Troop 413’s March outing is a backpacking trip in the Uwharrie National Forest.

We will leave Christ Covenant Friday afternoon at 4:00 pm and return Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm.

 Friday night we will park at the Uwharrie Trail NC 24/27 parking lot, located approximately 9 miles east of Albemarle. Our Friday night camp site is about a half mile from the parking lot. 

Scouts will take two different trails on Saturday –

• Younger scouts and their leaders will hike about 5 miles
• Older scouts will hike about 8 miles

 The terrain is mild (no mountains).  We will meet Saturday night at a common campsite to enjoy tall tales about the day’s adventures.

 After breakfast Sunday morning, we will hike the final 2 miles to Yates Place Camp Ground (SR 1146) stopping for a worship service along the way.

DO NOT bring a large coat.  They are bulky and you cannot wear them while hiking. Bring layers such as long underwear, long sleeve T-shirt, sweat shirt, another T-shirt and a rain jacket.  You will have all the layers you need to keep warm, and if it’s too cold for 5 layers then it’s too cold and we will come home.

Equipment and Uniform—

• The uniform for travel will be the Class B, meaning the Troop 413 T-shirt
• Pack the equipment on the attached equipment list
• Pack check will be conducted at the March 18th troop meeting

 Menus—

• Menus must be prepared during the March 11th troop meeting
• Menus must be approved by the Patrol Dads on the 11^th
• Individual Patrol Leaders must follow up with the assigned Grub-Master to make sure the food is available

 

As always, we need:

• Drivers (need to know number of passengers, other than driver)
• Adult Grubmaster
• Volunteer to lead worship service

 

Please let Nick Combs or Doug Leonard know if you can do any of these.
