Long Term

Drawing for Philmont Scout Ranch 2005 will be held in May 2004. A $200 deposit is due at draw time. Troop 120 is limited to 6 applications. Approximate cost is $750 per scout.

 


Applications for National Jamboree in 2005 at Fort A.P. Hill in Washington DC are available. Dates are July 25 - August 5, 2005. Approximate cost is $1600-$1700 per scout. Applications are due ASAP with a deposit of $200. More information: http://www.scouting.org/jamboree/index.html


We are considering a trip as a troop to Rocky Mountain National Park for a future date. Anyone interested should definitely attend the December hike/campout on Katy Trail to get a very basic idea of what will be involved on a backpacking/hiking/camping trip.

 


Camp Draw is complete and Troop 120 will be camping at H. Roe Bartle during 3rd session next summer from July 4-13, 2004.
