| Canoeing |
 Maury River | The troop's canoe trip was May 10-12, Mother's day weekend. The cost for the trip was $35.00 per person going on the river. This covered the outfitter and food costs for the weekend. The adults did all of the cooking.
We camped at Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista, VA, which is about 200 miles away [directions]. Buena Vista boasts a population of 6,003 and three grouchy old men! We did Trip G, which put in at Buena Vista and let out at Glasgow. It took us about 4 hours to travels the 12 miles and encountered class I and class II+ rapids. Navigating these points weren't bad due to the Maury River level of 1.9. The water temperature was a refreshing 67°. Canoeing merit badge requirements could have been satisfied by making this trip. |  weather forecast |
| Camporee - Camp Durant |
 | The Spring Camporee was at Camp Durant. We left at 6:00 pm on Friday, April 12 and returned Sunday at around 11:30 pm. There were NO STOPS FOR FOOD going there or coming back. Get directions to Camp Durant. |  weather forecast |
| Washington, DC |
 | The trip to Washington was on March 8-10. The cost was $15.00 boy. This covered the cost of food and Metrorail pass. The troop took care of the rest of the meal and other costs associated with the trip. We stayed at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, VA. Requirements for Citizenship in the nation merit badge were satisfied by making this trip. We visited the Smithsonian museums and toured the mall area. | weather forecast |
| Medoc Mountain State Park |
 | Our weekend camping trip to Medoc Mountain State Park was on February 8 - 10. We returned at 11:30 AM on Sunday. The weekend was vitally important in the growth and development of leadership within the troop and I urged all of you to be sure that your son(s) attend this campout. Attendance on campouts has been less than satisfactory lately -- it is during the outings that the scouts learn to put into action the things they learn during the weekly meetings. Camping is the backbone of Scouting and without proper attendance, the weekend will not be successful and individual progress toward rank advancement and leadership positions will be hampered. Please help us to help your son, we cannot do it without YOUR help and support! |  weather forecast |
| Camp Campbell |
 |
We left for our first weekend camping trip of 2002 to Camp Campbell. It was from January 18 - 21. During the weekend we hiked into camp Friday night, using map and compass (directions provided to the boys - orienteering)...and nobody got lost!? On Saturday we have planned a Junior Leader Training program (with VCR tape and lessons) and Saturday afternoon, another orienteering trail which will be a contest between patrols for a VERY nice prize.
