Good afternoon, Troop!

Next month is our annual family campout at Mohican Wilderness. For those that are new to the troop, this is an event that we attend every year which encourages families and scouts to participate in camping, canoeing, a torch-light hike to an old cemetery, ghost stories, a costume party and more. This is also a recruiting event where we invite Webelos from Pickerington packs to join us in the fun.

We will depart Friday evening 10/7, and return Sunday morning 10/9. The cost for this event is $30 per person. Permission slip is attached. The due date for the permission slip and money is 9/29.

More details about the location can be found at http://www.mohicanwilderness.com/index.php. As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Mr. Moorman

If you can not, then please let me know and I will collect it from you on 9/15. We will be paying the final fees to River Expeditions at the end of this week.

For information about our destination and the FAQ please refer to http://www.raftinginfo.com/Trip-Planner/FAQs/. I will be at the 9/8 meeting at 8:15pm this week to answer any questions and collect permission slips, money, and liability waivers.

Thank you,
Mr. Moorman

When the troop leaders arrives on Sunday June 19 to depart for summer camp would you please move the trailer to Spence Funeral Home parking lot to the far side near the street with a traffic light. I believe that I heard that leaders and Scouts are to arrive at 7:00am.

When the scouts arrive have them meet by the trailer at Spence Funeral Home. Doing this will eliminate any possible parking lot issues that may be experienced for the 8:00 Mass Sunday morning and allow for parking for parents who wish to remain until departure.

The biggest flow of traffic occurs between 7:30 and 7:45 for the 8:00 Mass. Do not use the part of Spence's parking lot near to the church. That is used for overflow parking for Seton.
