Are you ready for the summer?  It's time to start thinking about Resica Falls Boy Scout camp!  Join your friends at camp for a week of fun activities in the great outdoors!
 
Where? Resica Falls Boy Scout Camp in the Poconos, PA.
When?  Sunday July 8th - Saturday, July 14th.
Who? All Scouts in Troop 199.
Why? Because it's fun and you can earn lots of merit badges (new ones added!) and sign offs for rank advancements.

There will be many, many e-mails about summer camp for the next few weeks where all of your questions and concerns will be answered... required equipment, sleeping arrangements, medical conditions, patrols, merit badges, safety, etc etc.  We are available to discuss your concerns privately as well.  A parent orientation is being scheduled, as well as a swim test for all campers.

In the meantime ... the Annual Health and Medical Form is required for all campers and parents.  It is now updated ANNUALLY, and requires a copy of your insurance card and immunization dates.

We have a new menu item titled, "Adult Training".

Please take a look and be sure all your training is up-to-date.

What Is NYLT?

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is the Boy Scouts of America’s youth training for the 21st Century. Delivered on the council level for youth. It is a seven-day or two weekend outdoor experience for youth leaders in support of the Scoutmaster’s responsibility for training the Troop’s Youth Leaders. The course is set up to represent a month in the life of a typical Scout troop. It is conducted by the Council’s youth training staff using an outline approved by the Boy Scouts of America.

What Is Its Purpose?

Scouting recognizes that Scoutmasters’ have the responsibility of training their own Youth Leaders. The purpose of the National Youth Leadership Training is not to assume that role, but to support it. The objectives of the conference are:

Shortly after achieving the rank of Life, scouts should arrange a meeting with Mr. Farrell, the troop eagle advisor to review the path to eagle.  (His phone number is listed below.) This meeting reviews material available on the BSA website including:

• eagle project requirements
• required merit badges
• troop participation requirements
• associated documentation requirements.

Examples of eagle projects are reviewed in detail including workbook requirements and council approval requirements. This meeting is between the scout and Mr. Farrell, as the project belongs to the scout.
