Survivorman Changes
Posted by Prescott on May 12, 2011Welcome to High Adventure - weekends like this are why Troop 16 Scouts and Scouters are considered significantly tougher than regular Scouts.
Elbert County recieved a number of inches of snow last night - perhaps as much as 8″. Fortunately, it is expected to be clear and sunny for Fri, Sat, and Sunday. However, to account for the unusual weather (snowy and muddy), we are making the following changes to the Survivorman Challenge. Please account for them in your packing and preparations.
- All participants - Treat this campout as if it were winter. Bring good hats, gloves, and water proof hiking boots (you will be allowed to take them into the challenge)
- All Levels are encouraged to bring snow pants/shell pants and good upper body raingear.
- You may wish to bring snow boots if they fit and won’t prevent you hiking around.
- Level 2 may bring daypacks and sleeping pads into the challenge.
- Level 3 are either allowed to bring a sleeping bag or a sleeping pad.
We may change these provisions if conditions improve substantially, but you should have them for Friday night at the minimum.
