Can we bring a tent to sleep in

When will morning leaders be...before breakfast, after breakfast, later in the morning?

Yes, you may bring your own private tent

If they are in the afternoon Cooking MB class, will they still be able to attend the required Monday Handicraft session?

morning leaders meeting will be right after 2nd breakfast

For those vaccinated, do you want us to bring a copy of their vaccine card?

the big greeen canvas tents will be available. not cots. if you want a personal ten, you may bring one.

What's the definition of "recently" in regards to "recently tested positive?"

so a positive test means that person goes home but their troop, assuming they are negative, just need to be careful but stays at camp, correct?

Afternoon Handicraft. Sign-up at camp? Cost?

Can brown sea island participants do the afternoon handicraft?

are all of the swim check slots been taken for Sunday?

sully, for some weeks, yes the Sunday swim check sots are full. for other weeks they are still open. need to check that on blackpug for your week.

👍

afternoon handicraft MB's take 1 hr class during free time on Monday. Scouts will do on their own throughout the week. recommended to do no more than 1 or 2.

Are there any other MB's classes offered besides the independent ones at Handicraft?

I was told that for MB credit in the 3 day sessions, you need to send a signed blue card with your Scout.

For Astonomy, are there any daytime classes or are they all at night?

Are there prerequisites for the Astronomy MB

have had scouts with spread out schedules. Some classes marked them absent because they were late. Is this going to be an issue AGAIN this year??

Astronomy does not have any prerequisites

Bring protective straps that do not cut into the tree. The hammock also needs to be hung where it is not a hazard.

sully, that sounds like I will be training the staff to pay attention to late and not absent. we will work on that

Geronimo water tastes GREAT. !!!

Urine needs to be CC-- Clear and copious

ALSO--use the potties and keep the seats DOWN and the LIDS CLOSED. This stops flies and some smell.

Please label your water bottles with Name and troop, many are lost each summer and not collected from lost and found

Based on the presentation, it was presented that the caravan tents are not for the leaders. Is that correct?

If there are spares in your site, you are welcome to use them.

Pamela asked me to respond for her on the tents, sites are assigned out based on scout numbers for tents, scouts have priority on tents, if there are tents left after all scouts assigned to site from all units have a tent assigned then adults can use the tents

So, the adults should plan on bring a tent just in case

Yes, adults should plan on bringing a tent. Better to be prepared.

mike. yes. actually I bring a hammock but that's my preference

I believe it is just expected to be worn at dinner...correct me if I am wrong.

full field uniform (class a) expected at dinner and evening flags.

morning flags is not expected UNLESS you are doing the ceremony itself

The Permission slips are on the Geronimo website under the Forms & Resources. It might say 2021, but it is still good for 2022.

When does the Big G checklist come out?

If your troop did not get to sign up to do flag ceremony for the full camp, you can always do a flag ceremony in your campsite which will count for Big G.

I believe there was an email sent out to all Registrant Contacts with a copy of Big G. You may need to ask to have that forwarded to you if you are not that contact person.

We really appreciate all the units that came up in the Spring to do service projects, some great work has been done and I’m sure more will happen during camp.

the big g list is recently completed, I think we will make it public in the next day or two

We sent it via email right before Downhill, but you can also find it here: https://scoutingevent.com/attachment/BSA010/document_16522919180_11327.pdf

ooopss... yep, the big g requirements are already public.

👍

We donate too many things at the end of summer. Please put NAME/TROOP

if they have a partial MB done, can they complete the rest of it at Geronimo without having to signup for the class. Example- shooting sports?

Awesome Doug...so much wisdom and examples from your experience at camp.

so a positive test means that person goes home but their troop, assuming they are negative, just need to be careful but stays at camp, correct?

Is there a separate fee for Horse ride ?

For troops showing up on Saturday will dinner and Sunday breakfast be offered

How do you show proof of completed merit badges

Trail ride fees are $20 per

There is a fee for trail rides. You can register for trail rides under the registrant contact. The fee is $20 a person.

If you come up Saturday, bring food for your entire unit to cover Sautrday and Sunday breakfast and lunch.

Where will this recording be posted so we can review it?

We have some scouts signed up for CIT, separately from the unit camp week. I haven't seen much information on this. Do we just bring them up on the Sunday before their CIT session?

Parital Merit Badges: If you have partial MB's, you can work with the staff during the afternoon open sessions. Bring blue cards for those scouts so that the staff can sign off on the specific items that were completed at camp.

We signed up for a trail ride as a troop and paid for everyone (18 slots) in advance. If we only have 15 that end up wanting to go, would we be refunded for the other 3 spots?

CIT-The Leader's Guide states that they should arrive on Sunday between 11 am and Noon. We want to get them settled before the big rush in the afternoon.

If a scout is signed up for both First Aid and Emergency Preparedness, can they still do EP if the First Aid will not be completed until the end of the week?

I believe this item is on the inspection sheet. Old commissioner here.

The Pre-requisite for EP is First Aid so no. They can take EP the next year.

I usually give them a speech about how flies eat. After that they never forget to close the lid.

Is there a specific time we need to vacate on the final Saturday?

Sorry to repeat a question, but Rob also asked this earlier, and I didn't see an answer. If a scout tests positive for Covid, are they sent home?

You need to be out of camp by 10 AM on Saturday. You will work with your commissioner to schedule a check out time.

Thanks!
