Rappelling Trip

We had a full house at the Hut tonight with Guest Speaker (thanks to Mr. Crabtree for inviting him)
 Casey Fannin.  Casey is a 17 times  Ironman athlete who also competes internationally in Exterra competition of which he is one of the highest ranking. He spoke for about fifty minutes  to the value of being in excellent shape and staying there to enjoy life to the maximum.  Some excellent value lessons for the Scouts..and leaders...

The Trip this weekend:   Bucks' Pocket State Park rappelling....the cost is $52.00 per person  if you rappell..

if choose to go on the trip and not rapell..the cost is $27.00 for meals, camping fee, and fuel costs.  The fee for rappelling is $25.00.

The  Instructor is BSA certified and has taken the Troop on these trips for the past 15 or more years.

If Rappelling, the Scout or leader needs to wear sneakers or hiking boots, jeans or long pants, and other wise dress for the weather.  Though all gear will be provided, to move quicker in line, he should bring a pair of leather work gloves (write his name on them in black marker).  He can also bring his own biking helmet (name marked in it) to use rather than swapping out with others..

If the leader or Scout did not make the meeting tonight,   he needs to call the patrol leader and quartermaster to make sure they buy meals for him and bring a tent if required so as not to come up short.

If coming on the trip, he needs to be there this Thursday night  at 6:30 PM to help pack gear and load. Unifom not required.

He needs to be at the Hut at 5:00 PM for the trip in the Red Troop t shirt, Scout shorts, Scout socks and belt...same uniform on the way home with an expectation of around 2:00 PM or so.

We will stop for fuel and a snack on the way up and at a McDonalds for lunch on the way back.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance.
