> Buses leave camp 9AM-9:30AM, getting to the Neiman Marcus parking lot 2PM-4PM. A sack lunch will be provided. Only those who completed the “Special Diet Request Form” (and returned it to camp staff at least 3 weeks before camp), will be given alternate lunches, if needed.
MEDICAL FORMS
Those Scouts that will be doing activities with the troop such as day events or weekend camping need to fill out the A and B form. Those Scouts that will be doing extended camping such as Summer Camp need to fill out the A and B form plus the C form, which requires a physical exam. Below are PDF’s that you can save and fill out on you computer with Adobe Reader. This is nice as you do not need to hand right the forms, can be updated easily, and a new copy can be printed when needed.
