Hi everyone,

We had such a fantastic time at Scoutmasters. The kids had a blast on Saturday participating in so many activities. Our pack won three awards! 1st Place for Best Gateway, 1st Place for Best Campsite and 2nd Place for Best Overall Gateway!

Thank you to all the parents that brought their children out to join us. Special thanks to parents Austin, Armando, Emiliya, John, Jody & Warren for helping the kids learn how to build the gateway and being there to oversee them, while keeping parents hands off!! The boys are now award winning pros!

I personally want to thank everyone who jumped in to help out with everything that needed to be done and there was a lot! We couldn’t do it without everybody pitching in.

So, onto our next camp out!! We will be camping in the Keys. This was such a fun Campout last year, we just had to do it again!!

The game plan is to arrive on Friday, meals on your own, and set up camp. Saturday will be filled with activities! In the morning we will be setting up the BB and archery range, alternating dens. While one den is at the range, the remaining dens will be spending time in the water looking for marine life and enjoying time with the other scouts. You are welcome to bring fishing rods to throw in lines when you can!

In the afternoon we have special arraignments to tour the Coast Guard station in Key West. This is a great opportunity for our boys to explore the facilities and have a up close look at what the Coast Guard does for us!

Please sign up as soon as possible! The more, the merrier! Sign up and payments are due by March 4th! Click here for sign up and turn in payment at either your next den meeting, at Cut the Car night on Friday the 21st, the Parent leader meeting on March 4th or mail it directly to Nell Forrester, checks payable to Pack 183! Checks must be received no later than March 4th.

If you have any questions, please email Warren Howard or myself at campingchair183@gmail.com I will send out another email closer to the date with full details on menu and schedule. In the meantime, in addition to the usual camping gear, I do HIGHLY, recommend water shoes, as the area we will be exploring has very sharp and slippery rocks! Walmart has a decent select for a good price.

I hope to see a great turn out!
