<<<Rescheduled from November 8th>>>>
In this meeting, we'll be starting the Beat of the Drum elective. We'll have 2 main focuses for this meeting. The first part of the meeting, we'll be learning about legends, what they are, how they originate, and what their purpose is. The boys will be creating their own simple legend and will be developing a skit around the legend that they create (note: we'll be coming back to this skit for several den meetings after this, practicing to present it to the Pack,
The second part of the meeting, the boys will be learning how to make a paracord bracelet. To help prepare you and your son for the meeting, I will follow up with a link for a Youtube video that demonstrates how to weave the paracord for the bracelet..

Overnight camping is included in the experience, but staying over is optional.

RSVP Instructions can be viewed by clicking here.
Please return the RSVP form and payment to Troop 173, BSA, Todd Waters, 179 Marcella Road, Parsippany 07054 by November 15, 2018.
Winnebago is less than 30 minutes from our neighborhood. When you use your mapping software or GPS, use the address 102 Timberbrook Road, Rockaway NJ 07866. One of our adult leaders will meet you upon arrival in camp. We will then walk about ½ mile to our cabin and serve you lunch.
Our facilities for this campout include cabins with electricity and wood-burning stove or gas hot air heat. Cots are provided, but you will need to bring a warm sleeping bag and/or blankets and a pillow. Heated restrooms are available at the Dining Hall which is nearby and where we will have our evening meal. Other information regarding camping equipment can be found in the Boy Scout Handbook.
You do NOT need to bring any cooking equipment or food, but you should bring eating utensils if you have them. (Scouts are strongly discouraged from bringing “junk” food, and handheld electronics (like Ipods) are not permitted.)
Cub Scouts should plan on wearing their uniforms for the evening dinner.
During the campout, the boys will have a chance to try out some Boy Scouting activities, enjoy some hearty Scout cooking (Saturday dinner will be Turkey cooked outdoors over the coals and served with all the trimmings) and have a lot of fun learning some skills as well. We might also do a hike so water bottles and hiking boots would be good idea. They can complete several rank requirements, besides the overnight camping experience.
