Will Be "WEEK 3" This Summer. July 10-17, 2011

The total cost of Yawgoog is $310.00. There is a 20% discount (on the second child) for siblings. Payments are due in full by June 17th. (this is a correction from June 24th that is listed on the calender). Paperwork for Yawgoog is due by June 24.

Below is the information about camperships from council website:

Camping and other outdoor activities are an essential part of Scouting. Indeed, it is impossible to enjoy the full benefits of the Scouting program without attending Cub Scout Day Camp, Cub Resident Camp, Webelos Resident Camp, and Boy Scout Summer Camp!

We feel so strongly about the outdoor program that we have made a commitment that no young person will be denied a camp experience due to financial constraints. To that end, the Narragansett Council has established a Campership Fund to assist our Scouting families.

The Campership Committee will consider camp scholarship applications for Boy Scout Camp at Yawgoog and Cachalot, Webelos Camp at Yawgoog, Cub World, Cub Scout Day Camp and Adventure Weekends. In keeping with the Scouting philosophy, we ask that every effort be made by your Cub Scout or Boy Scout and their unit to provide a portion of the camp fee. In the words of the Scout Law…."A Scout is thrifty….he works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for the future. He carefully uses time and property."

While funds are limited, I would again stress that we are committed to providing scholarship assistance to ensure that every youth member attend camp. In order to fairly distribute available funds the deadline for campership requests is May 31st.

At this time you can apply online for a campership at http://www.narragansettbsa.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.asp?LinkKey=39802&orgkey=1213. We can also have the hard copy paper forms at the meetings.

If anyone is interested in applying for a campership you
can talk to Ray or Jamie at the meetings.
