February 28 to March 2, 2014 “Road to First Class Camp Out”SPECIAL NOTE: To help more scouts progress towards first class, 6 meals will be included in this camp out - dinner Friday night, 3 meals on Saturday, breakfast and lunch on Sunday. In addition, each patrol will have 2 boys buying food for the patrol. This means that the budget of $15/scout applies to the total purchase by both boys in the patrol. Please make sure your scout coordinates with the co-buyer to stay within budget. This is critical to keeping the cost down for the camp out. Please remember that the scout must be responsible for the food buying - this is part of their requirement. They will not be able to answer the requirements if they are not involved in the decision making. Contact Ken Rowe or Jeff Abel if you have any questions about this.
