We will be camping in Group Sites #1 and #2 at Mohican State Park.
There will be canoeing, hiking, and good food. Be sure to attend and enjoy a trip somewhere the Troop hasn't camped in a long time
We will meet at 9:00 Saturday morning to place flags and flowers on the veterans' graves. Make sure you are in uniform for this two-hour service project.
Scouts will camp as normal with their patrols. There will be canoeing, swimming, volleyball, and other games and activities throughout the weekend as well as a flag retirement ceremony.
Parents and family members will camp and eat with the adults. We will provide all the meals. You will want to have camp chairs, bug spray, and your own tent. If you need to borrow a tent, let us know. We do have a few we can loan out.
If you do not wish to camp, you can come out for the day, or just for supper, whatever you prefer. Scouts can attend regardless of parent schedules. We do need everyone to sign up and pay no later that the Monday before for meal planning purposes.
