Weekend Camping Trips
Troop 112 attempts to have an outdoor
Scouting activity each month of the year with the exception of
the holiday season during December. The activities are limited
only by the imagination of the boys and their desire to organize
and participate in them. One of these outings is a Merit Trip,
which discussed separately.
Parent permission slips are required for
each activity. In addition, a current Class II medical form
(less than three years old) is required to be on file with the
Troop. Class III medical forms are required each year for all
adults and youth attending High Adventure outings.
The Troop usually meets in the parking lot of the
Lions Club at
5:30 PM
on Friday. We usually leave our campsite at 9:00 AM on Sunday
morning and arrive back to the Lions Club between 11:00 AM and
noon depending on the distance from the campsite. When we
arrive at the Lions Club, the Troop will unload the Troop
trailer and the Troop Quartermaster will assign gear to the
participants to take home to clean and/or dry and repack
(tents). All Patrol and Troop gear, i.e. tents, must be
returned to the Lions Club at the following scheduled meeting.
The Troop typically does not meet the following Monday after an
outing.
Only active Scouts, their Parents, Legal
Guardians, and Registered Scout Leaders can go on a trip.
Each Patrol is responsible for planning; purchase and cooking
their weekend meals. Consistent with the Patrol Method, a Scout
is assigned as the Patrol Grubmaster. The Patrol Grubmaster
duties are rotated throughout the Patrol, so that each Scout
gets an opportunity to shop. Scouts participating are given a
budget of $3.00 per meal per Scout for purchase of supplies.
Scouts should plan on eating prior to departure on Friday or
bring a sack lunch for Friday night. The cost of a weekend
outing is typically $15.
