The sooner I have a list of scouts, the sooner I can reserve our camp site.
We're going to Camp Emerson (campemerson.org) Monday July 21 to Saturday July 26.
We chose Emerson this year because it's close, it's the least expensive camp available, and most scouts can earn at least 5 or 6 merit badges that week.

A little more detail about camp here, including merit badge offerings (Don't register yourself, this is a troop registration form)
A lot more detail about LAST year's camp. (This year's guide hasn't been published yet).
We'll be there at the same time as Troop 31, so we'll have a nice big group. It should be a lot of fun.
Fundraising:
For scouts who want to, I'd like there to be a fundraiser to allow them the opportunity to earn money for summer camp. But I need one or more scout parents to organize and lead the fundraiser.
In the past we've had most success with pre-sales of carwash tickets. Last year altogether, everyone raised over $2000. One scout funded his whole trip (plus spending money for camp) by selling carwash tickets.
If you want to do a carwash again, Saturday March 22 would be the best carwash date for our scout schedule and it's plenty of time before the final payment due date of April 15 (early bird).
This is how it might work:
1. In the next week or two, someone secures a location for the carwash.
2. Someone designs and prints carwash tickets by the end of January. Last year's ticket design is attached. We printed them 4-on-a-page on glossy cardstock.
3. Starting in February, scouts who want to fundraise, independently start selling tickets to neighbors, friends, church members, parents' co-workers, and to customers in front of grocery stores. Albertson's and Gerrard's were the most successful in past years.
4. Each scout keeps the money he earns from the tickets he sells. We won't be using s
