For our October outing, we’ll be traveling to Camp Falling Rock on Friday(10/24)  after meeting at the Church at 6 PM. We’ll have a snack (eat before arriving at the Church) and spend the night in tents.

During the day on Saturday, Scouts will compete in two teams to produce the best breakfast, lunch and dinner for the Scouts and Adults. Time will be available to work on other Scout requirements during the day.

On Sunday, we’ll pack up, clean up and drive back to Bexley, arriving back at about 11:00 AM.

The cost for the outing will be $30 which includes camping, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.

Reminders:

  • We travel in class “A” uniforms (pants, shirts, socks and belts).
  • Bring your Boy Scout Handbook.
  • Do not bring food. The current plan is for Adults to buy food for the Troop for this outing.
  • Do not bring phones or other electronics. Adults will have phones for emergencies.
  • Eat dinner before arriving at the Church at 6 PM on Friday.
  • Plan to bring a tent or share a tent. Tenting arrangements should be made during Troop meetings before the outing.
  • We will need adults to drive to and from then outing and/or to provide supervision for the outing.

–> Oct 27 – M – Troop Meeting, Board of Review – 7:30P

Last scheduled Board of Review (opportunity for rank advancement) until January. If your Scout is close to finishing a rank, now is the time for him to push ahead to the finish line.

Please let me know if there are questions or concerns.
