How about all that cooking that needs to be done in the great outdoors?
Well this trip is for you!
We will be traveling a very short distance to Camp Glen Gray in Mahwah and utiliz the Gillwell campsite (not the cabin). Most of you have been to this campground and it has a easy layout and offers us places to cook, play, hike and work on various scout skills. The site will have firm ground for your tent, platforms and Lean-tos.
Timing: Primany camping evening will be Saturday, March 30th, we will meet and set up camp for lunch and dinner, finishing with breakfast on Sunday morning and a brief hike for those interested. Being close allows all to be ready for the Eagle Court of Honor in the afternoon. If there is a lot of interest, we will open up Friday night, the 29th into Saturday. Adults and siblings (accompanied by a parent, are welcome).
