This year's New Scout Campout will be held at Drum Point Club in Lusby, MD.
Among other things, we will focus on helping the new scouts learn some basic camping skills and getting all requirements for Scout rank. Camping skills will include fire-building, safe use of knives/axes, setting up tents/tarps, cooking, KP and others, as time permits.
We'll follow our normal routine and try to leave the CUMC parking lot as close to 5pm as possible. Please show up at 4:45, especially the Patrol leaders. Remember to bring a bagged dinner on Friday night. We'll return around noon on Sunday.
Camping fees are $11/person. Grubmaster fees are $20 for Scouts and $25 for adults. Scouts, pay your grubmasters cash in the parking lot before we depart. Please email your signed Boy Scout permission slip to Laura Jackson at laurahjackson90@gmail.com.
NEW SCOUTS: Come with a backpack with camping essentials. A checklist can be found on page 268 in your Scout book with all the essentials listed out for you. All essentials under "Group Camping Gear Checklist" are provided by the troop. This is also the first Tenderfoot requirement, and can be easily achieved at this campout by following the checklist.
That's it for now and we will add details in the coming weeks if needed.
