Scouts planning to participate in the wilderness survival portion of the September outing will be required to attend at least one of two pre-training meetings.  It is highly recommended you attend both.  The meetings will be Saturday August 22nd and 29th from 9am to 11am.  Be sure to sign up on the troop website as soon as possible so we know who will make it.  Scouts should be at least 14 years old to participate in the wilderness survival portion of the outing.  Scouts not doing wilderness survival will backpack to Upper Round Pond at Griswold Scout Reservation to camp.

If your scout plans to participate in the Wilderness Survival/Backpacking Campout next weekend please click the link below to complete the permission form by Wednesday September 16.

If you are interested in attending the World Scout Jamboree at the Summit in West Virginia next year, the time to sign-up is now as spots are very limited. The application process is competitive (you may not get in even if you apply). 

Scouts and adults don’t forget to sign up for the Worst Case Scenario Campout on 31 May at Beaver Brook park in Hollis.  Activities begin Saturday morning on 1 June, but cabins will be available Friday night for those wanting to get in an additional night of camping.  Scenario will be published shortly. You will only need your 13 essential, a day pack and sleeping pad... the basics of survival for hiking in the White Mountains will be covered in a scenario based learning experience.  Be Prepared!
