Camping 10/23 - 10/24

Camping and Rain Gutter Regatta at Camp Rushton / Camp Winnataska is still tentatively planned for this weekend. We'll be paying close attention to the weather for Friday night and Saturday. If we do get rained out, we may still hold the Regatta some time on Saturday. I'll try and keep the blog updated in the event that that is the case.

Directions:
If you are coming from Birmingham -
Take I-20 E (towards Atlanta) to the Brompton exit (#147)
TURN RIGHT onto Kelly Creek Rd.
TURN LEFT at AL-4 E/US-78 E and go up the mountain
TAKE THE FIRST RIGHT and continue on that road until you see the Camp Winnataska sign
CAMP RUSHTON will be the next dirt drive.

Webelo's Progress

Webelo's Parents - Please complete and return the Webelo's progress sheets that were distributed a couple of weeks ago. Indicating activities that have been completed at home or summer camp allows us to have accurate records. These activities / badges count towards additional awards or progress. Thank you.

10/17 & 10/23-24

Adult Clean-Up Day on the 17th has been cancelled.

The calendar has been updated to reflect the correct camping spot for the 23rd and 24th; Camp Winnataska in Pell City.

Thanks to Fae for the updates!
