HOCKING HILLS STATE PARK CAMPOUT, OCTOBER 5-7

Hocking Hills was on the calendar for last Spring, however, we could not get a reservation. Luckily we got a reservation for the first weekend in October. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Ohio. Scouts who need to finish Camping Merit Badge and those who need to work on Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class requirements are encouraged to attend this campout. Saturday we will hike about 5 miles on the trail and perform a service project for the park. It is about 175 miles each way, so we need to leave at 6:00 Friday evening. Please arrive at Faith Lutheran on time and eat a good dinner before you arrive. Bring your permission slip. I need to know by Thursday night if you are coming on this campout!
