Start Time: Friday, October 18 05:30 PM
End Time: Sunday, October 20, 11:00 AM

Families and/or individuals are welcome to come for the whole weekend, for Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday, or just for the day on Saturday. We just hope that you'll be able to join us for some of the weekend.

Cost: $10 per person

Weekend Itinerary: TBD, but will definitely include campfires, hikes, and time at the archery range

Facilities, Bunking, and Tenting: The Pack has reserved the Amy Jenkins house for the campout. Amy Jenkins will be "base camp", with restrooms (separate for youth boys, youth girls, adult men, and adult women) and a kitchen. Amy Jenkins has 26 bunks in three bedrooms (4 / 10 / 12); bunks have a (thin) mattress, but bring a sleeping bag (or blankets). Please note that these are shared sleeping spaces. In addition, there is ample tenting space around Amy Jenkins. When registering, please indicate in the notes "Bunking - Amy Jenkins", "Tenting, with own tent", "Prefer tenting, but need a #-person tent". It would also be helpful to note "Have a spare #-person tent" if you could help out any family interested in tenting.

Meals and Food: The Pack will provide all meals starting Saturday AM (breakfast, lunch, and dinner Saturday; breakfast Sunday morning) with vegetarian options available. This is a change from prior years. Friday night options include eating before arriving, bringing your own prepared food to eat after arrival, or bring meal options that can be be prepared using the kitchen at the lodge (microwave, stove, pots/pans available). When registering, please indicate in the notes if your family has special dietary restrictions we need to consider. Remember: NO FOOD IN TENTS!! If you are bringing food for special dietary needs, please see a pack leader upon arrival to store food in Amy Jenkins.

Uniform Required: Class A or Class B uniforms

Packing: See the suggested packing list on the pack website – Files page.

Medical Forms: All attendees (scouts, siblings, and guests) will need to have current health forms (A and B) on file with the Pack. Bring completed forms and turn in at camp check-in.
