WEBELOS II WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN CAMPING WITH THE TROOP

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Hey everyone,
I have confirmed our February camping trip for Carver Falls. It is a beautiful property with waterfalls that you can hear while you’re camping! It has lots of great hiking also. It is a private property that only boy scouts can use. There is electricity and running water at the mill house and porta johns for our use. The camping trip is set for the weekend of February 27th. The cost is $10 a person. The location is in Cumberland County just south of Fayetteville. I will need someone to meet the person in charge to give us a key to the mill house at 4:00 PM on that Friday. Let me know if you would be available.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Pinewood Derby postponed until last weekend in February

Friday, January 29th, 2010

All,

Due to the impending inclement weather (and as one email pointed out that the pinewood derby cars don’t have snow tires), we have decided to postpone the pinewood derby until the last weekend in February. We wish it wasn’t the case, but given the amount of set-up and tear down and the predictions on the amount of wintry weather we are expecting, the Pinewood Derby guru and the Cubmaster both feel this is the prudent move so that we don’t have people making a trek in bad weather and/or being able to make it to the Church building and then it getting worse as they are saying the weather is going to go on most of Saturday.

The new date for the event will be Saturday, February 27 with set-up on Friday, February 26.

Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the winter wonderland with your families. Now it is free to snow a foot on Saturday so we can get some good sledding in.

Yours in Scouting,

Randy
