December Outing – Cooking Competition / Camping Trip

cookingpicWhen: December 11-12, 2015
Where: Great Falls, VA
Time: Arrive at the St. Francis at 6:30 pm on Friday, December 11 after dinner or bring a bag dinner.
Departure is on Saturday, December 12, at conclusion of the Cooking Competition cleanup and all Patrol gear is put away. Parents are invited to join the scouts to taste their cooking competition meals at 5:00 pm on Saturday, Dec12.
Scouts will enjoy car camping at St. Francis Church grounds in Great Falls. Troop 55 will use this opportunity to work on pioneering skills, as well as scout skill development. Webelos are invited to join us during the day Saturday. Then as part of this outing, scouts will prepare for, and participate in the annual troop-wide cooking competition. The scouts of Troop 55 are cooking aficionados, and the cooking competition is a favorite activity among the troop, ranging from deep-fried, Italian, Asian, Mexican, and a variety of other culinary themes.
We will use our trailer with all troop and patrol equipment, and as always, meals are planned and prepared by patrols. Patrols are responsible for Saturday breakfast, lunch and the Competition Dinner.
Scouts must be prepared for cold weather, and should remember the potential need for layered, synthetic clothing when they pack. Rain gear and a warm sleeping bag is a must, as well as a change into warm dry clothes (no cotton) for sleeping, extra layers (no cotton) to add on, and extra pairs of dry socks. It will be cold in the evening.
There is a $25 fee that covers meals for each scout and each Patrol’s Cooking Competition menu. Registration and payment are due Monday, December 7th. After this date a late registration fee of $35 will be in effect.
