Grover Winter Campout
Per BSA regulations, all participants must have a full medical form on file (including physician's clearance) in order to go. The plan is to leave Friday afternoon, but if weather is not cooperating, we'll leave early Saturday morning. Please note that with high elevation winter camping it has been the Troop policy to limit attendace to scouts with at least one year experience. Exceptions are made if the scout's parent attends the campout. We will not be bringing the troop trailer so more drivers and vehicles are always welcome. Also a cold weather gear inspection before the campout is required. Details below:
