Pack 481 Spring Campout 2009
Chief Logan Reservation
Saturday May 16th
Our spring campout will be at Chief Logan Reservation near Chillicothe, OH at the Yuma campsite. All scouts, their families and siblings are invited. We have reserved a campsite that has a latrine on-site. There is also a ladies restroom and shower available.
Plan on fishing, hiking, bird watching, nature observation and tons of fun!
Dinner on Saturday will be foil packet dinners consisting of groung beef, potatoes, carrots, onions and peppers. You choose what you want and build your own. Breakfast on Sunday wil be omlets in a bag! Eggs, peppers, onions and cheese will be provided. You choose your ingredients and make your own baggie. These were a huge hit at our Fall campout.
Cost for this event is $5 per person.
Medical Forms:
We don't have medical forms for the following scouts:
Sean Bowers
Lucas Willford
Nathan Zumsteg
Please use the following link. You can print the form to fill it out. Please have them to me before the weekend. You only have to fill out parts A and C on the form as well as the insurance card info, if you choose to provide it. We are not worried about getting insurance information since some insurance cards have a tendency to have private information such as SSNs.

LEAVE NO TRACE GUIDELINES
(please review with your scout before camping)
As more people use parks and recreation facilities, LEAVE NO TRACE guidelines become even more important for outdoor visitors.
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a backyard or local park (frountcountry) as much as it does in the wilderness (back country)
We should practice Leave No Trace in our attitude and actions - wherever we go. Understanding mature strengthens our respect toward the environment. One person with thoughtless behavior or one shortcut on a trail can spoil the outdoor experience for others.
SIX LEAVE NO TRACE GUIDELINES FOR CUB SCOUTS
PLAN AHEAD
Watch for hazards and follow all the rules of the park or outdoor facility. Remember proper clothing, sunscreen, hats first aid kits, and plenty of drinking water. Use the buddy system. Make sure you carry your family's name, phone number, and address.
STICK TO TRAILS
Stay on marked trails whenever possible. Shortcutting trails causes the soil to wear way tor to be packed, which eventually kills tress and other vegetation. Trampled wildflowers and vegetation take years to recover. Stick to trails!
MANAGE YOUR PET
Managing your pet will keep people, dogs, livestock, and wildlife from feeling threatened. Make sure your pet is on a leash or controlled at all times. So not let your pet approach or chase wildlife. When animals are chased or disturbed, they change eating patterns and use more energy that may result in poor health or death.
Take care your your pets waste. Take a small shovel or scoop and a pick up bag to pick up your pets waste - wherever it's left. Place the bags in ta trash can for disposal.
LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND
When visiting any outdoor area, try to leave it the same as you find it. The less impact we each make, the longer we will enjoy what we have. Even picking Flowers denies others the opportunity to see them and reduces seeds, which mean fewer plants next year.
Use established restrooms. Graffiti and vandalism have no place anywhere, and they spoil the experience for others. Leave your mark by doing an approved conservation project.
RESPECT OTHER VISITORS
Expect to meet other visitors. Be courteous and make room for others. Control your speed when biking or running. Pass with care and let others know before you pass. Avoid disturbing others by making noise or playing loud music.
Respect "No Trespassing" signs. If property boundaries are unclear, do not enter the area.
TRASH YOUR TRASH
Make sure all trash is put in a bag or trash receptacle. Trash is unsightly and ruins everyones outdoor experience. Your trash can kill wildlife. Even materials, such as orange peels, apple cores and food scraps, take years to break down and may attract unwanted pests that could become a problem.
