A message will be taken and delivered to the individual concerned as quickly as possible. Do not expect to talk to the person immediately. WHY Why join the Troop on the trip to Sabattis? Because it is fun! Sure, scouts get to experience the sights and sounds of the great outdoors (and maybe later in the week, the smells of the not-so-great tent indoors) as they bond with their fellow scouts; as they work on merit badges to help advance in their ranks; and as they learn leadership and teamwork each and every day when starting campfires for hot water, cook their meals over propane stoves, and clean up afterward with KP; but what the scouts remember most is the fun they had, and the stories they will remember for a lifetime. How much fun are we talking about? Check out the Sabattis web site for a TON more information about GREAT adventure opportunities including COPE, shooting sports, archery, mountain biking, and much more. HOW There are several forms needing completion in order to participate in camping at Sabattis.
Have questions, or need more information? Please contact any of our Troop leaders, and we’ll be happy to get you the answers you need. We will hold a pre-Sabattis shakedown meeting sometime in the weeks before July 20th, to go over any details, collect forms, and help make sure the scouts are prepared for the week. We will publish the pre-Sabattis meeting information once the date/time are finalized. |
