Scoutmaster Minute: Everyone attending Summer camp should review the materials shared in prior email and plan to make necessary payments as needed. We are hold slots open for new Scouts joining the Troop or tansferring, so please read those materials closely. This week is important prep work for the upcoming campout which will require Scouts to think carefully about the “stuff” they bring since everything, including food must fit in your pack. If you need a backpacking pack, the Troop has several that we can loan a Scout. We need all Scouts attention to make that decision by Tuesday since space is limited and last minute decisions are very disruptive to planning. Finally, since the Scout will be on the trail most of the day Saturday…you must be all in for the full weekend (no coming/going midday). Finally, we have confirmed that masking at CUMC is now optional and Scouts should make that decision in consultation with their parents.
Backpacking is the art of knowing what not to take.– Sheridan Anderson.
