Yule Log
The Yule Log Camporee will be this weekend, December 9-11 at Scoutland. Scouts will meet at the Scout Hut beginning at 5:00 p.m on Friday to pack equipment and prepare to leave by 6:00 p.m.
The camping fee is $2 PLUS at least two canned goods for the can drive. The can drive is a competition, so please bring at least two cans, but more if you are able. Please remember to bring the money for your share of the meals and pay directly to your patrol's grubmaster. This fee is usually between $7 and $10 depending on your patrol's menu.
Scouts are urged to BE PREPARED for the weather. Daytime weather is expected to be in the mid-50's and breezy. Layers and a light jacket will be needed. Overnight temps are expected to be in the low 30's, so cold weather sleeping gear and clothes are needed.
Troop 81 has worked for the last several weeks to prepare for the Yule Log competitions. We are ready to work together and do well.
