Troop 531,

 

Today’s update for those going backpacking this weekend:

 

I hope you are looking forward to our trip as much as the leaders are. Only 1 more day to prepare. 

 

Remember 4:45 tomorrow for shakedown if you can make it. It may be tough to get there at the start, especially for middle school Scouts. So don’t be afraid to show up a little later than 4:45. A couple of us will stay until 6 PM. 

 

Here are a couple links to the place we are going:

http://www.ouachitamaps.com/McGee%20Creek.html – This gives lots of great info on McGee Creek NSRA. It also provides the ability to print off a trail map so your Scout can bring his own and work on his map reading skills. Very handy.

If anyone needs to borrow gear, please let us know quickly. Andy Hudson (andy.hudson@bankofamerica.com, 214-454-3780).

 

Thanks,

Andy
