Details: By request Troop 49 is going fishing! Fleet 49 will depart OLPH at 5pm Friday September 6th. We will head down to the GSP South to Exit 120: Laurence Harbor Matawan. Bring your dinner as you will most likely will eat on the road. Once the troop is settled in at the campsite dessert will be provided. The Dorothy B the boat we will be going on offers two trips on Saturday. We are most likely taking the afternoon trip 1:30-6:00. This means a hot breakfast, cold lunch and hot dinner Saturday. In our down time scouts/sibling can fish in the lake at the campsite (technically licenses are required for those 16 and older). Sunday will be a grab and go breakfast and ETA at OLPH at 11am. Scouts have opportunity to work on the Fishing Merit Badge, earn tent nights and work on the Cooking Merit Badge. We will be traveling light as the troop trailer will not be with us. The troop will be going old school with patrol boxes holding cooking gear and supplies.
