Activity:	75-mile canoe trip!!

Dates:	July 28 – Aug. 4, 2012

Departure:	8:00 a.m. (?) Saturday, CVBC

Est. return:	6-9 p.m. (?) Saturday, CVBC

COST:	$100.00 (22 meals, etc.)

Emergency contact: Tom Arneberg's cell: 715-404-0582

Details: We're trying something new here – a week-long canoe trip on flowing water! We'll start in Trego, Wisconsin, and paddle the Namekagon River until it hits the St. Croix River. From there, we can go down to Grantsburg for a 75-mile trip, or maybe even all the way to Taylor's Falls if all is going well, to qualify for the 100-miler patch. The town of Danbury is about 30 miles from Trego, and we can restock our food supply there. Note that costs will be very minimal for this trip – we should be able to buy all the food for about $80. However, we're charging $100 to cover any unforeseen expenses – possible camping fees or permits, possibly renting a canoe or two, etc. If we have money left over at the end of the week, we can return it back to Scout Accounts (or maybe spend some of it in a celebratory meal on the way home). Please LET ME KNOW if you have access to canoes, paddles, or life jackets. Anything we can borrow instead of rent will save big bucks for a week-long trip.

Retain the above information and return the form below with any money by Monday, July 16, 2012. NOTE THE EARLY DEADLINE – we need more time to prepare for a bigger trip. P.S. – particpants must have a medical form signed by a doctor, must pass the BSA Swimmer test, must earn the Canoeing Merit Badge, and must meet the height/weight guidelines.
