Troop 332

Friday, August 21 Hersheypark Boy Scout Wildwilderness Family Camping Outing – Reminder: You will need to have a tent and sleeping bag/air mattress.  See you at High Meadow Campground around 2-3 pm on Friday.  (We are leaving ER as close to 9:00am as possible)  The campground has a nice pool.  Bring a lantern.  Don’t forget, your tickets will get you into Hersheypark on Friday night for a free preview and free parking (Do not give up your tickets on Friday night, they only stamp them).  You will need to provide you own meals on Friday.  Look up www.hersheypark.com for directions.

Sunday, August 30 Troop Snapper Fishing Tournament – Bay Park, south of the Boat Ramp 1:00 pm to learn how to and to catch bait.  (Wear your bathing suit and water shoes, because you will be wading in the water.  Have a towel to dry off your legs and feet)  Tournament from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.  You will need to have a light pole, casting or bamboo, with a float and snapper hooks.  We will provide the bait for the snappers.  Bring the family, bring a drink, bring lunch, bring a chair, enjoy the day.  Reminder – New York State, in their infinite wisdom, passed a new law, requiring everyone that reaches the age of 16 to have in their possession a valid New York State “Salt Water” Fishing license.  I think it cost $ 10.00.  (I will try to find out where to purchase one, for those interested)
