This weekend troop 17 is headed to the Uwharrie National Forest for a
backpacking trip and we will hike starting at "Jumping off Rock" on
Friday night to dark mountain.

Saturday, we will hike four (5) miles to Spencer's Creek camp then hike
another two (2) miles on Sunday and come home. . This is a simple
backpacking trip.

I have attached directions for the drivers.

What to pack:

1.      The boys need to pack themselves NOT the parents - parents it is
OK to check behind your scouts.
2.      The boys need to bring their own food & 3 liters of water for
Friday night, we will be hiking into a dry camp
3.      Visit www.ScoutTroop17.org - "Backpacking 101" and "Camping
Packing List" links under the Camping tab for suggested items and food
to pack
4.      At a maximum, the boy's packs should only be 25% of their weight
with food,  filled-up water bottles and tents.
5.      We will help the boys split-up tent components, so they will
only carry 1/2 a tent each - about 3 lbs
6.      Wear broken-in boots and use layers for clothing
7.      No Electronics
8.      Sub sandwich for Friday night
9.      Money for Wendy's lunch on Sunday
