2019 First Class Campout
What: 1st Class Campout. A great opportunity for new Scouts to learn the basic Scout Skills required for Tenderfoot through First Class ranks. A great opportunity for older Scouts to practice those same Scout skills and teach others!
Who: All Troop 11 Scouts. Parents, particularly parents of our newest Scouts, are invited to join the “Fossil” (adult) Patrol. We will camp near the Scouts but function as our own separate group. We will be in our own tents, cooking & eating as a patrol.
When: Friday, April 26 to Sunday, April 28. Arrive Friday evening at 5:30 pm at the Christ Church gravel parking lot (in front of Meals on Wheels). Arrive having already eaten supper. Return will be Sunday afternoon. Scouts will call their parents about 1 hour away from Mt. Pleasant.
Where: Chattooga Belle Farm / 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, SC 29658 (in the upper North West corner of SC).
Cost: $40 per participant (Scout or adult) to cover $15 food and $25 transportation. Pay by April 15. Please pay via PayPal at https://www.troop11mp.org/payment-center.html.
RSVP: You must RSVP to be included on the outing. Both Scouts and adults must RSVP and pay by April 15 at https://www.troop11mp.org/2019-first-class-camping.html.
Meals: Meals will be planned, by patrol, at the April 15 troop meeting. Adults will also plan menus then.
Details: Troop 11, it’s time for another high adventure outing in the beautiful outdoors of the foothills of South Carolina. We will camp less than a half a mile from where the vehicles are parked, but we will backpack our gear to our campsite. Bring $10.00 for lunch on our return trip (also, pack a few snacks for any time.) Coolers and camp chairs are allowed.
Be Prepared: Changing weather conditions are to be expected. Layers of clothing and NO Cotton clothing work best. Rain is always a possibility, so make sure you have your rain jacket and rain pants (great outer layer for rain, wind and cold). Keeping your extremities warm and dry is key. 2 pairs good hiking socks, gloves and hat that will keep the ears covered. Don’t forget your thermals; both top and bottom. Bring boots or sturdy shoes for a 5-mile day hike. For further guidance on what to bring, see: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwoBr1_qhE-1V2JJSkdBM19YTDA. For information on how to best pack your pack, see: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwoBr1_qhE-1MEdjalhjSVRfRzg

2019 Summer Camp
Please read the important summer camp information below. Sign up and $100 deposits are due by Feb 1st with the balance due by 5/20/2019, so please act quickly. After much research and thought, Troop 11 Scouts have chosen Woodruff Scout Camp and High Adventure programs are in the North Georgia Mountains. Troop 11 will be attending June 8-15, 2019. Please sign up at https://www.troop11mp.org/2019-summer-camp-rsvp.html by January 28.
Cost: $530 MOUNTAINEER (First Year Scouts) The Mountaineer Program is designed for those Scouts who have either just crossed over from Webelos or have limited camping experience. As new rank requirements are adopted, the Mountaineer Program is constantly under review and revision to meet those requirements. In addition, feedback from Scoutmasters and other Scout leaders is utilized to retain those portions of the program that have proven to be effective and change those areas in need of improvement. Basic Scout skills for the inexperienced Scout form the basis of the program. Mountaineer is a two-hour program held every morning all week. There are two sessions every day. The remainder of the day, Scouts can work on merit badges that may interest them or participate in Troop activity periods. Scouts are instructed in the following skill areas: woods tools, meal preparation and cooking, pioneering, knots, orienteering, nature, first aid, and outdoor citizenship. In addition, Scouts can participate in a five-mile hike, on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings.
Cost: $530 BASE CAMP WOODRUFF. Each youth participating at Woodruff has included in his camp fee one offsite activity. That offsite activity could be either rafting the Nantahala or the Ocoee River, the Horsemanship Merit Badge, or possibly the Whitewater Merit Badge. A second offsite activity may be available for an additional fee.
HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAMS. High adventure programs for older Scouts are individually priced. See the camp web site for information on these.
Price includes all camp fees, plus round trip bus fare and lunch on the return trip.
Payment: Please pay a deposit of $100 no later than February 1st. The total owed must be paid by May 20 or the Scout will be dropped from registration. Pay via PayPal at https://www.troop11mp.org/payment-center.html.
Programs: Camp options include MOUNTAINEER (for first-year Scouts), Base Camp Woodruff, and high adventure programs. Learn more at https://www.campwoodruff.org/summer-camp.
