1.0 OverviewWe have been invited to camp with the Norwich Boy Scout Troop. Most of their scouts are students at the Richmond Middle School or at Hanover High School, yet we do not know who they are. This will be a good chance for the two troops to get to know each other.2.0 Concept2.1 DescriptionThis is an easy campout. With good weather expected this will by a day in the woods by a pond.We are planning on cooking in pairs on this camp out. So everyone is responsible for their own food.
