Camping 2015
We're excited about this year's camping schedule. Please add these dates to your calendar.
Also, we love when dads come along. All scout fathers are always invited to the campout with your son. For all you dads out there, please find at least 1 to 2 campouts this year you can attend with your scout.

· Campout leave time is Friday 4:30pm. If your scout is late, he misses his ride.
· He must have a completed permission form (link here).
· He must have a completed permission form (link here).
· Campout menu plan, transportation arrangement, permission slips, Tour Permits, etc are shared Wed before a campout. Unless you arrange it separately, if the scout misses that scout night, he can't go on the campout.
· If a scout wants to invite a friend to the campout, the friend must be in attendance at the Wed meeting before, for the above mentioned reasons.
· If a scout forgets to bring a plate/fork/cup on a campout, he eats/drinks with his hands. This is personal gear, not considered troop gear.
· Only 1 pack per person for campouts. Sleeping bag, pillow must fit in pack, or it stays in parent's car. We need gear to be secure in trucks and not blowing out the back.
If you have any reservations or questions with any of these guidelines, please let me know.
