February and March 2023 Camping Trips

Greetings Troop 46!

 

I’m happy to announce our February and March Camping trips.

 

February 17-19, 2023

We’ll be travelling to Stone Mountain State Park (NC) and camping in one of the group campsites.  We’ll have an awesome day-hike on Saturday, February 18 that include the summit, opportunities for several waterfalls and a climb up several hundred stairs.  While this is not a backpacking trip, we will treat it as one from a packing and meals perspective.

More details and the signup coming soon

 

March 24-25, 2023

The Etowah District camporee is an event where a large group of troops from our district camp together and have friendly competitions related to scouting skills and other events.  There are awards to be won and we’ll be doing some brushing up on our skills in February and March to help prepare for it.  Please note that this event is not on our typical third weekend of the month.  The Camporee will be held at Belk Scout Camp.  Look for more information and signups to come.

 

Yours in Scouting,

We will depart Matthews Presbyterian Church at 7:00 am on Sat Jan 21, 2023.
** Please arrive by 6:30 am. **

We will be spending the night in a VRBO Vacation Rental in the Boone Area. If your scout is an inexperienced skier, I would highly recommend paying for the lesson. I will be available for very basic instruction as needed. There are clothing rentals available. But, in lieu of a proper ski bib, a pair of rain pants can add a layer of protection from the wet snow.
