Spring Camp Out

Our Spring Camp Out is this weekend. The weather looks like it will be warm, sunny, and no rain. Couldn't ask for a better weekend!

Here are the specifics:

Dates: You can camp out Friday and/or Saturday (May 18 and 19). I am going to plan on being there on Friday and Saturday night. If you can't camp out, feel free to come up for the day on Saturday.

Location: Sycamore Springs (717 West Tunnel Hill Rd. English, Indiana 47118). Directions below. It is about an hour drive down I-64 going West. It's well worth the drive.

What to Bring: Tents, sleeping bags, food, and everything else you will need for a weekend in the woods. If this is your first time camping, or just been a while, and you have questions, let me know. Please remember that BSA rules require that the only adults in a tent with kids are the parents/guardians of those kids.

There is a big open field, so bring soccer balls, kick balls, footballs, etc. There is also a fishing pond.  I've not fished in it, so I'm not sure how good the fishing is. You can bring a pole, if you are interested in trying it out.

There will be potable water near by and port-a-potties. There are showers and regular restrooms also available.

There is plenty of fire wood stacked up and ready. No need to bring your own. There will be a couple of fires.

Activities: Fun in the outdoors. There will be plenty of space for the boys to run around and play in. There are also several playgrounds around as well. Brothers and sisters are welcome as well. For the older boys, Mike Hasty has volunteered to teach the boys some knots and help them practice. 

Saturday evening we will have a flag retirement ceremony. Bring your son's Cub Scout uniform to wear during the ceremony. I have several flags to retire. If you have any flags to retire, bring them with you.

Directions: Sycamore Springs is located in English, Indiana.  You can click on the following link for the Google Map.

If you get into English, IN after me, I will put up the PACK 327 sign where you need to turn left at Church St.  English is a small town.  There will be a gas station/mini-mart where you need to turn. If you cross rail road tracks, you probably passed it.
