Camporee Practice Tonight – February 27, 2012
Don’t forget we have Camporee Practice tonight at the church from 7-8 PM.
Remember if you want FIRST place you’re gonna have to work for it. Last week we only had 5 Pathfinders and 1 TLT show up – if we want FIRST place we’re gonna have to work harder at it.
See you there!
Camporee Practices Start February 20
Don’t forget that we will be starting camporee practice this Monday, February 20, at 7:00 PM. It’s only an hour long so make sure to be there on time ready to go.
We’ll see you there!
TLT Backpacking Trip Cancelled
Due to many factors, the TLT Backpacking Trip has been cancelled. We will try to reschedule it at a later date.
Last day to drop off stuff for campout is Thursday!
We had a grand total of 4 people drop off their stuff tonight at the church. If you want your stuff on the trailer rather than your lap on Friday, you NEED to bring your stuff to the church tomorrow (Thursday) to drop it off between 7-8 PM along with your Permission Slip and your Pathfinder Health Record. If you do not have BOTH of those forms, you CANNOT go to the campout this weekend.
Also don’t forget that the price for the campout is $20 which you need to bring tomorrow night.
We’ll see you then!
Camping Skills IV
Our Camping Skills weekend is just a little bit over 2 weeks. There are some things that needs to be done before we leave. The following must be done before we leave. When I say “done”, it must be turned in before we leave or there will be some penalties.
- Write a 200-word report on the preservation of the wilderness, discussing etiquette, and conservation. Some topics to cover, but should not be limited to; how to behave in the campsite, how to treat others campers in the campsites and campsites in the vicinity, showing respect and cleanliness to the campsite and people within the campsite and campsites in the vicinity.
- You are to take part in planning the menu for a camping trip and estimate the cost. It is YOUR responsibility to ask who is our food coordinator.
- Along with the food coordinator, you are to prepare a dinner with soup, vegetables, entree, and a drink. (All of which must be cooked)
- Purify water by three different methods.
- Boiling
- Iodine
- Chlorine
- Filtering
Start your research on some these to be prepared for our camping skills weekend. If you need help on understanding of what is asked of you, feel free to call me, e-mail me @ trinocularmix@gmail.com, or simply message me here on the website.
Thank you! Have a safe week and I’ll see you on our next meeting.
