Get back to having fun outdoors at Alpine Scout Camp.

Rank Advancement
On your first camping trip, there are some requirements you can start to work on for Tenderfoot. Here are some of them:
1a. Present yourself to your leader, prepared for an overnight camping trip. Show the personal and camping gear you will use. Show the right way to pack and carry it.
1b. Spend at least one night on a patrol or troop campout. Sleep in a tent you helped pitch.
1c. Tell how you practiced the Outdoor Code on a campout or outing.
2a. On the campout, assist in preparing one of the meals. Tell why it is important for each patrol member to share in meal preparation and cleanup.
For 1c., I would recommend brushing up on the Outdoor Code, so you can find ways to practice it while on the camping trip. For 1a. review the 10 essentials as well as any other items you may want to bring with you.
THE PALISADES HISTORIC TRAILS
We will continue to do some parts of this 12.5-mile trail.
Historian's notes
We had our first camping trip this year.
On Friday. After shopping for food and packing bags close to OLA, the troop & personal gear and equipment were set up in a cabin.
On Saturday, a scout made crepes and the entire patrol contributed to the cause. Afterward, there was a 5-mile hike near the Palisades, followed by a visit to a history museum pertaining to the Revolutionary War. Lunch was Philly steak pitas prepped by the scout once again. Dinner was an egg blend mix with vegetables on a Dutch oven fire. Shortly after Kitchen Police, it was lights out.
On Sunday, there was a 6 a.m. egg blend breakfast made by the same scout. Next, bags were packed and a police inspection was made regarding the cabin before we headed back.
