ELECTRONICS REMINDER 📱🕹️
One of the great benefits of heading out on any of our trips is that we’re able to unplug from our digital world for a few days. Electronics are allowed while traveling to our destinations, but we have a longstanding rule that Scouts are not allowed to use electronics while on our trips (i.e. if brought they’ll be left in vehicles and not used during the trip).
ITINERARY
We’ll head down to Grimes Canoe Base in Linden, TN along the Buffalo River on Friday where we’ll spend the night in one of their base sites. Saturday morning they’ll drop us off on the river for a 25-mile trip over 2 days. We will eat lunch along the river, and spend the night at a campsite on the river. Sunday morning we will finish our trip and return to Grimes Canoe Base.
Parent/Guardian(s), we will email you when we leave the base with an expected arrival time back at Christ Community Church.
