Troop 9 Webelos Campout
September 11 2004

Troop 9 invites all Webelos Dens to visit our September 11th Campout! This would be a great opportunity to see what Boy Scouts do in an outdoor setting. Visiting a Boy Scout "outdoor activity" is one of the requirements for the Arrow of Light. You can come for the afternoon, or stay and camp with us.
 
We will be camping near Pittsboro at one of our Assistant Scoutmaster's property. Directions are at the end of this e-mail. Our Boy Scouts plan to work with your Webelos to complete the Webelos Outdoorsman Badge.
 
Planned activities:
11:00am - 12:00noon   prepare lunch & cooking (Outdoorsman requirement # 6)
12:00noon - 1:00pm    lunch
 
1:00pm - 3:00 pm       patrols will lead Outdoorsman requirements:
 
1) Knots
2) Pitch a tent and make a ground bed
7) Know and practice the rules of outdoor fire safety
 
3:00pm - 5:00pm    games/ or possibly hiking
5:00pm - 7:00 pm     prepare and eat supper
8:00pm - 10:00pm    campfire
10:00pm                    lights out
 
Please call if you have any questions. I look forward to visiting with you and your den!

Directions:
From Chapel Hill and points North.
Go South on 15-501 toward Pittsboro.
Turn Right onto Russell Chapel Road, heading West.(The first major road past the Haw River Bridge is Russell Chapel Road)
Take Russell Chapel Road (West), a little more than 1 mile.
Watch for a normal green street sign on the right, that says "Saralyn Rd" (gravel).
Follow Saralyn Rd, passing East Road until the road narrows.
Turn right onto Quartz Hill Road, a narrow winding drive.
Continue a short distance to a fork in the road, where you will follow left to the bottom of the hill.
At the first opportunity, turn right and look to the right for a pole with a rather small sign that says "146".
The road passes through undeveloped property, ending at the homestead.
The red house you see first is our rental property, ours is just beyond that.
When you get to this point, come to one of the houses for directions to the campsite. I will try to watch for you if I know what time you are coming. Also, I plan to post cardboard signs with "Troop 9" on them at each turn beginning with Saralyn.
