Troop 501 Spring Break Campout 2012
We have finalized our itinerary and fees for our Spring Break Campout. The boys requested to go whitewater rafting with a guarantee of whitewater, so we are heading to Arizona! We are adding in a stop to hike the ancient Indian cliff dwellings in Arizona as well. Due to BSA regulations about driving on long trips we will need to meet earlier than normal on Friday. I'm really excited as this is going to be a great trip!
