Fall Hikeoree/Camporee
By MrBroekhuis | September 7, 2010
Next month, on October 16th, the Boy Scouts will be hiking through Harrisburg in a big Hikeoree/Camporee event. Troop 72 will be going, leaving on Friday October 15th to camp out near Hershey, spending Saturday on the big hike through Harrisburg, and camping again overnight into Sunday. The Troop has invited us to come along, and camp one or two nights. We’re thinking it would work best to camp out with the Troop on Friday night and join them for the hike, to return on Saturday evening. You can also come for just the hike, but that means getting an early start on Saturday morning to arrive in Harrisburg on time.
Regardless of whether you camp out, this event counts towards the requirement for Arrow of Light “Visit a Boyscout-oriented outdoor activity” (page 64 in your Webelos handbook). For Webelos II, it will be one of only two or three opportunities to meet this requirement – so get it on your calendars now!
The cost for the Friday night camp-out and hike is $12 (if some of you want to stay the extra night, the cost would be $17). Cost for just the hike on Saturday is $3.
We’ll have more detailed information in October – for now, take a look at the flyer from Troop 72 and the Flyer from Minsi Trails Council.
Please discuss your plans for this weekend in your den meetings next week, and let me know no later than Sunday, September 19th if you plan to attend.
I hope many of you can make it – we’ll have great fun camping and hiking with the Boy Scouts!
