Pocumtuc Lodge Hosts its Winter
Fellowship Feb 26-28th
|
|
For the first time in Pocumtuc Lodge history we will be
camping in tents during the winter month of February. This event promises to
prove that Pocumtuc Lodge, Western Massachusetts Council’s Scouting Honor
Society, really knows how to camp and can survive without electricity and video
games.
As Lodge Chief I propose a
challenge to you, "Prove that you
have what it takes to be a scout of
the outdoors and join us in our
council wide campout". We have our
esteemed cooking team handling our
meals led by Lodge Executive Board
member Warren Castonguay and his
adviser Mr. Pise. We ask that you
bring $10 for food and a tent to
sleep in (along with other camp-ware
typical for winter camping). We
also ask that you register online
here by Feb 22nd to give us a head
count for food purchasing. Again, if
you would like to prove you have
what it takes or would just like to
enjoy a fun time with arrowmen from
throughout the council then this is
the event for you. Can't wait to
see who is up to the challenge. |
