Hello Pack958,
Here is a reminder email about our upcoming Campout at the
USS Lexington. As I mentioned before, our Pack camps overnight on the USS
Lexington only once every two years. This year is one of those
years! The registration & payment deadline
is at this Monday’s Pack Meeting on 10/9/2017.
The Pack has reservations for a total of 55-people, and 31 have signed up so far.
This means there is room for 24 more, so sign up quick!
The Details:
- WHAT: Pack958 Campout!
- WHERE: USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier, Corpus
Christi, TX
- WHEN: Saturday, Dec 2, through Sunday, Dec
3. Arrive promptly on the pier by 12:00 noon on Saturday, as the
entire group will register & enter the ship together.
- WHO: Parents,
Scouts, Siblings, and their Friends & Family Members (so yeah, just
about anyone). Refer to paperwork/forms requirements below.
- LEXINGTON WEBSITE
- REGISTRATION &
PAYMENT DEADLINE: Midnight, 10/9. To register, simply reply to
this email with who from your family will be attending the campout.
We will also take registration & payment at the 10/9 Pack Meeting.
- COST:
$45 per person (Scout or Adult). This is $10 off of the normal $55
per person fee. The Pack has decided to subsidize $10 per person,
based on last year’s fundraising efforts. The $45 price includes the
overnight stay, unlimited self-guided tours of the ship, a movie in the 3D
MEGA Theater, two trips through the chow line (dinner/breakfast), bunking
in original crew quarters, a flag ceremony, and more. If you plan to
attend, bring a check made out to ‘Pack 958’ for $45 per person to the
10/9 Pack meeting. You can also pay using the Pack’s PayPal account
at: https://www.paypal.me/Pack958

scouts) will need UPDATED FOR 2017 Medical
A&B forms and copies of their insurance cards. All adults must
also complete Youth
Protection Training (YPT) within the past 2-years. Email signed
copies of the Medical A&B and insurance cards to Ronny Baccus, and
copies of YPT to Bruce Blazine.

Saturday and Breakfast on Sunday in the ship’s galley. All other
meals are your own responsibility.
