Are you itching to get out and start camping as Spring breaks through?
Do you want to keep piling on those camping/tent nights toward rank and Merit Badge requirements?
How about all that cooking that needs to be done in the great outdoors?
Well this trip is for you!
We will be traveling a very short distance to Camp Glen Gray in Mahwah and utiliz the Gillwell campsite (not the cabin). Most of you have been to this campground and it has a easy layout and offers us places to cook, play, hike and work on various scout skills. The site will have firm ground for your tent, platforms and Lean-tos.
Timing: Primany camping evening will be Saturday, March 30th, we will meet and set up camp for lunch and dinner, finishing with breakfast on Sunday morning and a brief hike for those interested. Being close allows all to be ready for the Eagle Court of Honor in the afternoon. If there is a lot of interest, we will open up Friday night, the 29th into Saturday. Adults and siblings (accompanied by a parent, are welcome).
Cooking opportunities:
We already have some scouts that need to prepare two meals for a small group. There might be opportunities for others to cook if we have a larger group participate.
Scout skills:
Various scout skills can be practiced/signed off while on this trip. Senior scouts attending will have the opportunity to help our newer scouts!
Price: $20 per person, per night.

Once again, the primary afternoon/evening is Saturday into Sunday. If there is interest we will open up Friday night, which would then include an extra dinner and breakfast.
