Winter Camp February 18-20, 2011!

The Cubs have graciously invited us to join them at Camp Maskepetoon on February 18th to the 20th for winter camp!

Weather and snow permitting, our goal on Saturday will be to build a quinzee large enough for several Scouts and one leader (guess who?) to sleep in on Saturday night.

We will also try to cook at least two of our meals outside as we continue to hone our campfire cooking skills.

Cost has yet to be finalized, but will likely be between $25.00 to $30.00 per youth.
Registration deadline is January 31st. Scouts will learn more about the weekend on January 20th.

Brrrrr!

MAD TRAPPER'S CAMPOREE

February 4-6, 2011

"The Frozen Wild West"

This is the 34th annual Mad Trapper's Camporee. This year's activities revolve around the theme "The Frozen Wild West". Saturday's activities are all outdoors until the evening formal campfire. After Sunday's Scout's own (which will be led by our troop) the whole camp gets together to participate in a wide game planned and delivered by the Venturers doing service at the camp. The event culminates with fantastic snowshoe trophies for the best patrol cometitors in each event. This is a challenge camp, an important opportunity for our scouts.

Scouter Katie will attend the next planning meeting for Mad Trapper's Camp on November 17th. The camp is very popular and fills up quickly. As such, the registration deadline for scouts wishing to attend is Monday, November 15th. Scouter Katie must pay the registration fees ($45.00 per participant) on November 17th. We hope to be able to offset that cost with money from the casino funds. We are not asking for payment on the 15th, just the names of scouts who will be attending.

Please email Scouter Katie by November 15th to confirm your scout's attendance.

Sincerely,

Katie McDonough

Troop Scouter
