Trail Talk – 5/23/22

NOTE FROM HANK:

I would like to explain the process we used to cancel the Camp Pioneer weekend campout. As some of you were watching the weather forecast this past weekend the weather forecasters did not paint a good picture. The storms were to be intense, with hail and thunderstorms. I checked with other scout leaders, camp director and continued to watch the weather pattern. For the safety of our scouts and leaders we concluded that canceling this event was the best option. The fee you paid for this weekend can be used for the Pentwater campout or put in your scout account. The Pentwater is $35 per person so you will have to add $10 for that event.

We are trying to schedule a makeup date this week to clean up the Klewer campsite. anyone who wants help let us know.

NO PORTAGE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE THIS YEAR.
