Troop 89 Webelos Campout

November 14, 15, 16, 2003

TRIP INFORMATION AND EQUIPMENT LIST

The Webelos Campout is an important part of our camping program. It also serves as our main recruiting tool for new scouts by offering the Webelos from local Packs a chance to understand some of the fun of being a Boy Scout. It also helps them to fulfill one of the their Webelos requirements by spending the day with us. This year we will camp at Snow Hill in Dover. Many of us have never camped at Snow Hill and it offers plenty of interesting terrain to explore, great hiking and a fantastic view of the Charles River valley. You won’t want to miss it.

The PLC has an active day planned for Saturday, including scout craft demonstrations, a short but interesting hike, and the usual fun and games. It is important that we get a good turnout from the troop to help staff all of the scout craft demonstrations and to help the Webelos learn about our troop from one of you!! This is our last campout until January. Please try to make it.

We will assemble at the scout shed behind the legion at 7:00 PM on Friday. We will return there and be ready to leave by 11:30AM Sunday.

Departure: Friday, November 14, 7:00PM, Scout Shed, Legion Hall

Weather and Preparation:

The weather is a huge variable this time of year. Be prepared for wet and cold weather. We will be in tents. I have attached a checklist to provide guidance on what to bring.
