We will be camping at the Bandstand in Legacy Park Saturday July 31. The pack will provide smores and you are to provide dinner and breakfast for you and your scout(s). We highly encourage each den to get together and plan your meals. Hobo meals or silver turtles would be an awesome meal for dinner. Here's the link to learn how to make them. http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/recipe/recipe-193.as What are water bottle rockets you may ask? Well let me tell you. You take a couple of two liter bottles, tape on some fins on one and use the other as a nose cone and then launch it with some water and air pressure. We even have a double launcher so you can race your friends. You are definitely gonna get wet with this event! Check out some of the following pics to give you an idea of how it all works. http://www.pack002.com/photos.php?T=117 If you don't plan on camping, please plan on attending the events.
