Troop 149 will be returning to Camp Sinoquipe this year. The dates are July 12–18 (a week later than normal due to where July 4 falls, and due to our Philmont crews being gone just before this).
Camp Sinoquipe is located about 115 miles from Washington DC and is northeast of Breezewood in Pennsylvania.
New Scouts should participate in the New Scout program, which emphasizes rank advancement for Scouts and Tenderfoot. Returning Scouts will participate in the merit badge program. If Sinoquipe continues their process from last year, merit badge signups will occur prior to camp. Once the merit badge schedule is ready, I will forward it to those attending summer camp and ask that they send me their selections.
The cost for each camper is $425 via check, or $438 via PayPal. Payment in full is due to the Troop by March 4th. See below for important payment notes.
A link to the signup form is below. You can also download the Sinoquipe Leader's Guide for 2020 at this link.
I will need the following three things from you to reserve a spot for your Scout or you...
1) payment in full by March 4th. Payments can be made through PayPal ($438 due to their 3% overhead) or by check made out to Troop 149 ($425). PLEASE NOTE that any payments made after March 4th MUST be made via PayPal: checks will NOT be accepted after March 4th.
2) an e-mail sent to rodman.sonja@gmail.com that provides the following information (this is in lieu of the "payment form" we have used in the past:
- Full Name of Scout attending
- Full Name of Parent(s)
- E-mail address for Scout (if available)
- E-mail address for Parent(s) to be used for all Sinoquipe related communications (Feel free to provide multiple addresses, especially if you want both parents in the loop!)
- Phone number for Scout (if available)
- Phone number for Parent
- Date on which payment was made through PayPal or check
You may e-mail Items 2 and 3 to me, or drop them off (along with check payment) at 3801 24th St. N, Arlington, VA 22207.
Please also let Troop 149 know about your camp attendance using the link at the bottom of this page.
Special note for adults: Right now the sign up is requesting only adults that can attend camp for the week or some number of days during the week. Adult participation is crucial as we have a lot of scouts that attend summer camp so please consider attending. Additionally, we will need extra drivers to get us to and from camp. There will be a separate call for drivers as we near our departure date. If you plan to stay for the week you will need to be a registered Scouter with the troop. Any adult staying less than 72 hours (i.e. half the week) does not have to register.
At a later date, I will also need to collect a BSA medical form for each Scout and adult that attends camp. You will need to have Parts A, B, and C completed. I am providing this link now in case you have any doctor's appointments on the horizon, you can take these forms with you to get them completed. You complete and sign Parts A and B. A health care provider must complete and sign Part C. This can be difficult to get completed at the last minute, so advance planning is highly recommended!
When you submit your medical forms you must include a copy of both sides of your health insurance card.
