Signing Up for Campouts
Think of weekends of hiking, campfires and sleeping under the stars, and you visions of boy scout forms and other paperwork probably do not immediately pop into your head. Yet, before we can head out on our adventures, there are some administrative tasks to do. For scouts and their parents, especially those new to the troop, it can be a little unclear which forms we need and to whom they must be submitted. To make the paperwork process easier, we have put together a checklist. So before you pull out your backpack and start planning your outdoor menu, go through the checklist below to make sure that you have taken care of the necessary paperwork. If you have questions about forms and paperwork, feel free to send an email to activities@troop1018.org.
