CUB PACK 661 - ELSON FARM CAMP OUT – ROCKETS AND MORE – SATURDAY MAY 4^TH and SUNDAY MAY 5^TH

Hello Parents – are you and your Cub Scout ready to Camp Out ? It should be a fun event with a good weather forecast. Here are a few updates:

Please register in advance so we can plan food and supplies (no cost). Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFdIcmt3WVBzTjR3WlVCaFNRSGtVRUE6MA#gid=0

Also:

- We will meet at Elson Farm starting at 10am Saturday; see the attached activities agenda (any questions please contact me).

- We are revising the driving instructions – they will be out in the next couple of days – the farm is located in Toronto, OH; less than 1 hour from USC.

- Dress Warm ! It will be cooler there and probably a little windy; dress in layers; bring 2 or 3 changes of cloths (just in case) and it may be warm enough for shorts.

- While the forecast it looking positive, be ready for the possibility of rain; rain gear, umbrellas, boots, changes of cloths would be good.

- Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast and snacks are provided; feel free to bring more if you want (or to share).

- Water and drinks are provided – bring a refillable water bottle for each person in your party.

- There are real bathrooms in the building.

- For sleeping, it may get cold so plan for a hat and to wear a second layer before climbing into your sleeping bag.

- Extras like folding chairs and other camp gear are nice to have so bring if you do.

ALSO – does anyone have a model rocket launcher? I need two more in addition to the two (Jeff D and Me) we already have. Let me know !

I will be back to you with anything I forgot . . .

Please contact me by email or phone (412-443-6343) with any questions – Thanks !
