May Campout

Our May Campout will be 14-16 at Fort Richardson STate Park. The program will focus on CYCLING. 

Permission forms are due by 5/3 and meal planning/patrol assignments will be done at the 5/3 Troop meeting because we have COH on May 10th. 

Transportation: We will officially allow pre-arranged transportation on this campout, i.e. parents can pre-arrange for their Scout to be transported to and from the campout by another parent, but again, you the parent must work this out with another parent – this is not a drop-off scenario like we did pre-COVID. 

For the cycling component, while we will work on the cycling merit badge to the greatest extent possible, the merit badge is too extensive to complete at one campout. 

You must bring your own bicycle, which must be either a mountain bike or hybrid for gravel path – skinny tires on a road/street bike will not be allowed - too dangerous. 

You must wear a bike helmet in order to ride your bicycle at this campout.

You must have a way of transporting your own water either via water bottle holder on your bike, backpack for water bottle, or hydration pack.

Your bicycle must arrive for transport to the campout with properly inflated tires ready to ride – we do not have the time or resources to make bicycle repairs. iii. Camping merit badge: There will be an opportunity on this campout to complete a 15 mile bike ride, as required for this merit badge also.

The Permission Form may be found HERE.  These are to be turned in to Mr Hunt.

Grub money ($15 per scout/$20 per adult) will be due at the May 3 Troop meeting.
