Welcome to Troop 61

I have reserved “The Fort” at Camp Carpenter, NH for our March 25-26th trip. I will have a sign-up sheet at the next Troop meeting.

Just for clarification.

The cost per crew is $4950. Assuming 8 to a crew the Sea Base *cost per
scout is $618.75.* Add to this transportation cost both land and
airfare and incidentals.

Great news!!

We got a SeaBase reservation. The tentative reservation is:

2 Crews for Coral Reef Sailing
July 2, 2007 (Monday) - July 8, 2007 (Sunday)

We will need to have a deposit of $100.00 per person in three weeks to
keep the reservation. ($1,600).

Each crew is 8 people. Minimum of 2 adults per crew. The majority of
the crew must be scouts (not adults)
This means we have room for a maximum of twelve scouts. All scouts must
be at least 14 years old on September 1, 2007.

We need to discuss this at our next committee meeting. If we do not
have enough interested scouts we can always open it up to the venture
scouts. All youth pariticipating must be boy scout or venture scout.
