Hi Friends,
The following message is being sent on behalf of Steve Wilburn, Old Hickory Council Scout Executive.
Due to Safety Concerns, the Parent/Cub Adventure Weekend at Camp Raven Knob schedule for this weekend has been CANCELLED!
As of 1pm today, Camp Raven Knob has had 6.5 inches of rain from Hurricane Michael (more than the total from Florence). With the ground already saturated, and the potential of more rain and heavy winds, we are cancelling this weekends event. The wind and saturated ground has created the likelihood for downed trees and extreme high water in the camps lakes and stream. As well as the possibility of washed out roadways and trails. We will not be able to fully assess any damage until the storm has passed. Of course, the forecast for this weekend is for nice weather, but the possibility of uprooting trees in the soft soil remain. Additionally, the excessive rainfall has softened road beds and saturated program areas and campsites.
