Camping Operations Order: On Saturday , we will depart from the church parking lot at SATURDAY 8:00 am. So show up about 7:30 am. We will return on Sunday about 1 pm so have cell phones on for a Remind alert. The troop is going camping on a fall campout to Camp McKee. The boys will be staying in the Offutt Adirondacks, a structure that is heated by a fire and stays warm in the coldest of weather. All the scouts will stay in the Adirondacks shelters
(or survival shelter they built) that
night. This badge will teach scouts how to take care of themselves in
the outdoors in an emergency situation. Scouts that earned
Wilderness Survival at summer camp are strongly encouraged to attend to
practice these important skills. We MAY be taking a 5 mile hike around the camp on the Pioneer Mountain Trail that surrounds the camp. We will go over what to pack on Tuesday before the campout. If you have questions email me or come to the meeting and ask. We will make sure no scout freezes. (again)
