CSR 50^th Anniversary Capital Campaign-
Dr. Curtis E. Patterson Provisional Troop Campsite

Pictured is Doc Patterson

In honor of the 50^th anniversary, through a targeted and focused capital campaign, we will raise $25,000 to improve Ossipee Campsite – the provisional troop campsite. In addition to celebrating the 50^th anniversary, we will honor the contributions of longtime volunteer camp staff member and Assistant Provisional Scoutmaster “Doc” Patterson by naming the campsite in his memory – the Doctor Curtis E. Patterson Provisional Troop Campsite.

The campsite improvements include building 5 Adirondacks; upgrading the existing shelter with electrical outlets, LED lights, and ceiling fans; and establishing a permanent gateway.

We ask all legacy Friends of Scouting donors, to make their FOS gifts first and consider making a second gift to the 50^th Anniversary Capital Campaign.

Naming opportunities for the 5 Adirondacks, existing shelter, and the gateway are available. All donors will be listed in the digital donor honor roll on the camp website. Donors who make contributions at $100 or more will receive a 50^th Anniversary chenille.

Pledges and contributions can be made using this pledge card. Or, you can submit your contribution via the web.

If you are interested in naming opportunities, please contact Camp Director Bud Harrelson at bud.harrelson@scouting.org.
