Event Description:

The main activity on our October tent camping trip to French Creek State Park will be an orienteering competition. Patrols will be given a topographical map with locations of targets marked on it. Each target has a different pattern punch hanging from it. The patrol that uses map and compass to race to the targets and punch the right patterns in the shortest time wins. The trip will be from October 9 to 11.

First year Scouts will work on Tenderfoot requirements, and we’ll all enjoy the park’s attractions including the lake, frisbee golf course, and hiking trails.
