The next campout is on April 5-7 at Marengo Caves. Remember to fill out and return your campout forms. They are due on April 2nd.
Campout – Ziplines at Ark Encounter, Camping at Big Bone Lick State Park (4/14-4/16)
What: Ziplines and BuffaloWhen: April 14 – 16, 2023Where: Ark Encounter Ziplines and camping at Big Bone Lick State Park Scouts will meet at the church, in full class-A uniforms on Friday where we will drive to Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky. Tents will be set up and a camp will be established. Saturday’s main activity will be enjoying all 8 of the zip lines Ark Encounter offers. It is a 35-minute drive so we expect to be up and out of camp relatively early. We will zip and then enjoy lunch in the zip area before returning to camp. The campground has a bison herd. We will plan to hike to the herd and hopefully catch a park naturalist who can tell us a bit about the animals. Please be sure to complete the Ark Encounter’s Zip Line Waiver.
The troop consent form is due Tuesday, April 11th

Troop 209- Hoodies!
We get a Troop t-shirt every year, but I’m not sure we’ve ever got a Troop sweatshirt. Since we live in Ohio…it seems to make sense that we should get a Troop sweatshirt! The cost is $40.00 (see attached Hoodie Order Form). I want to get the order in soon, so the deadline is Tuesday, December 6…please let me know by then.
