Due to the rain we've swapped our January and February camping plans for safety issues.  Mud Caves needs to dry out a bit before we go out there.

January will now be Snow Camp

February will now be Mud Caves

If you've already paid for mud caves and sign up for Snow Camp, we'll transfer th funds.

Bring your sleds and toobs!  Plan for a great day of playing in the snow!

Cost is $25 per Scout and $15 per adult. This includes food from Sat Breakfast thru Sun Breakfast.  Bring cash for Sunday lunch on the road home.

Meet in the MO-2 lot at church on Friday 1/25 at 5:30pm.  

We will be going to Chilao Campground in the Angeles Crest Forest. It is at 5,300 feet but should be below the snow line. On Saturday we will continue up the hill in search of snow to play for the day. Toboggans, tubes, and other snow toys are encouraged. Aiden has also told me that they will be doing the whittling chip, fire safety and other requirements for the new scouts…..so come on out! We will meet at the Donut Lot at the church at 5:30pm on Friday and return on Sunday early afternoon.

Remember this is a cold weather camp so we need to make sure that we have the right gear (sleeping bag, sleeping pad, etc.). The temperature at night looks like mid 30s to 40 degrees and 65 during the day at the campsite.

COLD WEATHER CAMPING INSTRUCTION will be during the 1/21 Troop meeting.

Special Gear for use in caves

   Bring a helmet for safety in the caves.
   Gloves would be recommended
   Flashlight and/or headlamp...  I'd recommend both!
   Long pants - you may be crawling at some points.  Jeans would be ideal.
                    A day pack may be a good idea too for carrying water, etc.

NO SCOUT LEFT BEHIND
Troop 918 has a policy that no Scout should stay home due to finances.  We have been blessed with the ability to assist where there is a need.  If this would make a difference in your Scout participating, we want to discreetly help.
Please contact our any of the following people:  Scoutmaster Mike Karn, Committee Chair Simon Akhaven or Acitivites Chair, ASM Dave Klein.
