March Campout at Camp Durant

Posted on Feb 27 2010 - 9:40pm

Troop

Scouts,

The March camping trip will have us down at Camp Durant in Carthage, NC.

There will be a short (<5 miles) bicycling trip. Each scout will need to bring a bicycle, helmet and shoes for bicycling. If anyone has extra bicycles they may be needed by a fellow scout. If you don't have a bicycle contact Mr. Bergfors or Mr Kibbe so we can help find one for you. The bicycling will be on the dirt roads in Camp Durant so a bicycle that can handle riding on dirt, gravel and some sand will work best.

Spring District Camporee

Scouts;

This is a camporee you probably do not want to miss, as I have been talking with counsel and this is going to be one of the best camporees we have had in a long time. If you have had any hesitation in attending this camporee, give it another thought, as I have been told they are going all out for this one.

Attached is the Merit Badge College information that we received for specialized Merit Badge classes being held at NC State lead by experts at State. It is a great opportunity to get some one day concentrated MB work on technical badges like Chemistry, Composite Materials etc.

February Orienteering Trip - Information & Permission Form

Dear Scouts and Parents,

The February campout takes us back to Camp Campbell for a weekend of orienteering (compass and map reading), backpacking, astronomy and other scout fun. This is a backpacking weekend, however, the trail length will be less than 5 miles. Scouts need to pack and carry everything they need, including tent, clothing and food. Pack for cold and wet conditions, but be sure to keep your pack weight down to a minimum (target 25% of body mass or less).
