October Campout – Ouachita Trail 5 Mile Hike
October 26 @ 6:00 am - October 27 @ 4:00 pm
The troop will be heading to the Ouachita Mountains in Oklahoma for our annual overnight backpacking campout. The scouts will hike about 5 miles, set up camp on the trail, and eat freeze-dried camping meals for dinner. This is a great way for the younger scouts to get exposed to backpacking!
We will meet at 6:30am Saturday morning at City Bridge Community Church, 6400 K Avenue in Plano (just north of Spring Creek Pkwy). Please be on time so we can hit the road by 7:00. No Class A or Class B. (You may wear your synthetic Class B as a base layer). Arrive in the clothes you will hike in.
- Eat breakfast before you arrive.
- Trail lunch for Saturday lunch – We’ll eat about 30 minutes into the hike. Bring your own.
- Bring trail snacks for during the hike.
- Saturday dinner – Bring your own Backpacking meal (Mountain House, Backpacker’s Pantry, etc.)
- Sunday breakfast – no-cook, quick and easy. Bring your own.
- Bring money for snacks on way up and snacks/lunch on the way home. ($25 suggested)
We will return back to City Bridge Community Church on Sunday around 4pm.
