Bears & Webelos, Please do not register your scout for Camp Ross yet. Colin Sellar, a Den 4 parent, is coordinating our Camp Ross attendance this year. He will be sending out instructions for registration to the two Camp Ross dens in the next few weeks. Please wait to register your scout until then. Right now, the only people who need to do anything are those that request financial aid from the council, which is due now but not registration. So no further action is needed until you hear more from your leaders. Are you ready for Camp Ross this Year?!! We will be staying at Camp Ross in Week Three of the Camping Season, July 5 – 11. Thank you, Colin Sellar, for being the coordinator! Your Coordinator this year is: Colin Sellar Their contact email is: colin.sellar@gmail.com There is nothing like it, “Ross is Boss” for sure.

Goshen Scout Reservation Summer Camp, Spring and Fall Family Camping, and Year-Round Rentals 340 Millard Burke Memorial Highway Goshen, VA 24439 www.GoToGoshen.org While it may seem early, now is the time to register with the Pack and pay for Ross in order to get the early bird discount. Our strongly encouraged form of payment this year is the Pack’s PayPal Account. Pack Registration coming soon! Here are the costs for Ross this year. Early Bird – Pay Pack by April 5 Scouts: $385 Adults: $225 Regular Price – Pay Pack by May 10 Scouts: $415 Adults: $265 If Finances are an issue, please apply at https://www.gotogoshen.org/registration/#camperships Several adult leaders will attend camp this year, but we also need a few parents to come to keep our scout to adult ratio in check. That was how I first came to Ross and it’s been a great experience ever since! If you choose to attend as a parent, you are there in your capacity as a de facto leader, not as a parent. You will be expected to share troop-wide responsibilities with other adults attending. We will also be asking you to take an on-line youth protection training (BSA Required, but really good training this year) and consider driving other kids to and from camp. Easy stuff and well worth it for the Ross experience! Parents can do a full week or half week - either first or second half. Please indicate this in the sign-up form. Pack 33 makes sure that any camper interested in attending can afford to do so. Although it is technically past the due date, Camp Goshen is still accepting campership applications and they can be found at this https://www.ncacbsa.org/goshen-campership-application/. If you would like to request financial assistance, please complete the application and return it directly to the National Council. If you do please also contact me, so we can coordinate any campership you may receive with our registration. Yours in Scouting, Colin Sellar Pack 33 leader, Parent of Webelo & Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 33 |
