CANCELED – January 11-13th – Beaumont Cabin camping; alternative visit to Klondike offered

Good evening,

Tonight the Troop Committee discussed this coming weekend’s camping
activity. Due to the unpredictable forecast for snow and lack of adequate
adult participation, a decision was made to cancel.

As an alternative activity, Steve Kupsky, Troop Committee member and our
Unit Commissioner, has graciously offered to take any interested scouts to
Camp Warren Levis to check out the annual Klondike event being held there.
He will depart from First Christian Church parking lot at 10 AM and return
by 2 PM. Ideally, he would like another adult to accompany him he has
limited seating capacity and per BSA rules, he must transport at least 2 or
more scouts. If you are interested in participating, please contact Steve
directly at 314/265-8360 (text message) by Friday noon. Thank you.

URGENT – more Adult participation required for this weekend’s campout

Presently, 2 out of the 3 attending adults need to depart on Saturday
afternoon/evening, leaving Scoutmaster Gill as the remaining adult. This
is problematic due to 2 deep adult guidelines and return transportation for
12-13 scouts.

OPTIONS:
1) At the minimum, in order to proceed with the campout, we need 2
additional adults to commit to camping on Saturday night and transporting
scouts home on Sunday.

2) Plan to depart on Saturday afternoon together, but the Troop
(participants) would still be responsible for $80/night cabin fee (Beaumont
requires 2-night reservation).

3) Cancel the activity. Diane Gill is checking to see if there is a
cancellation cost.

I final decision on how to proceed will occur at tomorrow night’s Troop
Committee meeting, so please reply by 6:30 PM tomorrow night. Thank you.
