Pack 184!  Mark your calendars and plan to attend a pack camping trip!
The sites only hold 40 people, so reservations will be on a first email, first reserved basis.  Families are welcome.
I have added links to emails and websites in the blog below, click them to activate:

Please email Jon Sensenig to reserve your spot.
He needs to know the number in your party.
When:  July 27th.  Arrive at Pine Grove Furnace as early as your like, there are many things to do there, including swimming, fishing, bike riding, and hiking.

What:  Tent Camping.  Bring your own tent and gear.

Location:  primitive group camping site.  Pine Grove Furnace State Park

Site details:  Sites D and E (see map below)

There is no power and no showers at the group camp site; however, there are flush toilets and showers within a 1/4 mile walk.  The sites have old school pit toilets.  NO PETS ALLOWED

Cost:  $2 per each person.  (ex family of 4 = $8)  Checks to "Pack 184"  Given the limited space you are expected to come if you RSVP and will be expected to pay the small fee above.

Meals:  Each Den can decide how to handle meals.  Most likely will be a pot luck style where people bring their own food and share.  Plan to cook out over the fire or dens can bring camp stoves/grills.
On Saturday would need:  Lunch and dinner; Sunday Breakfast and Lunch.  If anyone has Dutch Ovens it is a great opportunity to teach the kids how to cook cobbler for desert.

Pack Activities:  A den day hike is planned.  The rest of the time is free time for dens.  Consider getting fishing or biking belt loops.  Evening campfire with skits and songs.
