Weekend Campout at VP - March 26-27, with historic perspective included


Reminder - we have a campout this weekend at Valley Pines. Scouts should arrive at the camp ground after 9 AM. Cooking as usual on an open fire. The troop will provide tents. Activities will include spring cleanup and wood chopping.

Although we received a dusting of snow, and weather this weekend is forecasted to be sunny and cold, it's not unusual conditions for camping. Several photos of spring campouts from the 1960's are shown below. One memorable campout over the Easter weekend in April included several inches of snow and cold conditions.
