PARENTS, send your Scouts mail (and send it today)! Address it to Scout Name, Troop #17 June 19 - June 25 Worth Ranch Boy Scout Camp P.O. Box 27 Palo Pinto, TX 76484 If you have a family emergency during the week, I will have my cell phone (817-239-0166) or you can contact the camp office at 940-659-2195. Once again, for emergencies only. Scouts may not leave camp with anyone but their parent or legal guardian. If you want to have someone else pick them up on Saturday, please let me know now. Prescription medication must be in the original bottle from the pharmacy and must include the name of the Scout, the date, the name of the prescribing doctor, and the correct dosage. They will be taken to the Health Lodge for proper storage. Scouts should know what to take and when to take it. For medications for life threatening conditions (inhalers, allergy kits, etc), Scouts should carry these themselves, just like they would outside of camp. Over the counter medication will be maintained in the Troop first aid kit. The name of the Scout should be on the package. For those wanting to eat in the dining hall on parents night (THURSDAY), I need a count before you leave on Sunday (you can also email it to me now). Please plan on being at WR at 6:00pm to eat in the dining hall. Adults are $8 and siblings under 10 are $5. By Thursday, your Scout may want food from the "outside world" so be sure to check with them now. No persons under the age of 18 are permitted to drive on Scout property. ADULTS Camping with us - bring a copy of your YPT card WITH YOU showing you took the course within the last two years. You will also be required to sign in and out when you arrive and leave camp. I also need your birthdates. Please call my office phone (469-420-3404) and leave a message with your birth date. I am flying back to Texas Friday night and will pick up the messages when I get home. I need it before we get to camp. ...and finally... be sure to read the gear list posted on the website. After you read it, read it again to be sure you have what you need. This is the 82nd year of summer camps at WR. They know what they are doing and our gear list follows their guidelines. This is going to be a great summer camp! We have almost 60 Scouts attending this year. I look forward to seeing you all at Worth on Sunday. Mr. Turner
