A couple of months ago we surveyed the troop regarding High Adventure preference and a Whitewater rafting trek received the highest number of votes. You are receiving this email as your scout ranked Whitewater in their top 3 choices.

As you may have seen on Feedblitz the troop has secured a reservation for a week-long trek in the Smokey Mountains – July 27 to August 2. The trek is run through the BSA Daniel Boone Scout Reservation for a very reasonable price of $475. (This camp filled up immediately when it opened registration in October. We were lucky to get a spot.) The price includes 5 days of guided rafting on Class II-V rapids, camping gear, and food. Transportation will be additional but we are trying to find cost effective options. At this point we are estimating $700 to $900 Total for the cost per person.

In order to make this happen we need 10 scouts and 2 leaders to commit to the trek no later than January 5 as the first installment payment is due by January 15.

At this point we have 2 scouts and 1 leader committed to the trek. We have the possibility of taking a smaller crew of 6-7 scouts but we need commitment before we can even investigate this option.
