November 2018 – COLD WEATHER CAMPING
November featured one of Neuse River’s Commissioners and local Author, Chris Cancilla. Cold weather camping is the best! No bugs and no bees, a peaceful camping experience. But what about YOU staying warm, how can you ensure you do not turn into a Scout-cicle! November was filled with tips for sleeping in cold weather, cooking in cold weather, and generally living in cold weather for a couple days. You can download a copy of his handout if you missed this great break-out session.
April 2019 – HAMMOCK CAMPING
Frank Slifer (ASM, Troop 365) hosted a virtual Roundtable session on hammock camping that was both informative and entertaining. We’ve captured the essentials of this training into a 45-minute video, available below:
