Nov 20, 2010 Nov 20-21, Backpack/Hike to Camp Butler

This will be a 5 mile hike or backpacking trip. Scouts have the option to Backpack their gear to the camp site to complete the Camping Merit Badge requirement. Those opting to Hike, can have their gear hauled in the Troop Trailer. 

The hike will be a little over 5 miles from the parking lot to the camp site in Butler/Manatoc. Taking the Buckeye Trail From Boston Store to Pine Lane Trailhead (4 miles, about 4 hours with some uphill trails) Then across Rt 303 to Camp Butler and to the camp site (a little over a mile on gravel road). We will need adults for the fast-pace and slow-paced groups. 

Bring your uniform shirt to wear for travel and dinner. Mess kit with cup and utensils, sleeping bag, and a tent for every 2-3 scouts. Bring a Compass and knife. Bring food and drink for the trail. Dinner and Breakfast food will be provided. Maps provided. 

We will meet at the St. Basil parking lot on Saturday, Nov.20th, at 9:30 am to load gear into the trailer. We will return to St. Basils by 9:30 am on Sunday. We will need a few parents to help drive the scouts to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park "Boston Store" Visitor Center at Riverview Rd and Boston Mills Road - across the street from and a little south of the Boston Mills Ski area. 

Scouts should have sturdy boots or hiking shoes, backpack or daypack (like a school backpack), lunch for eating on the trail, rain gear, personal first aid kit, and water. Two quarts of water recommended (4 lbs). 

Weather forecast is for mostly clear skies, high of 44, low of 38. Full Moon. 

Those backpacking can leave extra cold weather gear or camp chairs in the trailer. 

The fee for the weekend will be $15. Payable by cash, check (Troop 652), or by scout camping accounts.
