Camp Troop - Resident Camp
Can't go to camp with your troop? Want to spend more than one week at camp?
Need to finish up partials from other camps? Looking to meet new Scouts?
Just looking for a fun time without advancement in mind?
Don’t know how to do it?
Well the answer may be as simple as linking up with our Camp Troop!
Attending summer camp with your troop is a great experience for all Boy
Scouts. If you cannot go to camp with your troop or you would
just like more weeks at camp, we invite you to spend a week or more
with our Camp Troop. It does not matter where your troop is
camping. If you are already camping at Camp Somers, come for
another week. If not, come check us out!
What is a Camp Troop
Camp Troop is a regular resident summer camp experience for all Scouts. Have a fun time with sailing, shooting, ATVs, paintball, archery, climbing, mountain biking, COPE and other camp activities. Work on merit badges or finish up partials. Get a chance to meet new Scouts. You can come for one or more weeks as an individual or bring some of your Scouting friends.
How Does Camp Troop Work at Camp Somers
At Camp Somers, a Camp Troop Scout will join one of the troops spending the week at Camp Somers. He will become a member of that troop and will be able to enjoy the companionship of other Scouts and participate with them in activities and merit badges. Troop assignments are done one week prior to the arrival of your son.
If your son wishes to be placed with a particular troop, it is the parent’s responsibility to make such arrangements directly with that troop’s leader prior to coming to camp. You must then contact Tom Stoddard at 973-347-3266 or 2240 one week prior to your son’s arrival. Otherwise the camp will place your son with an available troop, and that placement will be final.
If your son wishes to be placed with a particular Scout, please note this on the registration form, or contact Tom Stoddard at 973-347-3266 or 2240 at least one week prior to arrival.
We provide the program, the leadership, the meals, the campsite and the Scouting.
All you do is provide the Scout.
