I'm David Harder, Hudson's dad. I'm helping coordinate the planning for Camp Tom Hale summer camp for our troop this summer. The Camp will run the first week the camp is open, June 2-8.<br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0,

Registration starts today and ends on May 1. In order to be guarenteed enrollment in the merit badges you want, registration must be completed before May 1. Therefore, please look through the offerings and see which ones you want to take. Each scout may sign up for four merit badges (note--some activities require two merit badge time-units). Notice that there are some extra merit badges are offered during free time. I would encourage scouts to take some of those as well. To see which merit badges you can take, go to the Camp Tom Hale website and read through the leader's guide: http://www.halescoutreservation.org/pdf/2013%20Leaders%20Guide.pdf<br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica,
sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">I will officially register all the merit badges for our troop, you don't have to do it individually. But I will need to know which ones you want to take. <br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">Please take the next two weeks to decide and let me know by April 15 which ones you will take. I'll then be able to enroll everyone before the deadline. If you know earlier, feel free to email your choices to me.
