Canoe Trip Prep - 6/13 Meeting

At last weeks meeting, Mr. Kelley focused on the equipment we need for a successful trip.  Tonight he will be speaking about planning a menu and cooking on the trip.  We also expect a special guest speaker; John Lonergan (JL) will be sharing some of his experience and knowledge with us.  JL has probably spent more time in canoes and on trails then any other active member of Troop 2.


It is not too late to sign up.

Some of the details:
Trip Date: June 22 - June 24  (we depart on the morning after the last day of school)
Trip Route: Fryeburg to Hiram Maine via Saco River.
Who can go: Scouts who have earned their Canoeing Merit Badge
Cost: $30 / Scout (due on 6/13/2011)

Scouts will be expected to pack all their own gear for the 3 days.  They will need a life vest, clothes, sleeping bag, toiletries and food.  The Troop can provide transportation and tents if necessary.  Mr Kelley has a complete detailed handout for anyone that need it.
