Camping Trip--Footwear and Pots and Pans

Please be sure to bring an extra pair of shoes and at least two extra pairs of socks.  You will be going on a hike (NO SANDALS OR OPEN TOED SHOES PERMITTED.)

 

Also, we will need several large pots and pans.  These should be old and something you don't care about if they are burned beyond recognition.

 

We are having two Webelos guests (Forrest's brother and his buddy) visit us on Saturday.  They'll be checking out the troop (they will be moving up to Boy Scouts in a few months).

Camping Trip--Bring Along ONE Board Game

It might be chilly and rainy during the camping trip.  Please bring along ONE board game to play (it should be a game for two or more people). Nothing electronic, please.  Also, Scout rules do not permit gambling--so no poker (even just for fun).

Camping Trip Rules Reminder

Troop 95 Camping Trip Rules

There is absolutely no teasing, hazing, bullying, or disrespectful behavior permitted.

Older Scouts should help younger Scouts. 

All boys must adhere to a quiet time.  This may be hard for you to imagine, but the parents need a bit of downtime in the evening.  The Scoutmaster will set the quiet time.  The Junior Leaders (Hunter, Bobby, Kyle, and Justin) will enforce the quiet time.

No destruction of food (more than $12 worth of cereal was purposely damaged on the last campout).

Use the Buddy System.

Be safe.

Have fun.

 

December Camping Trip--Camp Norse
