Items Due at Shakedown Campout

I apologize for all of the different due dates, but your troop leadership is doing the same juggling of dates.  We do not set the final dates, but we must follow them.

Here is a list of things to bring to the Shakedown Campout besides your personal gear:

• Jamboree Medical Form -- The web system has finally been fixed.  Please complete the medical form online, print a copy for your records, a copy for the Jamboree troop to carry to New York and Washington, D.C., and a copy for your doctor to review.  When the doctor has signed part C (the last 2 pages, no Part D is required), copy Part C for your records, the Jamboree troop, and mail the original by April 15 to National according to the instructions on page 1.
• Troop Patch Order Form and Payment -- This is for extra shoulder strips, full sets of all the Circle 10 contingents with center patches, and the Texas button hangers.  Originally the patch orders were due March 27, but the council did not get the order form out in time.  It is now due back to the council on April 19.  It would be easiest for your troop leadership to collect this at the shakedown campout.  You may make checks payable to Ken Altnether or bring the exact amount in cash.
• OA Patch Order Form and Payment -- For current OA members only, please make your checks payable to Mikanakawa Lodge.  They are offering both the Jamboree patches and the fund raising 2013 lodge flaps.
• Tour Payment for Gettysburg -- Troop D211 will be visiting Gettysburg, PA on our way home.  This is an add-on to the "normal" tour.  The cost is $19 per person.  We need to collect this money at the shakedown campout because it is due to Circle 10 by April 10.  Please once again make checks payable to Ken Altnether.  You may combine this with the Troop Patch check, but we will need a note on the memo line stating "Patches and Tour."
• Troop Numeral Patches -- If anyone is taking more than two uniform shirts, you will need additional troop numeral patches.  Please let us know how many you need.  The troop must order them in sets of 40 through the council by April 15.  The price in the Jamboree catalog is $4.99 each, but we have been told that the sets of 40 will bring the price down.

Other expenses still to come, probably at our June shakedown campout, are the small duffel bag, day pack, troop hat, and troop t-shirts.  We are trying to keep the total cost for this logo/troop wear below $100.
