Troop 2000 Camp @ Home May 22-24

May 22-24
May Camp@Home

Calling all Scouts from T2000 for another organized Camp@Home event! This event will feature a film screening for Endangered Species Day on May 22, a missing persons (persons = lego guys) exercise to do on a social distanced hike, potential for a group gaming event, and the ability for merit badge and/or rank requirement work.

We’re organizing a virtual campout in our own backyards on May 22-24*! We’re asking each Scout family to join in the fun….
Here are the considerations: 

  • Pitch a tent in the yard / hang up a hammock outside / build a den (blanket fort) in your home, if no yard is available....whatever you can do - build some sort of shelter
  • Sleep in your shelter of choice overnight (note, to count as a night of camping for rank MB - outdoor camping will be required)
  • Take part in any or all “Scouting activity”
  • Help with cooking a meal (ideally outside) - if cooking for family, right now this can count toward rank or Camping merit badge or Cooking merit badge. Check requirements first and talk to an adult leader
MOST IMPORTANTLY….. Share photo/video to T2K Facebook page of your experience so others in the Troop can see the coordinated event!

Deadline to sign-up: May 16 (full schedule will be emailed out to participants once sign-up closes)

* In case of weather impacting date, we’ll select another date
