A Camping We Will Go...

Here we are - the day before our annual Family Campout - and your Cubmaster is practically Giddy. There's nothing a Scout loves more than a good campout. Some of our (cough cough) newer leaders have been sending me weather reports this week -and it seems they might be a little worried. Never fear - we have a backup plan just in case!

Remember - this is Cub Scouts and we don't want to ruin anyones' Scouting experience at this stage with a miserable wet night of camping. There will be plenty of opportunities for these boys to have miserable wet nights of camping later in their Scouting careers.

So - If Mother Nature is not cooperating with our original schedule...
10 – 1 Setup personal camping gear, have lunch and activities
1:00 Hike
2:00 Fishing
3:30 Make Foil Pack Dinners
4:30 ROCKET LAUNCH
5:30 Dinner
7:00 Ceremony, then campfire, cobbler & s’mores
Sleep over Saturday night

We will go with "Plan B"
10 – 4:30 lunch and activities (time much more flexible)
4:30 ROCKET LAUNCH (if there's no lightning)
5:30 Dinner (no foil packs, just burgers & dogs on the grill)
7:00 Ceremony, then candle campfire, cobbler & (uncooked) s’mores
* all of Plan B would take place under the shelter at The Hollows group campsite

If there is significant weather (e.g. lightning) where even being under the shelter is not safe... or if anyone sees a guy with a beard building a boat because it's raining that hard (other than Mr. Leonard), we will obviously cancel the event

I can't wait to see you all Saturday!
