Troop Camping Weekend - May 22-23

Brownie Troop 72082 is going on a weekend camping adventure!
Save the date! Saturday, May 22 & Sunday, May 23
(We anticipate since this is a weekend trip that each Brownie will be missing a religious service and/or a sporting event.)

We will be having our adventure at Girl Scout Camp Rice Moody in Reading.
We already put down the $100 deposit to have the lodge!
(We needed to go this far as we are a big Troop plus as this is our Troop’s first camping trip, we were looking for an indoor lodge, not outdoor tents.)

Our Troop will be sleeping in a heated lodge, but, we will be doing outdoor adventures including hikes, campfires, etc.

Check-in will be at Noon on Saturday, May 22.
We likely will be having a late check-in option at 5 p.m.
(We still need to work out travel arrangements, so late check-ins may need to drop their daughter(s) off at camp Rice Moody.

We still need to plan our activities, so we do not know at this time if we will be staying at the camp until noon on Sunday, May 23 or stay until mid-afternoon.

We have space for 2 adults to camp with us!
(Actually, we only have 1 spot - as Alyssa's mom has already agreed to help out)
We registered our group as 16 Brownies, 3 leaders, & 2 adults.
There is a possibility we may be camping with another Girl Scout Troop that weekend, as the site can hold 50 Scouts/adults.

The Brownies voted overnight camping as one of the 2 activities they wanted to do before they bridge to Junior Scouts this summer.

The Troop will be completing 2-5 Try-It badges during the weekend.

TENTATIVE Try-It Work:
* 4th activity for the Art-to-Wear Try-it
* Brownies, who were first-graders in the Troop ONLY, will complete Outdoor Adventurer
* completing the Eco-Explorer Try It
* Ready, Set, Go Camping Try-It
* possibly one other Try-It?
