We are pleased to offer this resource to all members of the Troop 100 Family. If you are looking for information about Troop 100 we invite you to read about our troop in the About Us page and use the Contact Us page if you have more questions.
Troop 100 has been guiding young men for 50 years and making an impact on their lives as they in turn make an impact on the community through their progress in the Scouting program. Today Troop 100 has had over 130 Eagle Scouts join the ranks of so many before them and we look forward to having you join them as you set your sights on your future growth.

Signup for summer camp merit badges begins at our troop meeting this week. At Camp Baker the troop will go to the six activity areas as a group, twice during the week, on a rotating schedule, so that each Scout must choose at least one merit badge or activity at each activity area: shooting sports, aquatics, scout skills, nature, handicraft, and COPE/Climbing. Two sessions are also reserved for Dunes/Campsite. This week we will review the merit badges/activities and the Scouts can indicate their preferences and consider whether they would like to do badges with a buddy or as a group. The troop will the enter the Scout's choices in the online troop signup for Camp Baker.
At Camp Melakwa, the troop will go to five activity areas, three times during the week for shorter periods, with each Scout choosing at least one merit badge or activity for each area: shooting sports, aquatics, scout skills, nature, crafts, and climbing. This year the Trail to First Class will be conducted by the troops in their campsites at Camp Melakwa.
Neither camp will offer Lifesaving Merit Badge this year, so Troop 100 will explore independent instruction at another time. The merit badges are listed in the Leader's Guides for both camps at otcbsa.org, click Camps, then Camp Baker or Melakwa.
Signup continues for Camp Baker (July 11-17) and Camp Melakwa (August 8-14). An annual medical exam is required to attend these camps for more than 72 hours. Go to otcbsa.org, click Camping, click Camp Baker or Melakwa, click Annual Health and Medical Record to print out the form. If you already had your exam with Dr. Williams at a troop meeting, but took the form home, be sure to bring your form back to the troop this week fully filled out with insurance and health history.
Scouts going to Camp Baker must attach a copy of their Covid vaccination + 12 to their health history. If not vaccinated, you must pass a Covid test 24-36 hours prior to your arrival at camp or self isolate for 14 days prior to arriving at camp. R.N. Suzanne Rodriquez volunteered to manage the medical forms this year and will be at Camp Baker. Please advise Suzanne of any dietary restrictions as soon as possible so that they can be reported now for camp dining hall planning. There is a form to fill out for the Camp Baker kitchen which can be printed from Leader's Guide.
For Camp Melakwa, note dietary restrictions in the medical form, as the troop will be providing the food in the campsite. At departure for both camps, a pre-event Covid Screening will be completed and a Covid Waiver must be parentally signed. On departure, medications must be given to the Troop Medical Officer (Suzanne) in their original containers with any additional dosing instructions (a zip lock bag works for multiple medication containers). Should Oregon "reopen" at 70% with first shot before camp, we will advise of any changes.
Order forms are now being accepted this year for Troop T-shirts and clothing with the troop logos. Please fill out the attached form and submit at troop meetings or to Sheridan Haggas as indicated. Payment will be from your Scout Activity Allowance.
