The November "Pig Roast" Camping Trip will be Saturday November 19 and Sunday November 20 at the troop campsite in Milford. This will be our famous pig roast dinner (with some hot dogs and other food too). The campout will feature outdoor games and contests to align with our monthly program theme: Indian Lore, to include hatchet throwing, tree chopping, log throwing, archery, fire building. We’ll also throw some highland games in for good measure, like caber tossing. We have invited some Webelos to attend as well. We will have a troop campfire Saturday night. The troop will provide a complete dinner and breakfast along with all the eating utensils, cups, plates, etc. The scouts will be planning the meals, activities, and doing the cooking for the weekend.

We will meet at St. Mary’s parish center at 9:00 AM Saturday November 19 and will return to the parish center by 12 Noon on Sunday for pickup on the 20th. Scout should bring their regular camping gear and bag lunch for Saturday. As always, scouts can come/leave early late, etc, if they have conflicts with sporting or other local events. If you need to come or leave early, please note that on the permission slip. We will need a few parents to drive to/from the event.

If your son is planning to attend, please return the permission slip by the Nov 10 troop meeting along with a check for $12 to cover the cost of the food for the weekend. If your son can’t make the Nov 10th troop meeting but wants to attend, please call or email Phil Bedard before the 10th so we can include him in planning for the event.
