2/19/21 Update: Cancelled due to weather and icy conditions. From Scout Coordinator: Gavin Schlichtenmyer: We have just contacted the park service in charge of the trail we chose for the shake down hike on the 20th, they said that the trail was very icy and slippery right now and recommended that we not use it. So sadly, the shake down hike tomorrow is canceled. YIS, Gavin

Posted 2/18/21:

I just wanted to update you all on the weather conditions for the backpaking shakedown hike on Saturday. Conditions will be cold and windy, the high temperature will be 26F with a wind chill into the teens. So please ensure that you are dressed properly and properly equipped for these conditions. Additionally, due to the weather today and tomorrow I'm unsure if the trail will be open, I will contact the park service tomorrow afternoon and early Saturday and will send out an update in the event that hike has to be cancelled due to the trail being closed. YIS, Gavin

First I want to thank all those who had added their energy and ideas to the planning of the Aviation Camporee, sadly we are faced with the reality that a gathering of some 500 scouts and adults in 90 days simply is not going to be possible. We are not defeated however and we will be scheduling and planning for this event next spring (2022). Stay tuned. Mr. Young

As announced by Scoutmaster David Young on Sunday November 22nd:

Good evening, hope everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving in whatever form it may take for your families this year.

See you then.
Mr. Young
