Summer Camp 2023

Melita Island, Montana

July 22 - 30

Troop 88 Summer Camp

​

Troop 88 is going to Melita Island in Montana for summer camp on July 22 - 30. Cost will be $500 per scout plus the costs of transportation, food during travel, and 2 nights at a KOA. We will be staying one night each way at a KOA in Billings, Montana. In order to register your scout for summer camp, each scout needs to pay a $250 down payment and their scout account needs to have a positive balance. Scout account balances are located towards the bottom of each scout's profile on Scoutbook. Once we register your scout in the summer camp system, there are no refunds.

We are only allowed to take 1 adult for every 4 scouts that attend. The cost for adults to attend summer camp is $275 plus transportation costs. If you are interested in going as an adult, please let me know how many seats you have in your vehicle. We may also be looking for adults that would be willing to drive but not attend the camp. Glacier National Park is close to camp. 

​

This will be an amazing adventure for the boys.  They will be camping, completing merit badges, strengthening their connections as a troop, and have non-stop fun and adventure.

​

Each scout will be able to take up to 4 merit badge classes (options listed below).  

​

** For Scouts New to the Troop:  Welcome to Troop 88!  We are super excited to have your boys join us.  For many scouts, summer camp is by far the best experience in a scout's first year in BSA.  They develop a ton of independence, have immeasurable fun, and develop strong bonds with the other scouts in the troop.  And, the boys knock out many of the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second and First Class Rank Advancement.  It truly is an amazing time for the boys and adults who attend.
