WHAT: This is a cold-weather campout for Scout Troops, Venture Crews, and AOL Dens. There will be patrol competions to demonstrate Scouting skills, a campfire to show off talent, and time for our Scouts to meet other Scouts. 

The patrol competions will take place as a 5-Scout sled race stopping at various stations that will test: survival skills, basic and advanced scouting skils, pioneering skills, first aid, leadership and cooperation. Teams will be assigned a starting station to help reduce backlog at the events. Station assignments will be announced at Saturday morning flags.

Each 5-Scout Team will need to build and bring their own sled. Each team will have one scout riding and four scouts pulling. Scores will be awarded based on how well each patrol works as a team and demonstrates patrol spirit, how they complete skills, overall time and sled design. Trophies will be awarded to first, second, and third place finishers.

All meals will be provided by individual Troops, Crews, and Dens. Due to winterization of camp, NO WATER is available in campsites. Units attending must bring their own.

Saturday nights campfire will consist of an Award Presentation, Flag Retirement Ceremony, and Order of the Arrow call-out. Each Troop, Crew, and Den is requested to come up with a skit or song.

Scouts should be prepared for winter camping and dress accordingly. For more information contact Drake Gard (580-541-8992)
