Troop Camping

Troop 736 camps monthly with few exceptions. We always camp the third weekend of the month.

We typically leave on a Friday evening and return on Sunday around noon. We usually leave from the parking lot of Aldersgate United Methodist Church. All Scouts should arrive 30 minutes prior to departure time to assist in the packing of their Patrol’s gear (tents, dining flies, patrol boxes, stoves, dutch ovens, food coolers, etc.) into the Troop trailer. In addition, this allows time for last minute permission slips, health forms, etc. to be signed by parents, if necessary.

We do not usually stop for a meal on Friday evening on the drive out to camp, so Scouts should eat prior to arriving or bring a sack lunch supper to be eaten on the way.

All Scouts are expected to travel from the church to the camp together and travel from the camp back to the church together. This is to ensure that all Scouts participate in the setting up and taking down of their campsites and do their part to help with the cleaning and/or drying out of patrol equipment that is checked out to the Scouts upon return to the church.

For insurance reasons, the Class A uniform is required to be worn by all Scouts and Leaders (without exception) when traveling to and from camp.
