Nobscot Backpacking Overnight
Troop 1 is going to practice our backpacking skills at Camp Nobscot. We will carry everything we need in our backpack, in essence living off our packs. The goal for this trip is to complete a 5-mile hike (at a minimum) in a large loop while exploring the natural features of the reservation (ideally enjoying a view from Tippling Rock or the Ridge). The hike will start shortly after we arrive at Nobscot, with a pause for lunch. We will arrive at the Owl Trail Adirondack (lean to) mid-afternoon, set-up camp and prepare for dinner and a campfire. In the morning we will prepare breakfast, set down the camp and make our way to the parking area.
Troop 1 and 823 getting some press!

Amazon Smile is an easy way to support Mayflower Council
Using Amazon Smile is a painless way of supporting the Mayflower Council. Instead of going to amazon.com, you go to smile.amazon.com to make your purchase. The directions for setting it up are easy to follow. We have recently seen reports that Mayflower Council has received over $1000 from this program. With more folks using Smile we help support the council even more.
