If carpooling is the only option for your scout to be able to participate then please make sure to give your permission below for your scout to ride with others that do not reside in the same household to and from the campout.

Tent/Cabin/Lean-to: Lean-to or Tent

Currently CT Rivers Council does not allow lean-to camping. However, they are expecting changes to be coming effective November 1st. If you have concerns about lean-to camping that would involve participants that reside in different households sleeping in the same lean-to, then tenting with one person per tent unless the participants reside in the same household will still be an option. Please indicate below if you do or do not have concerns about lean-to camping if CT Rivers Council decides to allow it.

Cost: $25 (CASH ONLY)

Permission Slips & Money Due: Thursday 11/04/2021 Troop Meeting
