Scouts & Parents -

This upcoming camp is different because will have to split up for camping, since I was unable to secure enough back country camp sites.  That being said, I need six scouts that will need to camp in the state park camp sites, verses the backcountry.  We will still be using back packs and eating back pack food, it just won’t be in the back country.  Are there any scouts that would prefer to camp in the state park?  Please email me Monday if you prefer the park.  If I don’t get six to volunteer, I will have to make the call.  If you don’t have all the gear yet, then I recommend the state park camp site.  Please let me know as soon as possible. 

 

Pack gear for this trip:

1.  Backpack.

2.  Sleeping bag that will stuff into your back pack.

3.  Mess Kit

4.  Nalgene bottle.

5.  Rain poncho

6.  Head lamp or flash light.

7.  Empty gallon baggie for trash.

8.  Hat, sunscreen.
