Good morning scouts,
Our March campout will be a backpacking trip to beautiful Cross Timbers Trail at Lake Texoma. Since the troop has not done a traditional backpacking trip in quite a few years we will spend the next several meeting preparing for this adventure. This trip will be an appropreiate difficulty so that all scouts in the troop can participate. I also want to make sure that lack of equipment is not a barrier keeping anyone from joining us. If your scout doesnt have a backpack, tent, or other gear yet, then the OF will help him choose apppropriate equipement from our lending library of camping equipment.
Please see below for our upcoming schedule of preperatory meetings and reach out to me if you have any questions.
February 10th: Backpacking Fitness seminar
February 17th: How to pack for a backpacking trip
February 24th: Cooking stove demonstraton and menu sampling
March 3rd: Gear shakedown
March 6th - 8th: Backpacking at Cross Timbers Trail Lake Texoma
I look forward to seeing everyone at these meetings and having a great time introducing the troop members to the joys of backpacking.
Mr. Lunsford
