May 17-19 - Spring Pack Camp Out

Our final Pack event for the school-year will be the Spring Pack Camp Out from Friday, May 17, to Sunday, May 19.  We will be camping out again at the Sycamore Springs Park, located at 717 West Tunnel Hill Road in English, IN.

You may camp out Friday night, Saturday night, or both nights.  There is no charge for camping, and firewood will be provided.

You will need to provide your own tent and sleeping supplies, along with your own food and drinks (and anything you might need to prepare your food).  There will be a campfire in the evening.

Here's a list of some other things you might not want to forget:
  • Scout uniform shirt (we will have a flag retirement ceremony after sundown)
  • Camp chairs
  • Flashlights
  • Extra clothes
  • Towels (where there is water, there will be wet Scouts)
  • Outdoor games/activities/sporting equipment
  • Leave the electronics at home (or in the car)!

You will be able to park and unpack your car at the campsite, so speaking from experience, it is much better to have too much than not enough!

Finally, the Boy Scouts of America have a few rules that we must always enforce on any overnight Scout event:
  • No alcohol or tobacco products are allowed.  If you must use tobacco, please do so out of site of any kids other than your own.
  • No youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his or her own parent or guardian.
  • One-on-one contact between adults and Scouts is prohibited.  There must be at least two adults present when you are with any child other than your own.

See you all there!
