January 2015 Outing – Blue Ridge Center Camping

When:    January 17-18, 2015
Where:   Blue Ridge Center, Purcellville, VA 
Time:   Arrive at the St. Francis parking lot at 7:00 AM on Saturday morning January 17th – Return to St. Francis on Sunday, January 18thThe Blue Ridge Center is located on 900 acres of woodlands in an area known as “Between the Hills” (nestled between the Blue Ridge and Short Hill Mountain).  Scouts will camp at Demory Field and share views that extend over a meadow and down the Between the Hills valley toward the Potomac River.  Demory Field offers potable water, a fire pit, grills, picnic tables, and a large pavilion. Scouts will be geo-caching before lunch.  After lunch scouts will hike, work on their scout skills and participate in cold weather Wilderness Survival training and exercises.  Scouts should be prepared for cold nights as well as layered clothing during the day – Warm dry clothes (no cotton) for sleeping, extra layers (no cotton); an extra pair of dry socks (no cotton) and shoes in case they get wet. Scouts must arrive at St. Francis at 7:00am Saturday morning after having breakfast. Patrols will prepare Saturday lunch and dinner and Sunday (hot) breakfast. Dinner on Saturday will be cooked on an open fire.  Patrols will plan for this at the troop meetings prior to the outing.  Scouts should bring money for a quick lunch stop for the return trip Sunday. Scouts will call their parents as they near the church.

OUTING GEAR:  It is important that scouts pack their own gear so they know what they have with them and where to find it.  Not sure what gear to bring?  

Cost per scout: $28 for non-driver and $18 if driving.  THE TRANSPORTATION FEE IS WAIVED FOR BOTH SCOUT AND PARENT IF THE PARENT IS DRIVING.
