Ramapo Mountains Camping – Camp Glen Gray, NJ
March 1-3, 2013
Hiking, cooking, and advancement activities – that’s the short summary for this weekend’s cabin camping outing. The Patrol Leaders are planning a fun weekend of activities scouts enjoy most, and that provide opportunities for advancement.
We will depart for Glen Gray on Friday night about 6:00 PM. Plan to have eaten before we depart, or bring along a portable dinner to eat after arrival. We’ll have a snack later in evening after we get settled. On Saturday, we may have a hike or trail maintenance opportunity – plans are still in development – and there will be opportunity to earn Firem’n Chit and Tot’n Chip certificates, as well as many other requirements. For more senior scouts, there will be plenty of opportunity to use the EDGE method to teach skills to new scouts.
We’ll plan to wrap up on Sunday about 11:00.
The Ramapo Mountains are a beautiful backdrop for outdoor adventure, and located right in our neighborhood. This trip will depend on the weather, and we will curtail the hiking portion of the trip if the ground is snow covered or icy.
