Come Experience Camp Tonkawa this Summer!

Published on February 17, 2013 by in Activity, Council Office

Dear Unit Leader:
The Summer Camp season for 2013 is quickly approaching. The summer camp staff is looking forward to another great year at Camp Tonkawa. Here is a copy of the Leader Guidebook and Summer Camp Forms. Please read it carefully. There are several changes that will affect your unit’s registration and stay at summer camp. Our goal is to provide your Scouts with the greatest summer camp experience possible. We hope that you will find the changes very beneficial to the Scouts and the Scouting program.

The Texas Trails Council supports the idea that no Scout should be deprived of a summer camp experience due to financial circumstances. Partial camperships are available to Scouts in the Texas Trails Council. Please contact the Council office or contact your District Executive concerning the Campership Program.

Remember that this Leader Guidebook will be your map to a successful summer camp experience within your troop. Read it carefully and thoroughly. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your District Executive.

Yours in Scouting,
Ronnie Riddle
Camping Committee Chair
