For years, you have all asked for real winter camping.  Mother nature has finally accommodated your request and you now get your chance.

Mr. Dalton and Mr. Grocki are running a thru hiking adventure on the Appalachian Trial the weekend of January 25th.

This is a Saturday to Sunday activity- so for Meal planning just three meals are required and dehydrated/backpacking meals are acceptable.

We need to get a head count soon- so registration will close next Monday and on the 20th.

Remember there is no such as bad weather just the wrong clothing and gear- so be prepared as winter camping is no joke!  With that said one of my favorite camping trips as a scout was a winter camping trip when it snowed, so have fun!!!

Who: Everyone in Troop 131 is invited!
What: Winter Camping

When: SATURDAY 25 Jan – Sun 26 Jan 2025
Where: Appalachian Trial
Cost: Just $10 for everyone

This is a real backpacking trip, not car camping. So:

1- Patrols, start talking about food plans tomorrow!
2- Start thinking about your packs and how much to put in it
3- Start talking about water options
4- Start making a list of equipment you need (from the Scouts and from the Troop, or from the store)
Sign up so we can start the planning early- A Scout Is Prepared
If you haven’t already done so, please fill out the standard Permission slip:

Food is by Patrols, so PLEASE make sure your Scout knows the plan for eating.

Checks delivered at the Monday Meeting to the Treasurer or Committee Chair- they should be made payable to “BSA Troop 131.”  Please put in the notes the activity you are paying for.  Credit Cards at the Monday Meeting (if the treasurer is in attendance) – Processed by the Troop Treasurer.
·        Zelle Account Transfer:
·        Name: TreasurerT131
·        Email: treasurert131@gmail.com
·        That is TreasurerT131 just to reiterate the “T131” aspect.
·        Please put in the notes what activity you are paying for.
Zelle is the easiest and most seamless.
Please let me know if you have any questions.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!
