The Vikings are coming! Well, actually we're the ones BEcoming vikings.
On April 9-11 Scouts who are up for the challenge will head to Ernest Poole Camp to be transformed into Vikings. Seeing as many of our Scouts (you know who you are) are already Barbarians, the change won't be too dramatic. Personally I'm looking forward to letting my moustache grow so that I can braid the ends in Viking fashion. :)
This camp is being hosted and planned by the same Venturer companies who brought us the Zombie Apocalypse in November 2009 so we can expect the same fabulous activities and challenges we barely survived in the fall.
Parents considering allowing their Scouts to spend the weekend running around the woods learning how to sack and pillage will need to keep in mind the following:
- This camp is in the beginning of April, so Scouts will need to BE PREPARED FOR EXTREME TEMPERATURES. We will be sleeping in tents and there are no warm spaces to heat up if you get too cold. If we discover that a Scout has not packed the gear necessary to keep him or her safe and warm, that Scout's parents will be called and asked to come and pick up their darling popsicle. More details about gear and clothing to follow soon.
- Leaders are no longer able to transport Scouts to camp; we simply don't have the space to pack equipment and youth. Parents will be expected to make plans before the night of camp to get their youth to Camp Poole. More details to follow.
- We have not yet heard what the camp fees will be. Likely about $20.00. As soon as I know, I'll pass on that information too.
Scouts should start practicing yelling, bashing things, and singing inspiring fighting song to battle sea monsters. And I expect everyone else's moustaches to be as long as mine.
