We’ll have a meeting Tuesday, March 29th, 7 pm at WUMC to finalize details for the Lazy Campout. We’ll be camping this Fri-Sat (1-2 Apr) in the vicinity of the WUMC church barn (hereafter referred to as Camp Wilson!). Show time is 5 pm Friday and we’ll be done at 3 pm Saturday afternoon. Please eat a snack prior to arrival and bring a signed waiver. We’ll cook Friday night dinner and Saturday breakfast and lunch during the campout. On Saturday we’ll work on rank advancement items, and new Scouts will earn the Totin’ Chip and Firem’n Chit (which will allow them to carry/use knives and build fires).
Individual items to bring to Camp Wilson: Scout Handbook, pen, sleeping bag and pad, clothes, hat/gloves, flashlight, knife (if you’ve earned the Totin’ chit), camp chair (optional), bowl or plate, cup, spoon/fork, toothbrush/comb,. You can pack all items in a duffel bag or backpack. We will use Troop tents, stoves, and other equipment during the campout.
Cost for the campout is $12. At Tuesday’s meeting we need to finalize camper names, collect $12 cash or check (payable to Troop 287) or verify use of Scout Account Funds, and collect waiver forms. If you will be camping but not attending the Tuesday meeting, please let me know so I can verify participation and make alternate arrangements.
