Spend Saturday May 7th exploring Brandywine Creek State Park with Pack 231
Campfire! Family Camping! Siblings welcome! Close to home!
You are not required to camp over - come for the day and have fun!
Schedule attached - lot of available time to enjoy the outdoors.
Brandywine Creek State Park is a great setting for a Cub Scout day of fun, and a very approachable overnight adventure close to home. The campsite access road is mostly paved, and parking will only be a short walk to the campsite. We have our own oasis nestled in the hillside, the perfect blend of ease of access with a remote wooded feel. Portable toilets are on-site and only for use by our group. There is ample room to set up tents in a large field, allowing each family plenty of space to maintain social distancing guidelines while enjoying time with the Pack. Adventure abounds with a number of hiking trails that lead to other parts of the park, and each Den will have a lot of time to explore. We will end the day with a campfire.
Each camper must bring his/her own drinking water. Recommended 2 gallons of water per person per day. Parking will be close enough that you could leave reserves in your vehicle. The Pack will provide utility water for hand-washing and fire safety.
Saturday lunch will be BYO - brown bag lunch for camp setup
Saturday dinner will be pizza, and Sunday we will have cold breakfast options available.
We hope to return to more traditional Pack cooking in the fall - with social distancing guidelines our aim is to keep the menu simple and minimize the amount of preparation and additional precautions inherent with group meals.
YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING REQUIRED FOR ALL ADULTS - INSTRUCTIONS ATTACHED
Chester County Council is hosting a Cub Camping Event on May 3-4. You can come for the day or bring your tent and stay overnight. All 3 Ranges are planned to be open for range and target sports (BBs, Archery, Slingshot). There will be scout skills such as cooking, fire building, first aid, and knots. They are also offering fishing so that you can complete that adventure. Use their equipment or bring your own. They have staff committed so that they can try to open the bouldering wall.
They will feed us lunch and dinner on Saturday and a light breakfast on Sunday. If you camp with us Friday night (May 2) we will prepare breakfast as a Pack on Saturday..
We will register as a Pack so please signup by 4/23 using our Signup Genius. $30/scout $25/adult
