Summer Camp 2020 Update
We are excited to share good news today! This morning the Lake Erie Council Executive Board with the approval of the state voted to commence operations at Beaumont Scout Reservation for Scouts BSA Resident camp. This means that we will be operating summer camp this summer!
Yesterday, we were all waiting in anticipation of an announcement about resident camps during the daily press conference of Governor Dewine. Between 3:00 PM and 5:18 PM, it seemed that all hope was extinguished for offering summer camp this year. However, at 5:19 PM we received a signed order from Dr. Amy Acton with opening procedures giving resident camps permission to open immediately. Our operations plan, which was submitted to the Ashtabula County Board of Health, mimics the opening procedures provided to us by the state.
All of this being said, we are excited to get started this summer. If your troop hasn't registered for Beaumont Scout Reservation BSA Resident camp yet, you can do so by contacting Philip Williams or Noah Boksansky. There are a couple of notes below that you should keep in mind.
Please make sure that you and your Scouts are checking temperatures 14-days before arrival. Attached below is the form for tracking temperatures before arrival.
The program that was released last week will be closely followed, however, patrols of 8 or less must stay consistent throughout the week. Additionally, patrols camping at the campsite will need to be separated to follow the procedures outlined in the letter from the state.
Troops using troop lodges will need to use room separators for separating campers. Up to 10 campers can stay in each room.
More information will be coming, but I am so excited to be able to offer Summer Camp this year!
Tonight at 8:00 PM, the LEC team will be hosting a Facebook live on the LEC Facebook page to give further details.
