The WEBELOS (soon-to-be New Troop 5 Scouts) are expected to attend the campout at Shetek Scout Camp on the weekend of November 16-18, 2007. A Class I physical form (your Den Leader has the forms) must be given to the Scoutmaster prior to leaving for the event. No Scout can attend unless a Class I physical form is on file with the Scoutmaster.

There will need to be at least one Leader attending that is familiar with the new Scouts

All sleeping will be indoors - it will be cool (50 degrees at night) but not cold.

Bring your Scouts to the Church at about 5:30 pm on Friday night. Feed them before you bring them.

Troop leaders will cook supper for leaders per Troop tradition (bring a steak or something for yourself for the griddle. The Troop will supply the taters and such).

The evening program is free time - if the weather is nice - Capture the Flag.

Scouts will be outdoors all day and most of the evening on Saturday.

Scouts will cook Saturday supper outdoors. Troop leaders will provide guidance. This includes the WEBELOS.

Parents can pick-up Scouts at the church shortly before or after NOON on Sunday in front of the Library.

Sleeping bag - warm enough for the cool temperatures.

Cots are recommended for youth - the concrete floor is real hard and real cold. If no cot is available, a pad is needed to provide insulation and comfort. Adults need to bring cots also.

Pillow

Boots, jacket, mittens, hat appropriate for the anticipated weather - plan (hope) for SNOW.

At least one spare set of clothing - from the skin out in case of accidents.

Indoor shoes - boots are NOT worn inside the building.

Uniform

Flashlight

Reasonable snacks

Firearms

Fireworks

Adult beverages

Knives, axes, hatchets, chainsaws, explosives

Mess kit - the Troop will supply all necessary items

Call me if you have any questions.

Yours in Scouting,

Tim Kenyon, Scoutmaster, Troop 5
