2019-11-01 16:00 - 2019-11-03 12:00 | Baiting Hollow Scout Camp, 1774 Sound Ave, Calverton, 11933, United States
Webelos Woods is at Baiting Hollow Scout camp, and we will be manning the BB Range again this year.
Sunset is at 6:00 pm these days, so I am planning on meeting at the high school at 4:30 in the afternoon, and packing up and leaving for camp after that. If you and/or your boy can’t make that, you can come out at a later time. The campsite is Dan Beard which is our usual site just after the dining hall on the right. I may need help with transporting boys in the afternoon when we go out, so let me know if you can help with that. Some people may be going later, so let me know that so I can help group people together.
If you are planning on coming out Saturday morning, keep in mind that it gets very crowded early Saturday morning, so leave yourself some extra time. The webelos are usually told to be out at camp by 7:00 am in the morning.
The cost for the trip will be $20.00 for the boys, and the adults are free. The money is for the food and the patch.
A map of where things are is attached

Anthony Foraci is doing some of his Eagle Scout project tomorrow, 11:00 am at the Elk’s lodge in Centereach, 41 Horseblock Road. Anthony’s project is to repair a wall in the back of the lodge, and then paint several walls in the back.
He is doing the painting tomorrow, and can use all the help he can get. Again, it will start at 11:00 am at the Elk’s lodge in Centereach, and go for a couple of hours, not too long. If you can come down and help, I’m sure Anthony would greatly appreciate it.
Remember to wear warm clothes, and old clothes. No class A or B uniforms.
We will be painting and we don’t want paint on our uniforms, so wear old clothes you are not afraid to get paint on.
Remember this counts toward community service and rank advancement.
For the boys that come to me for board of reviews for rank advancement, this is your time to do something you can use for that.
