May 16-18, we will be camping at Saint Francois State Park. There will be loads of activities for us to do, to include fishing, hiking, and maybe, just maybe (depending on weather) a little bit of wading in the Saint Francois River. You will find a topographical hiking map, here. Be sure to bring your fishing gear, swim trunks, and towel (just in case). The cost of this campout is $19 for Scouts ($15 for food, $4 for park fees) and $4 for leaders. This is one of Troop 501’s favorite camping spots.
Due to the ferocious nature of ticks, already, this year, be sure to bring sunscreen and bugspray. REMEMBER: NO AEROSOL!!! There will be a bug-spray shake-down before we pull out on Friday night. Departure time will be 6:30 pm, on Friday night.
