August 8-10 Dick Tracy Rock Trip consists of backpack-style tent camping on an island (sometimes) in Cherokee Lake, about 3 miles from Camp Davy Crockett. All gear, except for patrol water jugs, needs to be in backpacks (no coolers). Meals will be prepared by ad hoc food groups from their pre-planned menus. Will use cooking fires and/or backpacking stoves (no propane stoves), thus suitable for Cooking MB. Activities include water skiing, extra canoeing, swimming with life jackets and shoes, gravity-assisted descending from “Dick Tracy Rock,” arrowhead hunting, fishing, etc.
NOTE: it is important for efficient planning that registration for Dick Tracy Rock be completed ASAP. We also need adults that can camp and/or drive scouts to and from the event.

Attention, Patrol Scribes! Troop Meeting Attendance sheets should be updated when a scout joins your patrol. The master copies are then in the top filing cabinet drawer. Please only make up to five copies (one month’s) to avoid having to write in the scout’s name repeatedly. It is important to have accurate records to support various uses of the information.
