February Updates by Jason Cruz 2/5/13 10:35 AM We have something new to let you know about Merit Badge Signups. As in previous years we ask all troops to get your March payment of $85 per person (both you and adults) into our office no later than March 15th. We have in the past also had that as the start day for merit badge signups. However this year we are making a small change: First is that in order for your troop to start signing up scouts and adults for classes at Camp Chawanakee you will have to have your March Payment receipted into the Fresno Office. To make sure that our Fresno Office has enough time to process all the payments we are pushing the start date for Merit Badge Signups back to Wednesday March 20th. Once we receive your payment we will enable signups for your troop on www.chawanakee.com. In order to make sure your troop is ready to go you need to make sure to get your payment in on time if not earlier. This only affects your unit’s ability to sign up for classes. You can still register the youth and adults who are coming to camp now. If you have any questions regarding Merit Badge Signups or payments you can always call the Fresno Scout Office at (559) 320-2100 and talk with Joseph in our camping department. We also would like to spread the word the Camp Chawanakee is now accepting applications for seasonal camp staff and counselors in training (CIT). To apply to be a counselor in training you must be a mature 14 year old or 15 year old registered in scouting and available to work for 2 consecutive weeks during the summer operation. CITs are not a paid position, but the hours can be used as service hours. This is an exciting program to prepare youth who are interested in become seasonal camp staff members in future years. To apply for seasonal camp staff you must be at least 16 years old, though there are positions that require some staff to be 18+. To apply you can find either the CIT or Seasonal Camp Staff application at http://seqbsa.org/camp%20chawanakee.htm. This is a great opportunity for older youth and young adults, and serving on camp staff makes memories that last a life time. If you have further questions about staffing at Camp Chawanakee, you can contact Jason Cruz, Camp Director, at (559) 260-7025, or Michael Foster, Business Manager/Assistant Camp Director, at (559) 917-4593. Both can also be reached at the Fresno Scout Office at (559) 320-2100. Don’t forget these upcoming dates:
