This Sunday, Feb. 21, we will be recognizing Scout Sunday at church.
Services are at 9:30 am and 11:30 am and Scouts should arrive 20
minutes before hand. You are welcome at either service, but attendance
is expected at one of them. In addition to attending the church
service, we will help with ushering duties and hospitality hour

Thank you very much. KMS

On the way down we’ll be stopping at General George Patton’s Museum of Leadership, where there will be tanks to see and much more. We’ll be tent camping at Jelly Stone Campground just 10 minutes away from Mammoth Cave. The campground features heated showers and flush toilets. Average temperatures for the area we will be staying at are high 40’s during the day, and low 30’s at night (Turkey Shoot weather!). We’ll take the large white tarp shelter and heaters like we did for Valley Forge in case the weather is colder than expected. Remember, we’ll be on the bus, or in a museum, or in Mammoth Cave for a good part of both Saturday and Sunday, all of which will be warm. So, join us and come along for the ride in a once in a lifetime event.
How Much: $67 to cover cost of campsite, admissions to Mammoth Cave, Museums, Gas and Food.

What: Hiking the beautiful trail, in stunning winter splendor, around Clifton Gorge; mid-way, we stop at Clifton Mill for a meal of your choice, might be pancakes bigger than your head or a bison burger or whatever; we finish the hike, and then finish the event with a stop at Young’s Jersey Dairy for ice cream. A solid troop tradition! Definitely dress for the weather, particularly layered clothing and including very good hiking boots.
How Much: $10.00 to cover the transportation and the patch that is bigger than your head. Bring extra money ($20 or so) for lunch and ice cream!
