Webelo Camping Trip Reminder & Details

Posted on by

Dear All,

I hope you are all well. Our Webelo Camping Trip is coming up on Friday, 11/20/15. We will be camping in the bunkhouse at Raven Point, a local Sea Base. The actual address is 1 Raven Point Rd, Southmont, NC  27351. However for the purposes of GPS systems, please use address for Hagan Sea Base (across the street) 781 Scout Road, Lexington, NC 27292. Upon arrival there are signs to direct you to Raven Point.

The drive time is approximately an hour from Mt Tabor UMC.

Our Webelo leaders are encouraging the parents to let the boys camp with just the leaders and give the parents the weekend off.

I know some of our parents were on the fence about sending their sons camping “on their own”. Please email me back and verify with me as to if you are camping with your son or not. We need a solid headcount for food.

Those boys traveling without parents should be at Mt Tabor UMC by 5:30 pm. Friday dinner is on your own so please be sure your scout has eaten before you bring them to the church.

Boys traveling with a parent should arrive at the Sea Base by 7:00 pm.

The menu for the trip is:

  • Breakfast on Saturday, – grits, oatmeal, oranges, bananas & orange juice
  • Lunch on Saturday – sandwiches – Various lunch meats and american cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato, condiments, chips, apples and lemonade
  • Dinner on Saturday Walking Tacos, which are essentially loaded nachos in a Fritos bag.  We would have Frito chips, ground beef, refried beans, Colby jack cheese, lettuce tomatoes, salsa and onion.
  • Breakfast on Sunday – grits, oatmeal, oranges, bananas & orange juice and whatever leftovers the kids request.

The boys should bring:

  • Sleeping bags
  • Pillows
  • Clothes
  • Jacket
  • Pullover
  • Socks
  • Shoes – extra pair
  • Water bottle
  • Flashlight/head lamp
  • toothbrush/paste
  • Small towel
  • Pocket Knife
  • Nerf Gun that shoots small standard darts (don’t bring darts)

Some of the activities for the weekend include hiking, beginning and advanced fire building and Nerf Gun activities. Please have your scout bring a nerf gun that shoots small standard darts. DO NOT BRING DARTS, THE PACK WILL PROVIDE THEM.

For those boys traveling without parents, we are planning to arrive back in town around 10:00 AM on Sunday morning. Here is the tricky part: Due to the church services and construction space restriction, we will meet across the street from the church at Leinbach park.  We will contact you if there are return arrival changes in timing.

Take care-
