Update on Backpacking

Troop 81 will meet at the Scout Hut at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, February 24 to leave for the backpacking trip to Camp Rainey Mountain.  As usual, Scouts will travel in uniform.  Menus, duty rosters and transportation plans were made at the meeting Monday night.  All Scouts should bring $7 to reimburse the assigned grubmasters.

There will be a conservation project during the trip.  This will provide an opportunity for Scouts to earn service hours, a conservation project and/or the 5-mile hike to meet requirements for advancement. Scouts are requested to bring work clothes and work gloves. All other equipment and tools will be provided.

Weather is expected to be in the 50's during the day and 30's overnight.  Scouts need to plan accordingly for layered clothing, jackets, and sleeping gear.  A metal-framed backpack is recommended and comfortable, well-broken shoes or boots will be needed.  Scouts are reminded to bring Scout Handbooks so that requirements can be signed off.
