Volunteer opportunities in the area |
|
VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads is a local service organization perfect for scouts to volunteer in and earn service hours with hundreds of opportunities to serve. To learn more, visit their website at http://www.volunteerhr.org/ |
For those attending Troop 57 Summer Camp, each scout should place their clothing and other equipment in a foot locker that will be kept in their tent. We transport all foot lockers in the Troop trailer and therefore request that everyone use the same foot locker so they can be stacked properly in the trailer. The specific foot locker is a Contico model 1320BK-1 available at Walmart stores or can be sourced online at www.walmart.com/ip/Contico-Storage-Locker/2476189.
All outstanding medical forms, copies of health insurance information, Troop 57 permission slip, and signed waivers for those attending New River Adventure Camp should be provided to Randy Scully on or before June 3rd. |
