Spring Back Packing, Vesuvius, Wayne National Forest
The Spring Backpacking trip, April 14-16th will be on the Vesuvius Backpacking Trail which is part of the Wayne National Forest near Irontown OH. This is open to any second year scout or older. We will hike ~9-10 miles over 2 days. Those planning to attend should refer to the gear list for Spring Backpacking trip on the Troop website (under “Info”). The Troop has a limited number of backpacks to be loaned out for those who need a backpack, please contact Mr. Menner if you would like to borrow one. During the April 4th meeting we will pull out the backpacks that we have for anyone that would like to borrow one. We will also review what should be included in the pack. All scouts attending must bring a fully packed backpack to the meeting prior, on April 11th for a shakedown. Please return the permission slip and payment by the Troop meeting on April 11th. We will need more adults to attend to make this trip possible.
The scouts should eat before showing up on Friday evening. The troop will provide Saturday Breakfast and Dinner. Scouts should bring a lunch for Saturday, cold breakfast for Sunday and trail snacks they might want. Also bring a bag with clean cloths and shoes that we will leave in the vehicles and change into for the ride home.
