Pack 393 Pirate Campout:
What is this? – Pack Spring campout. We will be using the Cape Fear Council’s BSA Camp. Several of Troop 393’s scouts will be joining us and helping to run some pirate treasure hunts with compasses. In addition, we will be using the camp’s archery and BB ranges. There is also a full-sized wooden pirate ship and we will be organizing some pirate war games with marshmallow shooters, so please remember to bring the one’s we made last year with you (or the one’s you received from selling popcorn so that you can make the Cubmaster walk the plank).
This should be a family campout to remember, so hopefully you have saved the date.
