Sled Riding & Ice Fishing: 1/27/2018

On Saturday, January 27, 2018, the Webelos and AOL scouts can attend the Ice Fishing outing with Boy Scout Troop 794 for the day!  There will also may be some sledding and wind sledding.  

RSVP to scoutbook

Date: 1/27/18
Time: 7:30 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Tahosa Scout Ranch
Address: 

We will meet at Mission Hills Church at 7:30 am with the Troop, and will drive to Boulder.  In Boulder, we will meet for breakfast at the McDonalds on Baseline Road off 36.  From there, we will drive up to Tahosa for a day of ice fishing, sled riding and winter fun.  We will drive up boulder canyon from the middle of town.

We will have access to the heated dining hall where we can put on snow pants and boots as well as warm up and eat lunch.  A complementary lunch will be provided by the Troop.

This is a great opportunity to participate in an outdoors event with the Troop, and for the Arrow of Light scouts to complete their Scouting Adventure requirements.  While the Boy Scouts will be camping there that night, the Webelos scouts can only attend during the day.  We will need to return to littleton by 5:30 that day.

Scouts and leaders must travel in uniform shirts and pack their snow gear in a bag they can cary into the building.  Helmets are required for sled riding and active games on the ice.  A bike helmet will be fine but ski helmets are warmer.  You will want to bring a sled.

Unless prior arrangements are made with leadership, parent participation is required for Webelos and AOL scouts and the scouts will need to ride with their parents.  A waiver is required for each scout.  We will also need the medical forms submitted to the pack.  All Webelos scouts and adults attending will want to be prepared for very cold winter conditions for this outing.  Do not wear cotton clothing as a base layer but a wicking layer instead.  Here are some tips: Winter Camping

We also have a few BSA travel rules that we need to follow.  You may only have someone else's child in your car if they are in the back seat and your child or another parent is in the car.  Our day trips are limited to 10 hours.  ( no sleepy tired leaders driving)  We do not convoy/ caravan.  Instead we meet up at way points for food and restrooms.  Do not follow each other with you lights on. (Keep your eyes up watching traffic and drive the speed comfortable for your vehicle or trailer rig obeying all traffic laws.)  The short camp road and parking lot will probably be snow pack and is on a slope.

794 Food Drive for MHC: 11/11/2017 8:30-Noon

Event: 794 Food Drive For MHCWhere: Coffee Shop and Fireplace MHCWhen: 11/11/2017 8:30-Noon  Pack 794 Families,I hope all our scouts are able to support T794 and MHC for all they do for us. This is the only thing we do for them every year. The food collected will go to the food pantry for mission Hills church to help feed needy families. It's a great way to help Mission Hills Church. This also fulfills a Duty To God required adventure point for most ranks in that we are supporting our faith community or charter org. through service. We will be walking through neighborhoods with two or three adults in each group and a car to put the food in. All scouts should be accompanied by a parent partner. If you are not able to come with your scout, talk to your den leader to find an adult that the scout will be assigned to for the entirety of the event and leave a message here in scoutbook. If you bring another scout with you to the event make sure your scout is also with you in the car and that your guest is not riding in the front seat. Please RSVP through scoutbook so T794 will know how many to expect.Hope to see you there,
Sean
