to be approved. When this is finalized, the information on this page will reflect it.
The cost of attending summer camp can be significant, as such, Troop 49 and the Greater NY Council offer financial assistance to those who are interested and qualify. Any questions concerning Campership forms and/or eligibility please contact either Tendai Richards, Lynda Angus, or Simon Fishman. 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 August 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 Ranachqua. Per New York State law, BSA camps NOW require 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. Camps face stiff fines if not in compliance with this law. You will not be able to get a variance for this requirement. 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.

Yours in scouting,
