Horses, Bonfires, & Hayrides!

 

In May, Troop 24 will be camping at the Millbrook Horse Ranch, where Scouts will have the opportunity to earn their Horsemanship merit badge!

 

This is a great campout for SOOOOOO many reasons!

• We get to set up camp ON the ranch!
• Millbrook has a HUGE fire area so we can make awesome bonfires. Is anyone getting hungry for S’Mores???
• Saturday Scouts will work on the elusive Horsemanship merit badge. This is one of the more challenging merit badges to get, so here’s your chance!
• Saturday evening hayride.
• The ranch is only an hour south of Riverside so travel times will be short!

 

When:        May 10th – May 12th

*Scouts will meet at RPC at 4:15pm for a 4:30pm departure.

*Scouts will return Sunday, early afternoon.

-We will text/email with ETA. Scouts may also call when they get close to Riverside

 

Price:        $140.00

*This includes the merit badge class, trail rides, hay ride, bonfires, food, and travel.
