Fwd: Northern tier training day March 29
Northern Tier parents and participants,
We are home stretch for Northern Tier and we have a lot of stuff to do. We have a Training day scheduled for Saturday, March 29 at Camp Yocona from 1pm to 5pm. We will having a “heavy hike” to simulate portages we will take while on our trip. We will also practice our “wet foot” Canoe entry and exits that we will be required to do at Northern Tier. We will also work on our canoe lifting and carrying. It is imperative that all participants do their best to make Northern Tier events from now until our trip. Please have all participants come dressed appropriately to Hike and possibly get wet. Please wear the Northern Tier approved Hiking boots if you have them. If you have not purchased them yet, please do so, so they can be broken in before our trip. Make sure to bring a second pair of shoes and socks as the first may get wet. All Scouts need to have a complete physical for every scout as soon as possible. Please schedule this with your Physician as soon as possible as we will need to upload these to Northern Tier soon. Please remember that we have a shakedown Canoe trip on the weekend of May 16-18. This will be a full dry run for our trip. All gear needs to be in hand for this trip. We also have 2 fundraising opportunities remaining this year. We have Parking for Double Decker, April 26th and Graduation, May 10. Please plan to make 1 of these events. More info on a future email. I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. Thank you, Jamie
