September OA Weekend Details

Brothers,

We are just four days away from our final service weekend of 2017. We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you there. Here is the information you will need for the upcoming weekend.

Theme
The weekend theme is SPORTS! Bring your favorite sports team attire and wear it at Friday cracker barrel.

Sleeping Arrangements
We will be sleeping in cabins; plan accordingly. You will sign up for a cabin assignment when you check in on Friday evening. Those wishing to sleep outside will need to bring a tent/hammock, and will be designated a campsite at check-in.

Medicals
If September weekend is your first service weekend of the year, you will need to bring your BSA Medical (parts A & B) with you, and give it to the medics at check-in on Friday night. If you were at the April or May weekends, then we still have your medical on file, and you’re all set. Welcome back.

Travel and Detour
For those coming from southern Berks County, please be aware the bridge on PA-183 across I-78 is closed until October. You will need to follow the detour to PA-419 to get to camp. This will add 15-20 minutes on to your travel time. At the blinking yellow light in Strausstown, make a left onto Old PA 22 and follow to PA-419. Make a right onto PA-419 and follow until it re-connects with PA-183. Make a left onto PA-183 and resume travel to HMSR. If you need dinner, stop at C&C Pizza in Stausstown for some excellent food. It’s on the way!
