Due to the recent Ice Storm – Windblown Ski Area will not be able to open as scheduled. We are still planning the Winter Camp Out for January 17th – 18th but have changed the location to Hidden Valley, NH.
There is lots of snow at Hidden Valley!
Initial pack check for winter camp out this week (January 8th) during Troop meeting!!
Don’t forget:
Winter boots (big enough to wear 2 pairs heavy wool socks)
Extra socks, mittens (warmer then gloves), heavy cap
Remember—- LAYERS—– with wind proof outer shell for jacket and pants.
Warm sleeping bag and pad
No jeans, no cotton.
We will be sledding and hauling our gear in on sleds as well—bring a sled or borrow a sled!!
Please look at Troop 160 website for complete check list for winter camping.
Bring the 10 essentials—-look them up in the Boy Scout handbook if you don’t know what they are!!
After the 1st pack check, we will have a final pack check the following week (January 15)
See you soon.
