DECEMBER 12TH CAMPOUT

Date: 

December 12th and 13th (Arrival/departure times TBA)

Details:

An overnight campout at Camp Carpenter.
Your SPL will send information regarding arrival and departure times.
What will we do?

• Plan to cook supper on an open fire.
• Ramp up your wood tools skills (axe, saw, and knives)
• Demonstrate first aid skills  for injuries associated with cooking, wood tools, and winter camping.
• Build a pioneering gadget using lashing and staves.
• Play games in the woods.

Due to the limited number of Scouts allowed, this will be a “one patrol” event, and the SPL will act as the Patrol Leader.

How to Prepare:

• Each scout will sleep in their own tent.  It is preferred you sleep in a backpacking “style” tent or hammock.
• Talk with your Patrol Leader / SPL if you are interested in serving as Quartermaster for this event.
• Make sure you have a head lamp (preferred) or flashlight.
• Dress for cold weather with layers. Your sleeping bag needs to be appropriate for 15 degree weather. If not, consider bringing extra quilt/blanket. You MUST have a foam pad or insulation under your bag.
• For sleeping you SHOULD have a head cover.
