Troop 850 will hold our annual Service Campout at Mt Airy the weekend of March 16-18. We will perform a service project in the park, but at this time, we do not know what the project will be.

We strongly encourage all Troop 850 Scouts to participate to show our appreciation to Cincinnati Parks for allowing us to use Maple Ridge Lodge for our Dutch Oven Campout at no charge.

Please return the Permission Slip by March 6^th. As in previous years, there is no charge for our Service Campout.

Dutch Oven Campout Feb 10-12

FredM — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:34:28 +0000

Troop 850’s annual Dutch Oven Campout will be held the weekend of February 10-12 in the warmth of Mount Airy’s Maple Ridge Lodge. Under the tutelage of Master Chef Andrew Ciolino, the Scouts will spend Saturday blending, stirring, spicing, pureeing, and decorating a 3 course meal. Some very lucky, specially selected guest judges will feast on the … uh, feast. There will also be time set aside for card playing, sled riding (maybe), and a Saturday night movie with popcorn.

Mass with Father Don will be in the Lodge at 4:30 Saturday and all parents are welcome to join us, but please indicate on the permission slip so we know how many to expect.

Please return the permission slip with fee ($ 20 per person) by Tuesday February 7^th.
