December 2025 Campout

The weekend of December 5-7, we will be camping at Camp Saffran at the Broad Creek Scout Reservation. We will be in the Long Range campsite, but please do not proceed to the site until we have checked in at the main building. 

The cost for the campout will be $31 per Scout. As always, please let us know if this is a financial hardship so we can make another arrangement.

Departure time is 4:00pm Friday. We will be departing from the campsite at about 10:00 Sunday morning, returning to the DC area at approximately 11:30. 

It is expected to be below freezing both Friday and Saturday night. Please be prepared! The packing list includes ideas such as: 

• Bring a Nalgene bottle to fill with hot water and put in your sleeping bag at night

• Bring extra blankets -- both to put on top of you, and one for the floor of your tent

• Be sure to bring a hat that you can wear both for sleeping and during the day

• Bring warm gloves/mittens, a warm coat, and at least one more layer than you think you need 

Additionally, if you want to increase the insulating value of your sleeping pad, you may have a yoga mat that you could bring to put under it. 

Also, please remember to bring your Field Notebook and a pencil, if you were at the recent troop meeting where these were made. There will be extras available for people who were not at the meeting.
