Summer is fast approaching. To make sure you and your troop are prepared, we ask that each troop sends a representative to one of our leader orientation meetings.

Meetings will be held in the Camp Workcoeman Dining Hall on May 6th and 20th beginning at 1:30 PM. An additional meeting for Long Island troops will be held May 13th beginning at 10 AM in the Notre Dame Parish Rectory (45 Mayfair Rd, New Hyde Park, NY 11040).
