Dear Parents

As you know, our Winter Camp is being held from Friday, January 27-Sunday January 29th out at the Yoho Scout Reserve.

Directions to the Scout Reserve can be found here.

Drop off will be any time after 6:30pm, Friday and pick-up is at 11am Sunday. If your Cub Scout is coming for the day on Saturday only, please have them to the main lodge by 12 noon.

Cost for the camp is $30 for the weekend, or $5 for Saturday afternoon, and $15 for Saturday/Sunday. If paying by cheque, please make it payable to 1st New Maryland Scout Group.

We will be sleeping outside in our new cabin tent. It is heated with a wood stove, so please make sure your Cub has appropriate gear, including an extra blanket for inside their sleeping bag, an extra toque and pair of mittens for sleeping in. The tent will be nice and warm, but this will keep them warmer. If the weather is inclement, we will sleep in the main lodge, but please be prepared for either.

Saturday is our annual Operation Snowball, an event for all Beaver and Cub Scouts in the area. We expect more than 200 youth out for the afternoon. This camp is always the highlight of our winter!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the leaders.
