Our November Campout will be 12-14 at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch (SR2). The program will focus on Climbing .  Permission forms are due Monday, November 8.  Transportation: We will officially allow pre-arranged transportation on this campout, i.e. parents can pre-arrange for their Scout to be transported to and from the campout by another parent, but again, you the parent must work this out with another parent – this is not a drop-off scenario like we did pre-COVID.  Grub money ($15 per scout/$20 per adult) is due with your Permission Slip on Monday, November 8-- get it to your grubmaster so they can plan for you!

Kilts!

November's campout is the annual Highland Games, so if you don't already have a kilt, NOW is the time to get one. For those new to the big wide world of Scouts -- just what ARE the Highland Games? I'm glad you asked! The Highland Games are an annual Council-wide gathering of Boy Scouts, Explorers and Venturing Crews which features traditional Scottish games: weights, hammers, axe throwing and much more. Scouts (and leaders) will compete in fun and challenging Celtic tests of strength, endurance and skill.  So, if you're going to be part of the action, you should dress the part, right?! The kilts are made-to-measure and cost $15. To order, bring your $15 to the Committee Room and see Mrs. Hunter. (Moms, if you can help sew, we could really use your help. It's easy, and we will provide you with everything you need.)
