Camporee On the Beach!

Camporee is here! This annual event, where we get together with troops from all around the area, is all about fun, competition, skills, and awards.

We have two adults and five scouts set to go to Camporee April 20-22. This should be a great event, and we are all looking forward to a lot of fun at the clean and dry McGrath State Beach campground! This is the first time in as long as any of us can remember that the campout is being held on a beach, so this should be an event to remember.

All camporee participants must be at the prep meeting Thursday night at PCYC. There is lots to cover! Bring a jacket as we may be doing some prep outside by the pool.

Just in case your SPL forgets, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and bug spray. You will be outdoors on the beach most of the day, and the weather looks really good. Also, the campground is next to a teeming coastal wetland, so bugs might be present.

Please let your SPL know of any dietary issues, and make sure the Scoutmaster (Mr. E) is aware of any and all medication requirements.

We have our fingers crossed for Jay to be called out for Order of the Arrow Saturday night, so make sure to give a big cheer for him when he stands up.

Mr. Wolf won’t be joining the troop (he has an emergency work trip to China on Friday morning), but he will be there with Mr. E, Mr. Smith, and the Scouts in spirit.

Have fun, and Go 234! Can do!

Please contact Mr. E or Mr. Wolf with any questions. Scouts, please reach out to Aaron.
