Troop 287,
The Air Force Academy decided to run the Freez-O-Ree in March this year and I think it would be a great opportunity for our Troop! The campout will take place from 17 March @ 4pm to 19 March @ 10am. The Air Force Cadets run this camp out and its a lot of fun!!
In addition to Campfire Ceremonies and other fun stuff. Here are the activies they will have available for the boys!
- Scouts vs. Blades – accuracy and safety with axes, saws and knives (equip: N/A)
- Scouts vs. Leadership Challenge – reaction course (equip: N/A)
- Scouts vs. Terrain – sled race (equip: troop sled)
- Scouts vs. Fire – fire safety and fire building (equip: matches and fire building materials)
- Scouts vs. Wild – wilderness survival skills (equip: shelter building supplies)

- Scouts vs. Injury – first aid skills (equip: first aid kit and splinting materials)

While they will not likely sign off on the achievements, the scoutmasters can and this is a great opportunity to have fun, camp and knock out some rank advancements. Scouts can also finish their cooking merit badge and well as other merit badge or rank advancements.
