Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve

Update on our next outing:

Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve
Friday February 27 to Sunday March 1

Rustic Cabin - 17 bunks, small kitchen area, one great room, one wood stove, one out house, one great scouting weekend!

Sign up sheet will be available at the next two meetings or email Troop1.Gaylord@gmail.com to RSVP. The cabin can accommodate more than 17 scouts but the Troop would need to plan ahead.

From Indian River, take M-68 east for 5 miles and turn left

Trail, the preserve sign is visible near the gate.

This Week in Troop 1 Gaylord

This Week in Troop 1 Gaylord

Klondike Derby. We cancelled Troop 1’s participation in the derby this year. Part of our problem is competing activities and boys being sick and part of our problem is that we just didn’t get the equipment in place in time to make this a fun trip. Better time next year.

Woodcarvers are on for Tuesday night the 10th at the Masonic Lodge on South Otsego just south of Peace Lutheran Church. Those of you who carved your project must show it to the group and there will be an additional session of sharpening. If you are starting new, you can begin your session Tuesday. You do not have to come to two sessions to achieve the merit badge but if you wish to earn it I will fill out a card for you Tuesday night at 6:30.

Andrae’s Cabin (Pigeon River). This event is firm for the 27-29 February time frame. We will depart on Friday evening and return Sunday morning. Wood heat and an outhouse. Plan to attend—this has the makings of the Headlands with an outhouse.

If you are interested in National Youth Leadership Training the week after our summer camp, please contact me as soon as possible. The date has been moved up to the week of June 28th not August now.

We will apply for Seabase dates in 2010 by 15 February.
