Personal entertainment items, such as Walkmans, Game Boys, comic’s etc., are not allowed on Scout trips. If the Scouts insist on bringing such items on a trip, and those items are lost or broken, the boy who brought them is solely responsible for the loss. No other Scout will be made to pay for his part in the loss or damage.

We typically meet at St. Paul’s at 6:00 P.M. Friday, and hope to be on the road by 6:30 P.M. We will be returning late Sunday afternoon, probably about 4:00 P.M., but as always, do not come to pick the Scouts up until they call you. Part of their responsibility is helping to unload, clean up and put away troop gear.

Please make sure the boys either eat before they get to St. Paul’s on Friday, or they bring something with them to eat on the bus; we never cook on Friday nights.
