May 3rd - 5th, 2013
The Troop will spend two nights at two different remote campsites on the pristine, beautiful, winding, hammock covered, wildlife filled Econlockhatchee River!
The first night will be a base camp on the rivers edge. The next day, we will launch canoes downstream and head to a remote primitive campsite on "Big Oak Island". There we will enjoy fishing, canoeing, swimming, games, achievements, and everything else primitive camping has to offer.
Hammockers, there are tree-a-plenty. Consider bug netting, they aren't bad, but could be an issue. At least bring bug spray!
TO ATTEND THIS CAMPOUT SCOUTS (NOT PARENTS) MUST DO THE FOLLOWING 2 STEPS:- INFORMATION SHEET - Print it, READ IT, and put it in your Troop notebook Use it to prepare/pack for the trip. Click to view, and then hover near the bottom to save/print OR to download go to the bottom of this page and click the down arrow beside the sheet.
- PARENT PERMISSION FORM - Print it, have your parents sign it, and bring it to the Troop Meeting with payment on April 22nd
- AGENDA - Every Scout needs to bring one of these on the Campout!
SPECIAL PACKING NOTES Use the following to Pack Yourself using these 3 things below. When you’re done, if you are a new scout, have your parents check you:- Personal Camping Gear List in your Scout Book
- Information Sheet printed above
- Your own personal List you already have If you don't have one, CLICK HERE for an example or CLICK HERE to edit/save your own in MsWord. Note, these can be downloaded from Scouts -> Documents & Links any time.
So, here are some additional packing suggestions/requirements that are not in the Scout Book or Information Sheet, but we discussed at the Troop Meeting: NOTE: You Will Be on a Canoe all Day Saturday and Sunday AM. Everything you bring must be water tight. Use garbage bags if you don't have a dry bag! - * Close Toed Shoes - These are REQUIRED and can be purchased at WalMart for as low as $10
- * Water Bottles - To keep you hydrated on the Canoe Trek
- * Whistle (required to wear while canoeing)
- * Sun Protection (sun screen, hats, optional sunglesses)
- Those who are using hammocks, you may be okay this time of year without netting, but if you have it, bring it.
- Entertainment for the ride. Bring a book, magazine, read your scout book for the 2+ hour trip.
- Again, refer to your personal camping list, the scout book, AND the information sheet.
