A number of activities were discussed at the December 16 meeting. The camp will be split up into four major activity areas: Scouting Past, Scouting Future, Field Sports, and Aquatics. A number of activities have been proposed, and we have narrowed down the list to a select few. We discussed each activity at length, and tried to consider Scouts of all ages and ability. Scouts will have the opportunity to sample a variety of activities throughout the day. If you're bored that Saturday, then you're doing something wrong!Scouting Past

Classic car enthusiasts! We're looking for a Ford Model T or A, a 1940's "Woody" station wagon, and a 1970s Ford Bronco or Jeep Wagoneer to borrow for a day to go along with our historic Scout encampments. Do you know someone with access to these vehicles? We would love to have them participate in our festivities. Please contact us.
Next Committee Meeting will be January 6. Also look for preliminary Registration informationat your January Roundtables. Happy New Year!
