November backpacking trip signups due THIS WEEK

Signups for the backpacking trip are due at this week's troop meeting. If you want to attend it is important that you signup this week so that we can ensure equipment and meals are able to be prepared.

The November trip will be a backpacking trip in New Hampshire. This will be an easy trip meant to be an introductory backpacking experience. Over the next few weeks the scouts will be reviewing the essentials of successful backpacking at troop meetings. We will meet at the AMC Mount Cardigan Lodge, 774 Shem Valley Road, Alexandria, NH on Saturday morning, conduct a final gear check and step off on the trail. We will travel between 4 to 6 miles on this introductory backpacking trip. We will stop along the trail for lunch (that your son will bring from home). After lunch and some more exploring we will continue on down the trail to our overnight backpacking site. On Sunday morning we will enjoy a backpacking breakfast, break camp and move to the pickup location at the AMC Mount Cardigan Lodge, 774 Shem Valley Road, Alexandria, NH.
