Fisherman’s Bend Campout – April 16 – 17

Our annual Pack campout at Fisherman’s Bend will be on April 16 - 17. We’re excited to see what the weather brings us! Our scouts and families are troopers whether we have sun or snow. Families may begin arriving after 3:00 on the 16th. We will be camping at the Steelhead group site. Camp trailers are welcome. Electricity is available however water/sewer hookups are not.

Families will need to provide their own dinner. BBQ pits and firewood will be available. The pack will provide the ingredients for s’mores. Please bring roasting sticks (make sure they are labeled). Evening entertainment will include skits by dens and campfire songs.

Saturday breakfast assignments – Ziplock Omlets
Pack – scrambled eggs & coffee
Tigers – fruit
Wolves – pastry/muffins
Bears – Juice or milk
Webelos – Veggies for omelets

We will do a service project at the campground on Saturday. We aren’t sure what it will be yet but it would be a good idea to bring work gloves, shovels, and rakes. And as always, prepare for the crazy spring weather! Our project will begin at 10:00 Saturday morning and will last approximately 2 hours. Please bring a snack and drinks if you or child will need a little extra boost halfway through.
