Peters Creek Hike

Scouts & Parents,

This weekend is a scheduled backpack hike & overnight campout up the Peters Creek trail...fairly easy 3-4 miles.  So far we have 1-adult Scouter-Mr. Lundgren & 6-scouts signed up to go.  It would be great if we had about 6 more scouts & mandatory at least 1 more adult to make this happen.   With just one adult, this outing is dead in the water!

Adult parents, committee members, and ASM's are all welcome to hike & camp.  We'll keep this event open until Wednesday night - Thursday morning to call it yes/no, depending on required adult supervision.  This is a perfect opportunity for our older scouts to provide leadership to and work on advancements with the younger boys.  

Approx times 10am Saturday start & return around noon-1 pm on Sunday.  Campers will need trail meals:  2-lunches, 1-breakfast, & 1-dinner., plus snacks & water.  Tents, MSR stoves, & cooking gear can & will be supplied by the troop.  Other gear & backpacks available on request.  Let me know what gear is needed.

Dress for the weather in layers and NO Cotton.   A backpack outing check list was provided in the last email & at Sunday's meeting.  Adjust as needed for overnight trek.  A pre-hike bag/gear inspection will be available upon request for first time hikers / backpackers if needed. ..Thurs or Fri evening.

Let's make this Happen!!!  Please reply to myself & Carl Lundgren to join the crew.

More details will be available Thursday-Fri after final headcount.
