Goshen Planning Meeting - Update

Today I emailed a follow up message to our Goshen Planning Meeting. Thanks to all those who attended, participated, and listened so patiently. I attached the following items:

Goshen Prep Meeting Agenda / Outline
Attendee List (including payment and form information - if it's not checked off, you need to get it to me)
Summer Camp Essentials (packing list)
Supply Volunteer Sign-up (with volunteer names)
Waiver form (please sign and return if you have not already; only fill out insurance information if you are driving)
Quick checklist


Immediate updates: Please get all forms and payments to me by Saturday, June 7. You can mail the forms to:


Victor Bieniek
3430 Reedy Dr
Annandale, VA 22003-1136

Payment is now:
Youth: 270
Adult: 175

Forms are:
Heath forms for adults AND youth
State forms for adults and youth
Permission / waiver form

If you cannot get forms and payments to me by June 7, please let me know when you will get them to me. After June 7 I will begin the painful process of pestering you until I receive your information. Please spare us both!

The following folks who could not attend should call me so that we can review key points from the meeting:
Tom Conroy
Martin Johnson
Frank Vasquez
Chuck Stolze

We have 15 scouts and 11 adults attending - great turnout! We have a great bunch of boys attending.

For all those attending remember to get in shape! Walking and swimming are the best. If you work in a building that has stairs, walk 'em. Remember that both you and your scout must pass the swim test to take part in waterfront activities. That includes a stretch of elementary back stroke. The swim test is explained here:

Again, you don't need to buy much gear. The boys do need water shoes. I recommend mosquito netting. Some boys drink more with the novelty of a Camelback or something similar.

As always, please feel free to call me anytime with any questions or concerns.
