Fall Family Camp is Fri-Sun, Oct 26-28 at
Bert Adams Scout Reserve in Covington, GA. Please go to the FFC 2012 page to get
more info and fill in the pre-registration form WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL BE
ATTENDING. We want to get a
response from everyone so we can be sure everyone has been notified. Please do this ASAP, but at least by Oct 10th. We will
also have a sign up sheet at the Rain Gutter Regatta Pack meeting this weekend
(Reminder for Sat, Oct 6th: Sign-in boats between 8:00 – 9:00 AM, event starts
at 9:00).
Please read through all the info and attached files on the FFC 2012 page for more
details, but here are some key points:
- COST: Cost is $10 per scout. Siblings in 1st-5th grade
can attend and participate, also for $10 each. There’s no charge for adults or
non-participating siblings. Payments can be submitted at the Oct 6th pack
meeting or your Oct Den Meeting. As always, make checks payable to “Pack 815”,
or pay with cash.
- HEALTH FORM: A BSA Health Form (Parts A & B) must be
submitted for every person (scouts, parents, siblings, etc.) who will be
attending. The form is available on the website link above. Turn these in with
your payment. Additional copies of the form will be available at Raingutter if
needed.
- PARENT MEETING: We are considering have a separate
parent meeting during the week leading up to the camping trip to meet with
everyone who’s going and to answer any questions about the trip (what to bring,
tents, food, etc.). Please indicate on the pre-registration form if you are
interested in attending such a meeting (probably on the afternoon of Sun, Oct
21). This would be especially useful if you’ve never been to Bert Adams (or
camping for that matter).
- ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: It’s about a 70 minute drive in light
traffic from Murdock to Bert Adams. You can arrive at
Bert Adams as early as 3:00 PM on Friday, Oct 26th. Good news – that week is
early release at school, so you should be able to get on the road ahead of
Friday rush hour traffic. Depart from Bert Adams 9:30 – 11:00 AM on Sunday
morning.
- MEALS: You’re on your own for dinner Friday, lunch on
Saturday, and breakfast on Sat and Sun. The Pack will eat dinner together on
Saturday evening, so we will need volunteers for a Camp Cooking Committee to
help plan and prepare this meal. There will likely be an additional charge per
person to cover the cost of this meal (amount TBD). Also, on Friday night you
will have the option to purchase meals (hamburger/hotdog, chips, & drink)
for $5 each, payable at time meals are picked up. Please indicate on the
pre-registration form how many Friday dinners you will purchase and if you want
to volunteer with the Cooking Committee.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Greg Foreman
Pack 815 Committee Chair/Wolf Den Leader
