Its time for Troop 20's Annual family camp out... lets head for the mountain's it's a lot cooler there.
The camp out will be held at Cove Creek campground in the Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, North Carolina July 17,18,19,(Friday to Sunday) It is about a 4 hour drive from Charleston. Assistant Scoutmaster Ando, Campmaster, will be leaving early on Friday. Families may travel at their leisure.
Family's will arrive Friday night set up and the Troop will provide dinner. Saturday, family time…choose any activities you desire… Sliding Rock is not far, DuPont State forest has some easy hiking and 5 or 6 beautiful water falls along the hike, There is fishing right in the park, And tubes can be rented near by from what Mr. Ando has heard, This is a beautiful area with plenty of activities. If anyone has any other activities they know of please feel free to contribute your Information to ASM Ando.
Also available to Scouts who choose to work on their Forester MB…ASM Ando has set up a 2 hour class at The Cradle of Forestry for them. Parents are welcome to join if they choose. This class will cover about 90% of what the boy's will need to complete Forester MB. Saturday night troop will provide dinner. Sunday morning clean up, then stay, play, or go away, it's up to you.
The cost of the camp out will depend on the # of people attending, we are planning on somewhere between $25 and $30 per person this will cover camp ground and Friday/Saturday night's dinner.
