June -
06/15 - 17 - Spring Campout - Sprague Brook Park. This is a BYOT (bring your own tent) event. Other than this being a tent campout it follows the same type of schedule as the Winter campout - leave Friday night and come home Sunday after breakfast. Meet at St. Pete's (or head directly to Sprague Brook for veteran campers) around 6pm. What to bring is also just about the same - we provide the food, you provide the rest. Bring bikes to ride around the park, sports equipment (baseball, wiffle ball, frisbee...), fishing gear to fish in the ponds (catch and release), camp chairs, creek walking gear, swimsuit, and several pairs of sneakers. Kids can't stay away from water. There are indoor bathrooms at Sprague Brook and shower facilities at the campground area. We camp in the open field behind the tennis courts - which is free for Scouts.
Just a reminder: All parents are responsible for their children and are expected to help out with cooking and clean up. All boys are reminded to use the buddy system and let your parent know where you are going.
