Back by popular demand, Troop 49 will be running an awesome ski trip to OKEMO Mountain Resort in the ski capital of the Northeast, Vermont!! (less than 4 hours from Oakland).

Due to its popularity and abundance of amenities for the scouts, we will be staying in the same awesome house as we did last year. Here is the link to the house rental: https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p331264?

As you’ll see in the rental photos, there is definitely plenty to do at the house after a full day of skiing and snowboarding. Life doesn’t get any better!

Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

9 Norton Rd., Red Hook, NY 12571

845-752-3200

info@oldrhinebeck.org

Come Join Troop 49 and witness first hand these amazing vintage flying machines.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Cole Palen founded the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in 1958 with a handful of airplanes and a dream.  He built it into a world-renowned destination as America’s first flying museum of antique aircraft.  The Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum was established in 1993 as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization to continue Cole’s legacy.  Our mission is preserving, restoring and flying the aircraft of the Pioneer, WWI, and Golden Ages of Aviation.

We entertain and educate by preserving over 60 vintage aircraft, many antique automobiles and motorcycles, and related memorabilia in a classic small town airport setting.  Our static display Museum is open from May through October and we fly two different airshows each Saturday and Sunday, Mid-June through Mid-October. This will be a scout only event, no siblings. Parents are welcome to join us.

Sandy Hook NJ Trip Gateway National Recreation Area September 8-10, 2017 Don’t let summer slip away just yet.  Join us for one final trip “down the shore” September 8-10.  It’s close, so you can come and go to meet your sports, band, and other school responsibilities while still enjoying a little bit more of summer.

 Canoe Trip May 21, 2017

TRIP REGISTRATION HERE: http://www.troop49oakland.org/survey/index.php/298944?lang=en

LOGISTICS:

Meet at the Ramapo River at Halifax Avenue in Mahwah for an 8:15 start. Halifax Road is off Route 202 in Mahwah across from Ramapo College between the Havemeyer House and the tennis courts.  See map below.  Everyone should eat a good breakfast prior to departure.  There are no toilets along the journey, so complete any necessary preparations prior to departure. 😉

NEEDED:

Adults: I need a couple more adults to join the trip
Unloaders: I need a couple of adults to meet me at the put-in at 7:00 to unload the canoes
Shuttle driver: Once we unload, the adults who are joining the trip need to leave vehicles at the take-out.  I need a driver (maybe 2) to meet us at the take-out point in Terhune Park at 7:45 to run the drivers back to the put in point on Halifax drive.  We expect to be back at the put-in for an 8:15 meeting and departure.  If we’re a bit late, please be patient.

GEAR:

  • Clothing appropriate to get WET. No COTTON please.  Bathing suit / nylon shorts and shirt.  Sneakers / Keens / Tevas / nylon running shoes, etc. that can go in the water.
  • Water bottle / water
  • Sun Screen / bug spray.   Our challenge on this trip is likely to be pesky bugs, not water conditions.
  • Hat, sun glasses (optional)

As we get in/out/in/out of the boat, we bring water with us.  There is always a bit of water sloshing around in the bottom boat.  STUFF GETS WET.

FOOD:

  • Food and drink are not provided
  • Bring a bag lunch and some snacks.  PACK THEM IN ZIPLOCK BAGS WITH YOUR NAME ON THEM.  We will drop all of the lunches into one or two large dry bags.  Name is essential if you wish to eat your own lunch.

Pick up will be at Terhune Park in Wayne around 1:00 PM. The Terhune Park entrance is NOT MARKED.  There is a fieldstone wall on the right hand side of the road just before getting to Lamoureaux Lane on the left. The driveway to the park is on the right through the opening in the stone wall.

I’d like to give you a precise pickup time, but pace is dictated by current, wind, and pace of the boys.  If we are way behind, or if river levels are too low, I will devise an alternate pick up and let people know by text or email or scout network …

There is no payment required for the trip.  I do need you to complete the survey so I know how many boats to prepare, and so I have contact information for the day. Sign-up will be posted soon.

Email or call Jim Angus with questions: angusj2002@gmail.com or (201) 236-5066.
