UPDATE: Marengo Cave Campout — January 23-25

This is for those attending the campout this weekend. This was all discussed tonight in the meeting.

Boys will need for cave:

  • 1 pair of old closed toe shoes that can get wet/muddy & another pair of shoes to wear in the shelter/car.
  • Light gloves for crawling through the cave – gardening tight gloves work great
  • Old sweatshirt
  • Long sleeve shirt
  • Cotton type pants, they will be wet/muddy. Jeans are heavy when wet.
  • Knee pads if available. There is some crawling.
  • Old Towel – there will be some limited shower opportunity
  • Garbage bag for wet/muddy clothes
  • Change of clothes for after the cave

Select older clothes for use in the cave. They will get wet and muddy, and possibly stained or ruined.

There is a field that the boys may be using to play some outdoor games. Boys should be prepared for cold/chilly weather (hat/gloves/coat). Bring board games or cards.

FYI – Mr. Fitzgerald has multiple conflicts this weekend and thus will not be attending. Mr. Zubelik will be stepping into his role for the weekend. We will also have 12 other adults in attendance including our most seasoned adult volunteers.
