The Wilderness Survival Campout will be held at Camp Acton (site of the November Cook-a-ree) on the night of Saturday, June 2 – Sunday June
3. The trip will leave from outside RFK Hall at St. Brigid’s at 3:00 PM on Saturday, June 2; plan to arrive around 2:30 to make final arrangements
for transportation and gear. We will return to St. Brigid’s at approximately 12:00 noon on Sunday June 3.
The adult coordinator for this trip is Mike Ames, who can be reached by e-mail atmrames@alum.mit.edu, or by phone (see Troop 160 directory).
Scouts will spend the night using only what they can carry in their pockets to set up “improvised natural shelters” and will start fires without
matches. Scouts who wish to attend the campout should have received training for these skills during recent and upcoming Troop meetings.
Adults who wish to attend the overnight (adults can sleep in tents) or provide transportation should contact Mike Ames. Drivers must have
their vehicle and insurance information on file with the Troop.
Scouts who wish to attend should submit a signed permission slip and $5 payment at the May 24 Troop meeting, or before May 26.
Here is the info and the permission slip.
Regards to all,
Mike Ames
