Nobscot Camping Trip

Friday, July 24 -
Sunday, July 26, 2020
Nobscot Scout Reservation
Sudbury, Massachusetts

Event Description

With the July 22 cancellation of camping availability at HNE camps, we needed a new plan to replace the Treasure Valley Camping Trip, the fourth iteration of our July plans. Instead, we will camp at Nobscot Scout Reservation. We will tent camp in the Ellisland area of the camp. The day on Saturday may include hiking a section of the Bay Circuit Trail.

This trip is open to Scouts BSA members and Webelos/Arrow of Light Scouts.

COVID-19

In response to COVID-19, we will implement COVID-19 Controls on this trip.

Registration

This trip is for the participants who registered for the Treasure Valley Camping Trip. Registration is closed.

Packing

See our Personal Camping Gear page for a check list and descriptions of most of the items needed. You can pack your stuff in a backpack (the big kind), a duffle bag or a tub. Specific items to bring:

• Water bottles (2)
• Full uniform (as for just about any event) - wear this.
• Day pack
• Food - Each patrol should plan to provide 2 dinners, 2 lunches and 2 breakfasts. Participants bring your own drinks and food for snacks.
• Cloth face masks (at least 2 per person).
• Mosquito repellent

To be prepared for mosquitos and ticks, see our Insects page.

Travel

• The drive from Worcester to the Nobscot parking lot is about 34 minutes from Epworth United Methodist Church. Each Scout will need to be transported to and from Nobscot by a family member. Meet at the troop trailer in the parking lot at 6:00 PM to check in and help moving the gear to the camp site. Contact the Scoutmaster if you plan to arrive later that day.
• We will not travel anywhere in vehicles during the camping trip.
• Scouts should be picked up at the camp site at 10:00 AM on Sunday.
