Survival Campout
This Friday, September 15, 2017 at 5:30pm, we will meet at East Somerset Baptist Church parking lot for our annual Survivor Campout.
Besides regular camping gear, all scouts must bring a tarp to the campout (preferably one with eyelets to tie ropes through). This is what they will use to create their shelter that they will sleep in for two nights (i.e., no tents!). Hope to see everyone who signed up last Monday there!

This Monday 9/11/17
Monday, September 11th, will be the last Monday before the Surviver Campout next weekend, so please be sure to bring $10 food money to the meeting. If you do not plan on attending the meeting, but are going on the campout, please let your Patrol Leader know.
We will be discussing what to bring on the campout at the meeting. I would also recommend coming to the meeting if you plan on attending the Hal Rodgers Dinner, because we will be teaching items required for that event.
