The weather forecast looks like we may encounter some cold weather so please pack accordingly. The scouts will be sleeping in tent’s or lean-to’s so make sure they have their sleeping bags and enough warm & dry clothes, especially since at least one set is guaranteed to get wet with out rafting trip. Please also pack a silver barn type plastic bag so that the scouts can pack a change of clothes to get into after we make it down the river. 

As mentioned previously scouts are NOT permitted to bring cell phones or electronic devices on the trip. Adults going are allowed to bring theirs, we just request that it is solely used for business or important personal matters. Mike will have his cell phone if any parent needs to get in contact with their child. 

Also, we will be rafting on Saturday from 9a-6p. Mike will be leaving his cell phone is his car so during that time we will have essentially no cell phone access at all if you are trying to get in contact with us. 

If anyone has any questions about what to bring please email/call/text Mike

******THIS CONTEST IS NO LONGER RUNNING*******

For October I am giving out my 50 points of discretion out to each and any scout who does the following:

– Pick 2 places of historical importance in Washington DC

– Write a half page on each why that place is important and why you would like to visit it.

We will visit some of the best written entries, where the scout who writes about it will get a chance to be our personal tour guide for that attraction and will also receive bonus points.

It must be submitted to Mike by 10/8, no later than 5p.

This will be the ONLY way to earn the SM discretionary points in the month of October.

I am very pleased to announce that the Troop now has a scout who will be the webmaster.
