[Cancelled] 2016 Snow Camp

Due to poor snow conditions, Snow Camp is CANCELLED. We will go for the 22 RIFLE Merit Badge on Mar 13, 2016.

ALTERNATIVE -

22 RIFLE Merit Badge - March 13, 2016 7:45 AM, OnTarget Range, Mission Viejo

• $15/Scout-pay at the door. Parental forms online MUST be completed.

• Scout MUST be in Class A. NO blue jeans. Closed toe shoes.

• Space is limited to 20 Scouts.

If we have snow and snow camp THEN we will re-schedule 22 Rifle Merit Badge. Scouts ONLY at this time- no non-scouts and (no Dads currently). We will have a second merit badge day if there is enough interest.

If conditions are right, the plan is we will ski/shoe several miles on a road to flat area.

We will camp at a likely spot--we don’t need a stream since we can melt snow for water.

It is a fairly gentle climb and all downhill coming back.

There are some gentle slopes to practice skiing and falling down. We can tow sleds.

Activities at the meadow may include building an igloo or snow shelter and snowball fight.
