Pack 601: Fall Camping Trip

Parents,

If you are going to join us on our first campout of the new Scouting year (the Fall campout) starting Friday, September 29th, please turn in the attached permission form and money by Monday, September 25th if your den meets on Monday or Tuesday, September 26th if your den meets on Tuesday. We cannot accept any forms after that. This will be a great campout. Jon Howell has been working out all the details with Camp Alpine and it promises to be lots of fun.

I will be at the church on Monday to collect forms and money. Cost is $20 per person which includes the camping fees and food. If you can email me back to let me know you are planning to come, that would be very helpful.

We will be meeting at the church at 6:00PM on Friday the 29th and returning about 2:00PM Sunday the 1st. The drive is about 2.5 hours to Camp Alpine.

Below is a suggested packing list. Please remember it will be very cool at night and you should bring plenty of warm clothes. For those of you who have not been camping before and have questions about camping, I will be glad to answer them on Monday.

Plus, please mark Monday October 2nd on your calendar. We will hold a meeting at the church building for all parents of new scouts. It will last about 40 minutes. I ask that you make every effort to be there. We will talk about how the Pack runs and what you can expect fromt your son's scouting experience.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday,

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd
