Hey, Campers and Cavers! Our next outing is to Meramec State Park the
weekend of March 19. We have reserved Group Tent Site A near the Meramec
River and planned activities include exploring the park and a guided
walking tour of Meramec Cavern which is 15 minutes away.

Camping fee for Scouts or adults is $28.
The cave tour fee is $12 for Scouts and $18 for adults.

Meramec Cavern offers a Geology Merit Badge, with a minimum requirement of
15 Scouts, as a Saturday 9am-1:30pm class. The class includes an Intro to
Speleology, four related workshops, and tour. Blue cards will be provided
there.

The cost for the Merit Badge class, *if we have the required 15 sign up*,
will be an additional $10 to be collected there the day of. An
announcement will be made Monday night stating if the class is a go or not.

Please see the attached permission form for additional details. Signup
deadline is 7:15PM on Monday March 15. Submitting your permission form
early into the meeting is crucial for the important planning required for
meals, transportation, and activities.
