A week at Camp Woodruff is one of the best deals out there:

• 
  Total $350.00 per Scout (less popcorn and pine straw credits, if any)
  
• 
  Fee can be made in two payments ($100 due February 8, with the remaining $250 due by May 1)
  
• 
  Checks must be payable to BSA Troop 370
  

We will coordinate transportation for all Scouts that are interested. We will meet at St. James at 9:30 am on Sunday, June 10, and leave promptly at 10:30 am. Please send your scout with a sack lunch. Also make sure he has easy access to his bathing suit.

We travel in BSA Class A uniforms. Make sure your scout packs a hanger because he will wear his Class A shirt every day.

During camp, the boys should wear their Troop t-shirt, or other appropriate t-shirts, and scout shorts. Shoes must be worn at all times. No sandals or open toe shoes are allowed. Remember to bring old tennis shoes for the river!

Money/Trading Post

There will be little need for money at camp. Nor will there be any place they can lock their money up. We will have snacks and drinks at camp around the clock. However, Scouts may purchase handicraft materials and toilet articles at the Trading Post (and maybe an ice cream or two!) $25-30 should be plenty.

Scouts may receive mail (and goodies!) at the following address while at camp:

You are encouraged to come spend the week at Woodruff. There are complete Adult Training opportunities. If you can not come for the entire week, please consider coming either Sunday through Tuesday evening, or Wednesday evening through Friday. We expect 80+ boys this year. Last year we had 17 adults spend the entire week at camp, and we need an equal number of volunteers again this year. So submit those vacation requests now!

There will be extremely limited access to the Ocoee River trip for adults. Please do not schedule your days at Woodruff expecting an Ocoee trip as these will likely not be available

Patrols

We will elect a Camp Senior Patrol Leader, and create Camp Patrols with Camp Patrol Leaders. We will camp, eat, and function by Patrols. We will sleep in platform tents on cots provided by the camp; two Scouts per tent. Each day we will determine which is the best Patrol.
