We are headed to Lafayette Campground in Franconia Notch State Park, NH this weekend – November 13-15. We will leave the firehouse Friday at 5:30pm and return at approximately 11:30am on Sunday. Make sure you are at the firehouse by 5:15pm to be ready for departure.
We will do Troop level cooking on this trip and individual patrols do not need to plan a menu. However all scouts & adults need to pack a bag lunch for Saturday’s hike and should bring their own mess kit as well.
Please raise your hand if you are attending this trip so we can get a final headcount.
Scouts that are attending their first cold weather campout should present their packs to a senior patrol member during patrol time today for inspection of your sleeping bag and pad. If you did not bring your pack, you still need to review what equipment you plan to bring.
It’s almost Thanksgiving and that means it’s time for Troop 1’s annual bowling night. Join us for the evening on November 25th for bowling and a pizza dinner. More details on location and time is coming soon.
The winter Court of Honor is scheduled for December 17th. Rank advancements, including Board of Reviews, need to be completed by December 3rd. That’s 3 weeks from now!
Patrol time today should be used to prepare for the campout. The water jugs need to be filled. Cleanup, ropes, and woods boxes should be packed. Patrol boxes are not required.
