When our scout troop worked the parking lot at Santa-Cali-Gon, it was very interesting. This was probably the best year that I have worked there because it made me experience the chaos of Santa-Cali-Gon. I got the experience to sell trash bags to people walking by, though not many were sold. Many, many cars were parked, and that helped out our troop a lot with the funds for overnights and other activities that we get to do.
Santa-Cali-Gon is a very diverse time of the year in the city. Many people from our community come to see the sights like the famous root beer stand or the makeshift amusement park with a gigantic ferris wheel. I also learned that people will go to extreme lengths to park, even if it is illegal. It is very funny to see by the way.
In conclusion, it was a very fun time for me this year. I will bet to you that all of the scouts that came to help work it had a lot of fun. And to all of the scouts that didn’t come, you missed out on some fun times.

So here we are, the first camp season of the NEXT 100 yrs. of scouting. I hope everyone is looking forward to it like I am. Looks like everyone will be looking forward to time in the pool. First year campers, basketry, woodworking and leatherwork. Second, third, forth, fifth and sixth year campers will be looking forward to Swimming merit badge for some, Lifesaving for others. Lakefront, Rifle shooting, & shotguns for others. One of the best activities is the hikes with Mr. Gramlich. I will be looking forward to seeing scouts and leaders hear their names called to become new tribesman in the great Tribe of Mic-O-Say and those who hear their named called for elevation and those who get additional responsibilities. These items come along as you get older take on responsibilities and show leadership with in your troop. 10 days of great fun is almost here. See all of you on Sunday July 24, 2011.
Troop 282 has created a NEW Scout Camp resource page for Boy Scout Summer Camp at the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation.
You will find forms, links, and important information that you will need if you are attending Summer Camp. There is also a Scout Camp Merit Badge Sign-Up Form, Schedule and all the Merit Badge advance preparation paperwork.
Click on this > 2011 Scout Camp resource link or the one located under "Pages" to the left to get to the Scout Camp resource page.
Merit Badge Sign-up will begin at the Scout Meeting on Monday, May 2, 2011.
We would like to ask all the Scouts to go to the resource page and fill out the Merit Badge Sign-Up Form and print out the advance preparation worksheets if the Merit Badge requires advance work. Bring your Merit Badge Sign-Up Form filled out and the advance preparation worksheets to the May 2 Scout Meeting. All sheets need to have your name printed neatly on them. The advance preparation worksheets will need to be completed and turned in no later than June 20 to either Mr. Parker or Mr. England.
1st year campers you will be signing up for Leatherwork, Wood Carving and Basketry as your Merit Badges to start with at summer camp. Once you have completed these three and if there is time you can sign up for another Merit Badge while at camp. You will also be working on Rank requires for Tenderfoot, 2nd Class and 1st Class while at camp.
Second year campers you need to be signing up for Swimming, Environmental Science and Camping Merit Badges as all three of these Merit badges are Eagle required.
If you have any questions or problems, please see Mr England or Mr. Parker at a Scout Meeting.
Thanks,
