August Camp out -Canoeing/Kayaking

Greetings All,
We will be canoeing/kayaking for our August camp out. Our destination will be Morgan’s Canoe and Outdoor Adventures. Forms are due by Aug 6th. This is a firm deadline because we have to reserve the boats. Everyone is able to do canoeing. Scouts that have reached First Class rank and are strong swimmers have the option to use a kayak. The number of kayakers is dependent on the availability of boats.
