Scouts and Parents – At the bottom of this note, is the list of all that I have going on the campout this weekend to the State Park.

 

Normally, we don’t do a Parent Permission Form, but I need all the new scouts to fill one out, to make sure I have good cell numbers for each new scout parent.  See the attached form.

 

The scouts will complete their menus and decide on who is buying food and being the head cook (rank requirements) – it won’t be a new scout.  For food, every scout (and camping adult) needs to bring $10 to the meeting this Tuesday, or I will collect in the parking lot on Friday.

 

I hope all the new scouts have the gear they need?  We will discuss again this Tuesday night.  It is looking rainy for this weekend, so everyone definitely needs to bring a rain poncho.  Please don’t bring the $2 plastic throw away version.  Get a descent one from Academy, they will last for years.

 

We will leave the church at 5:30, try and be there around 5:15.  Returning Sunday around 12:00 noon.  New parents, we always meet back in the church parking lot, far East end so to not interfere with the church service.   We also always travel in our Class A uniform, but take them off when we get to the camp.  If you have a Class B (Scout T-shirt), we wear them at the camp.  Plain T shirts are fine if Class B not available.

 

We will provide tents for the scouts, parents need to bring their own.  Scouts do not sleep with parents, unless we have a capacity issue.  

 

I will have a breakout session Tuesday night with the new parents to talk about what you will need and how to operate on a campout.
