2025 Summer Camp
July 6-15, 2025
Each summer, Troop 4 takes a group of scouts and leaders to a 10-day camp at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation. Consider joining us - we have a blast!
The H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, located in Osceola, Missouri, is home to over 6,600 Boy Scouts and 3,000 leaders each summer. The 4,200 acre reservation consists of three camps Lone Star, Sawmill, and Piercing Arrow and the Osage Wilderness Trail. The H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation has been a summer home to Scouting and it’s honor camping program the Tribe of Mic-O-Say since 1929.
This page has been created as a guide to help campers and parents through what to expect for Summer Camp.
As we get closer, we will be sharing more information to ensure everyone is updated and informed. Please be sure and check your e-mail.
PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
Health Forms and Medical Information
BSA Medical Forms (Parts A, B, C)
All scouts must complete BSA Medical Forms A, B, and C before attending camp.
The deadline to submit these forms to Troop 4 is June 16, 2025.
Forms will not be accepted after June 16. If not submitted on time, scouts will need to turn in their forms directly at camp. There are no exceptions.
Important Details:
Part C of the Health Form is valid if dated on or after August 1, 2024.
Tetanus Immunization: Participants must have a valid tetanus shot within the last 10 years to attend camp.
Submission Instructions:
Submit a paper copy of the health forms along with a copy of the front and back of the scout’s health insurance card to Tracy Keel.
Each vaccine must be handwritten on the form—printed vaccination records are not accepted.
Form Requirements:
Forms must be physical paper copies. Digital copies are not accepted.
Do not request to email or text the forms. We cannot print them, and it is against BSA policy to store or transfer this information digitally.
Most medical facilities can make copies for you.
Medication Information:
If you would like leaders to administer prescription or over-the-counter medications, you must complete the Authorization to Dispense Medication Form.
All medications must:
Be in their original packaging with clear dosage instructions.
Be submitted before camp.
For medications needing special considerations (e.g., refrigeration), please inform us well in advance.

If your scout requires special foods or accommodations, notify us as soon as possible.

Camp is equipped with a medical clinic staffed by volunteer physicians and nurses, as well as a helipad for emergencies.
Thank you for your cooperation!
EMERGENCY ALERT TEXT
The emergency text alert messaging system will be operational again this summer. This service is provided by Heart of America Council. Troop 4 leadership has no control over this service. Subscribers of this free service will be sent severe weather or camp emergency updates to their mobile phone. Click here to register.
$ MONEY $
Scouts can buy things at the trading post (candy, drinks, chips, etc) and will need to pay for any additional fees for certain merit badges and outposts (we will get a list to you closer to camp). It's a good idea to spread out their spending so scouts don't spend all their money at once on day 1 (it has been known to happen!). Please only send a few dollars, there is no need for large amounts of cash at camp. If campers would like to buy items like shirts/water bottle they can do so on Family Day or on the last day of camp when parents are there.
MAIL CALL!
Scouts really enjoy our daily mail-call. You can send your scout mail through the Post Office or you can give Melissa Manie any mail at the start of camp and she will pass out during mail call. Please make sure your campers name is on all mail as well as what day it should be handed out (day 1, day 2, etc).
