Wokanda Campout Feb. 22nd- 24th

Mark Your Calendars!

We have reserved two ridge cabins (North & East) at Camp Wokanda for Feb.
22-24 for a Winter Campout. More details to follow.

KLONDIKE DERBY UPDATE

Let's try to meet at Camp Wokanda at 8:30am Saturday morning. You can park in the lower parking lot. Look for the troop sled with the Venomous Ducks flag, and we can walk down to the flag ceremony as a group.

We're going to tailgate for lunch. John is bringing Deer Chili, and I will have hot chocolate. I will also bring a pack of hot dogs. Feel free to bring any special snacks or food that you like.

It sounds like a big group is going, so it should be a lot of fun!
