Troop members are invited to come to Higginbottom Swimming Pool on Friday, October 13 at 6:30- 9p.m. The reasons are (1) to have fun, (2) To get a swim test, and (3) to do advancement. Every scout AND adult who wishes to go on the canoe trip must have a scout swim test in the previous 12 months. We are also planning to check scouts off for the Second class (5 a, b, c, d) and First class (6 a, e) rank requirements. Cost is $5 if you do not have a recreation pass.

Here is a great resource for managing the risk of lightning in both the front country and back country.

Agenda:

Friday: Drive up in the evening (3.5-4 hrs) to camp in Camden Hills State Park.

Saturday: Morning bike 4.2 miles to the Lincolnville ferry dock and take a 20 min ferry to the island. Join bike tour A (8 miles) through the mid-island villages or tour B (18 miles) to the northern tip and through the villages. Sandwiches, drinks and snacks are available at general stores along the bike routes. Camp Saturday night at the state park
