Shawnee Mountain Ski Trip

Put on your winter gear and Think Snow! Troop 49 will be running an overnight ski trip to Shawnee
Mountain in the Poconos (about an 1 hr 15 min from Oakland). Whether you are a seasoned skier
snowboarder or have never skied before, this is a wonderful opportunity to have some great winter fun.
If hitting the slopes isn’t your cup of tea, spend a day snow tubing, relaxing on the sun deck or doing
some shopping at the nearby outlets. There is something for everyone.

Update: 1/13/13 – the trip is “sold out”. See you on the slopes!

Our plan is to offer the opportunity to complete the Snow Sports merit badge. More details will be provided in future.

Please note we are limited to 45 people in the Hostel so please sign-up early to guarantee you spot. Also, if the scout is a new skier/snowboarder and are unable to negotiate the trails and lifts on his own, a parent or guardian must attend the trip. Also if a sibling will be attending, a parent /guardian must attend as well.
