[Bsa-troop85] Trapper's Rendezvous - Help Needed

[Paul Marsh]

We have a need for adult leaders for next weekend’s campout. As of last Monday, we had two adults committed, but that isn’t enough to make the Trappers campout work.
Don is unable to attend this campout, so we are in need of willing helpers.

For those new Scout parents, this is not a typical campout for the boys. 
This event has been around for years and years. It is so popular there were close to 7000 people in attendance last year. It is so cool that they even have their own Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TrappersRendezvous
There are lots of Mountain Man and pioneer exhibits, troops from all over this part of the country, and lots of trading! The boys love bringing their animal pelts, bones, knives, camping knick knacks, unused “boy” stuff from their closet, and trading up with other scouts for that treasure that awaits!

Good news: Typically the weather in Kanas in January is bitter cold, but this weekends forecast is NICE! (close to 50 degrees expected)  
More good news: It is a ton of fun and the boys list it as one of their favorites

If we leave at our normal time, it will put us at the campground at around 10:00pm. It is not easy to stake a campsite among 7000 people in the dark. So, one of the adults ought to drive up early and find a spot for us to camp. That takes one adult out of the transportation, so the other adult can’t take all of the boys.

If you can arrange to come, please do so. It is very worth it. 

We will be taking head counts on Monday night and figuring out transportation and food. Please message me if you are planning on coming.

To get a taste of what is like here is a YouTube video from the event:
