Rappelling – June 1

Posted on by

What: Rappelling at Conkles Hollow in the Hocking Hills State Park with our BSA certified Rappel Masters. Come spend the day with us hanging over a cliff on a rope– it doesn’t get any better than that! Complete 13 rappels (6 for the adults) and you earn your Rappel Knot.

Who: Scouts, Leaders, Parents (and even Grandmothers). BSA rules require a parent be present if you are under 14 years old. Parents are welcome to rappel but not required.

When: Saturday, June 1, 2013 – leave the Church at 7AM and return approximately 4PM.

Bring: Leather work gloves, long pants, boots, water bottle. You will also need to pack your own lunch. Eat breakfast before you come. Dress in layers and appropriately for the weather.

Cost: $15

Gilligan Eagle Project – May 18

Posted on by

Joe Gilligan is working on moving sand and gravel Saturday for his Eagle Project. Work starts at 10:00am at the Worthington Fire station on High Street. If you want something to do for a while, he would love the help; bring a pair of work gloves and if you have a shovel to spare, that would be great. You don’t have to give a lot of your time, every little bit helps. Thank you!

Troop Service Project – May 11

Posted on by

River Clean up — 8:45AM at the tennis court parking lot off of West Wilson Bridge Road (the downhill turnoff on the right, just before you get to the curves on the east side of the Olentangy River). Wear gloves, boots, old clothes, and bring water bottle, sack lunch, and a bright cheerful smile.  We usually go until 1PM, depending on the amount of trash along the bike path and surrounding area — it might be earlier.
