Rainey Mountain 2002
Home - Printable copy of this page (Word Document)
WHEN: July 7-13, 2001. We will plan to meet at the Church, in uniform, around 9 am on Sunday July 7. We will likely return by noonish on Saturday, July 13.
There will be a meeting for Rainey Mountain participants and parents during the regular Tuesday meeting time on July 2.
WHERE: Camp Rainey Mountain, Clayton, GA. We have the Clarksville campsite reserved, which is our usual place. This site has adirondacks with bunk beds for sleeping, plus they will have to put up some platform tents for our additional members.
Directions and other information about Camp Rainey Mountain can be found at the Northeast Georgia Council website
Camp address for mail:
Name of Scout, Troop 149
Camp Rainey Mountain
1494 Rainey Mountain Rd
Clayton, GA 30525
Telephone, for emergency use only: (706) 782-3733
A pay phone is available, but only with adult supervision. Please do not ask or encourage your Scout to call home and do not send a cell phone to camp with your Scout! This tends to make homesickness more of a problem.
THINGS TO BRING ALONG:
- Scouts and Adults will need a full medical examination. If you have had a Scout one done in the past three years, it is still valid (except for adults over 40!). (Check with the Scoutmaster if you're not sure.) Turn this in to the Scoutmaster before going to camp.
- We need to know what medication your Scout is bringing. Medications will be held by an adult at camp. (exception for asthma rescue inhalers)
- Uniform: Scout shirt, Scout shorts, Scout belt, Scout socks, Scout
hat, Scouting t-shirts, including blue Class B shirt(s)
- medical form, including insurance #, parents signature, and SS#
- extra clothing socks, underwear, shoes/boots, and other. It is
especially important to have enough socks and extra shoes or sandals, so
your feet stay relatively dry in case of rain! Open toed shoes (such as sandals) can only be worn at the water front or in the bath house.
- sweater or jacket (it does get cool in the evenings)
- sleeping bag and pillow
- poncho or rain gear!
- swim suit
- soap, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, other
toiletries as needed
- towels
- Scout Handbook, pens, pencils, notebooks, and Merit Badge
Pamphlets for classes you're in
- money for crafts, Trading Post, snacks, etc.; some Merit Badges
require money for supplies
- misc. like cameras, compass, knapsack, flashlight, non-aerosol
insect repellent, sunscreen, pocket knives, fishing gear, etc.
- There may be additional things needed for specific Merit Badges.
Check with Beverly J.
- Adults camping with us may wish to provide their own tents.
Do NOT bring: cell phones, radios, tape players, electronics, sheath knives, things in aerosol cans, dangerous or non-Scoutlike stuff
The Boy Scout Office in Pendergrass is closed the week of July 4, so if you need merit badge books, uniform parts, etc., you should plan to get them before that week. Some items will be available at the CRM trading post, but supplies are sometimes slim. The Scout store in Athens has been closed permanently.
PARENTS: Wednesday night is Family Night; if you'd like to come and visit (Campfire: 8:30 p.m.). Parents may take their sons out to eat (provided they check out at the Admin Building and are back by 8 p.m.) or may pre-purchase a meal at the Dining Hall. We will probably also go out with
Scouts who don't have a parent visiting, after the flag ceremony.
Scoutmaster Paul M and Don S will be at camp all week this year. Several
others (Jim B, Babbie R...) will also be spending all or part of the week in camp. Let us know if you would like to spend part of the week there too! Thanks!
