Shiloh Trip

Want to thank Mr. Madison for an excellent program last night about Shiloh and for Mr. Griffith's comments.

If your son is coming to Shiloh and he wasn't at the meeting last night...I need a response from you now (today) in order to assure he has a tent to sleep in. We are pre-assigning them tents as we did at the White water trip for the early party to avoid the confusion when we get there at night. We also need to assure the persons assigned to trails are correct and everyone has a place.
So far I have heard from:

Z Harbin and Mr. Harbin (both going)A Byrd Christopher and Mr. Griffith (both going)Drew and Mr. Yarbrough (both going)
Dr. Hamilton: I need an exact number and name of your late crew.
The fees for this trip is as follows:
$12.00 Meals
$4.00 camping fee
$2.00 Park Fee
$20.00 for fuel
$38.00 per person

This will cover gas for the early party vehicles,one follow on vehicle for the Main Party, and one or two vehicles for the late party. We will collect the fees as usual before we leave (prefer a check). Mr. Smith will collect the fees for the early party. Dr. Hamilton and Mr. Frost for the late parties.

Trail leaders: Mr. Strunk will pay the National Park fees for the Troop.
WEBELOS: If you are driving up in your own car, then the fee is just $18.00.

So far the early party includes Mr. Smith, Mr. Turner, Mr. Gunn and his son M Gunn, Mr. Eggers, Mr. Clark and his sons S Clark and J Clark, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Griffith.

Finally...if your son is assigned as quartermaster, he has to be at the Hut on this Thursday night (uniform not required) at 6:30 PM to help load. This coming six months Scout assignments are on the Court of Honor handout...If he is not sure...he needs to call the patrol leader.

As announced, it is reported that it may be cold up at Shiloh...please make sure he leaves the house dressed for it..that includes a rain suit. gloves..pull over knit or polyester cap..gloves..long underwear...etc.. Come rain or shine, we'll walk the trails. Uniform for the Trip is the tan shirt, green trousers or shorts, scout socks, and scout belt. He also has to wear the uniform on the trail. less scout socks replaced by wool or hiking socks with polyproplene liners to prevent blisters. If he is a first year scout (Foxes) and D Yarbrough and E Gibbs, they need to bring their compass as they will be doing the compass trail (#4).

Please don't forget to go to the Troop web site and make a copy of the Troop consent form to fill out for you son for the Shiloh trip. This include WEBELOS.

This save a lot of time when we sign in Friday evening to leave.

Thanks for all your Support..
