We are camping at General Andrews State Forest in northern Minnesota October 9-11. Cost $30. We will gather at Nativity at 4:00 PM on Friday October 9. We will return to Nativity around 11:00 AM on Sunday. We will follow Tomahawk camping rules, which means all scouts need to tent alone, tent with family, or sleep in hammocks. We will drive to the camp site, Willow River Campsite and camp Friday night. Families should decide on their own whether they want to let their scouts carpool while wearing masks, or whether the families want to drive their scout to the camp site. Saturday morning, we will go on a ten mile hike. We expect all scouts planning to attend Philmont to bring a camping backpack as part of the initial conditioning for Philmont. Other scouts can choose to bring a backpack, or can just hike without one. We plan to eat a trail lunch on Saturday. Saturday night we will return to our camp site for the night. Scouts should plan accordingly to hike, including appropriate trail shoes and water bottles. Scouts should bring a compass if they have one. |
