Yorktown

Parents,

We will need to be at the USS Yorktown by 7:00 pm Friday.  Plan on five hours for the trip, which includes a break to stop to eat. The calendar on the pack website has the address to the aircraft carrier.  We will be participating in the aviation activity and harbor tour on Saturday.  Don’t forget to bring your BSA health forms, Class A and B uniform (preferably your blue Pack 934 t-shirt), pillow, sleeping bag, personal hygiene items, and warm clothing.  It was fairly cold and windy two years ago.  You will have to carry all of your belongings across a 600 ft. pier.  There will be a mandatory fire drill Friday night.

Last minute reminders

If you’re coming to Parent Son, here’s a few reminders:

Don’t forget to bring your son’s uniform.

Health forms need to be printed out and signed.

If I look like my head is going to explode, it’s probably because I need help 🙂

Health form link updated

I updated the link on the Forms page for the BSA Health Form.  Every attendee needs to bring this form with them and give it to me at the campsite.  I will have the Health Forms at the next Pack meeting to return if you want it back.  After the Pack meeting the forms that remain will be shredded.

Remember the form is required for everyone, not just scouts.

Camp Raven Knob Parking & campsite assignments

I’ve had a few questions about parking for Camp Raven Knob. When you arrive, you can drive to the campsite to unload. Then you will have to park in a designated area. For our sites the parking area is the field beside the archery range. You’ll see the area on your left before you get to our sites.

I’m not sure which site is the first one you will see in the right, but the first of our assigned sites will be Webelos Is & IIs. Tigers, Wolves, and Bears will be at the 2nd site. Some Bears may have to camp at the first site as overflow.

All meals will be served at the first site. Depending on picnic tables we will probably be eating at both sites.

Deadline extended for Parent Son Camporee

Tomorrow night is the absolute deadline to sign up for the 2012 Parent Son Camporee.  So far there are 46 scouts signed up!  Don’t miss out on a fun camping event for you and your son!

The Pack has a few tents that are available to borrow.  Please email me to reserve one.  They are first come, first served.

Also, our dessert Saturday night will be Dutch Oven desserts.  There will be a contest to see who the master of the cast iron is in our Pack!  We also have a few dutch ovens available for anyone that wishes to join in the cooking.  The Pack will supply the charcoal!  You just need to bring your recipe and the ingredients.  For those with nut allergies we will have alternate desserts available.  Even if you are bringing your own dutch oven, please let me know if you plan on participating so I can plan accordingly!
