Following True North Spring Camporee
Our first campout of the year will be at the George Washington Campground in Rhode Island. We’ll be learning a mix of things, including some science, outdoor skills, and the importance of teamwork. Foxes are required to bunk with mom/dad. Hawks/Mountain Lions will be encouraged to bunk together (following Troop child protection policies).
