Pack service day signup deadline approaching

man-with-trash-bin-vector-illustration_zk1b3RPuDon’t forget to register by Friday, Sept. 18, for the pack cleanup/service day at DeShong Park.

This optional event fulfills one of the requirements for the Outdoor Ethics Action Award, but more importantly is a good opportunity to show great scouting spirit by helping beautify our Gwinnett community.

Full details and the signup can be found at https://www.bsapack564.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=1587&action=edit.

 

IMPORTANT: Saturday hiking club hike postponed

The hiking club hike planned for Saturday will need to be pushed back or possibly canceled. Turns out there’s a little thing going on at Stone Mountain Park this weekend. Maybe you’ve heard of the Yellow Daisy Festival? It won’t impact the trail, but traffic will be far too insane to ask you to willingly navigate.

I didn’t make the connection when I was planning this and didn’t until Kay Nagel kindly pointed it out to me today.

My plan has been not to reschedule hikes, but I was thinking of weather, not operator error. Given that this is the first one of this scouting year, I’d like to try to fit it in somehow. I can’t guarantee it however.

So, in summary, the only hiking going on Saturday at Stone Mountain Park will be in search of folk art, wind chimes or some festival food.

Humblest apologies for the confusion.
