1/17 Club Meeting Announcement

Pathfinders,

Please make sure you come to this Tuesday's club meeting.  We will be working on knots and getting ready for the upcoming Pinewood Derby on 1/29.

More importantly, we are inviting all parents/guardians of the Pathfinders to come this evening.  In addition to being able to help the Pathfinders with knots, there will be important discussion about the scheduling changes that will go into effect for the remainder of the Pathfinder year.

God Bless,

HBA Campout this Weekend!

All,


This weekend, 12/9-11 is the HBA Pathfinder Campout at Brazos Bend State Park.  Here are the details.


1.  Pack very warm!  Temperatures will be in the low 40's F. at night.  Warm weather sleeping bags are not enough.  If you don't have a sleeping bag rated down to 15 degrees or lower, make sure you pack layers of clothing & blankets to stay warm.  Don't forget gloves & heavy jackets.  There is likely to be a burn ban, meaning we won't be able to light a fire.  This step is most important!


2.  Please pack from the camping list.  Here is the link to the list.
Camp Packing List


3.  Make sure trip permission slips are signed by parent or legal guardian.


4.  Cost is $30.


5.  Departure is from Spring Creek church.  We will be pulling out at 4:00pm sharp on Friday 12/9.


6.  We will not be stopping for snacks/bathroom along the way.  If you like, you may pack simple snacks for the drive.  Dinner will be served at camp when we arrive.


7.  On Sunday, pickup will probably be around 2-4pm 12/11.  We will be stopping at Taco Bell on the drive home.  Please send cash for that meal.  We will start calling parents when we are about 60 minutes out.


8.  Pray that we all stay warm are safe and have fun.


See you Friday!


Mr. Matt
