Good Evening everyone, I hope all is well and everyone is having a great week so far.

As you know this weekend, we are going camping to Glen Gray. The camp is located at 200 Midvale Mountain Road in Mahwah, NJ.

We will be staying in the Benedict Cabin and adjacent tent site. We will be meeting at the church at 6:00 pm on Friday. The cost of $25 for the weekend will be collected at this time.

Scouts and Adults are reminded to bring their mess kits utensils, water bottle, scout handbook, and rain gear.

Please make sure you bring your sleeping bag and mat. You should pack enough clothes for two days and make sure you pack warm clothes as it is supposed to be on the chilly side this weekend.

Please make sure you eat before we leave on Friday, as we are not planning on stopping on the way up to camp.

As of this moment, we are ok with transportation. Please reach out to me if you are able to provide transportation if the need arises.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at 646-354-0743 or [email protected].

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!
