Pig-themed

by

Camporee

Troop 540,

We are all set for the Camporee at Earl Reservoir in Highland Mills. For those that don’t know how to get to the site, here are directions.

Each scout needs to bring a non-perishable canned food item to the Camporee this Friday. Also, you need to come to the site in some sort of “PIG”-themed attire.

Please have your child eat dinner prior to getting to the camp site.

Also, please bring your own snacks on this trip and be prepared to put them in the trailer with your names on them.

Here is a map of where we will be staying on the grounds this weekend.

Drop off time is 6:00pm on Friday night and pick-up time is 10:00am on Sunday morning.

The following families need to copy and print both sides of their health insurance cards and hand them into Hiram Ramos on Friday night:

  • Struhar
  • Rodriquez
