Troop 235 Program Update 3/15/2023

Dear Troop Families,

Grand Canyon campout - CANCELED due to weather conditions

Adult leaders planning the campout at Grand Canyon had to make the tough decision to cancel the upcoming campout due to weather conditions.
This link from National Park Services mentions hazardous conditions for hiking including snow packed and icy / slippery trails. There is forecast of heavy rainfall through Thursday leading to much lower temperatures at night and further risk on the hiking trails. This would also make the 6-7 hour drive to Grand Canyon more risky especially as the troop gets closer to the National Park.
The leaders tried to look for alternate locations but most of the popular destinations were already booked and one campsite that was available in San Diego still involved a 3 hour drive and the youth leaders did not like the set of activities offered at that camp.
We understand that many scouts (and scouters) were looking forward to an amazing experience at the Grand Canyon and will be disappointed. We will work with the PLC to plan an alternate campout / junior high adventure trip.

No Troop Meeting - Tuesday, March 21st 2023

This is just a reminder that the PLC had voted to cancel the troop meeting for Tuesday, March 21st due to the TUSD spring break schedule.
