Wilderness Survival campout

This weekend, the boys will need everything they usually need on a campout....trail clothes, cup, knife, spoon, and fork:  they will sleep Friday night in a tent and Saturday in a lean-to of their building choice...they can use Troop plastic  drop cloths we keep for the tents or they can bring a plastic blue type of tarp of their choosing to fashion into a lean-to and ground cloth

..Hammocks,  as usual,  will not be permitted.

They should be prepared for the weather.....don't think much rain is expected..but show knows.

Leaders will sleep in Troop tents or personal tents both nights.

The patrol will provide Saturday's breakfast and lunch..the troop will provide supper..

They need to be at the Hut Friday,  July 27, at 5:00 PM to depart..we should return between 10:00 AM on Sunday, July 29, or earlier from Oak Mountain State Park..we will be in the Boy Scout Primitive camp site # 2  Friday evening through Sunday morning.

The boys will be earning the Wilderness Survival merit badge. The instructor is Dr. Frank Nelson , who though using the merit badge book as a guide, gives the practical, common sense approach to survival in all conditions.


The cost of the trip is $20.00 per person for food, fuel, and camp fees...don't forget to complete the BSA consent form located on the Troop Website.
