Spring Camp Out

Our free spring camp out is coming up May 11, 2019.  Stay overnight or just for the day...

This is a free family camp out at Nobscot Scout Reservation in Framingham.  We are camping in a very large cabin with bunks that have mattresses and a little heat! Or feel free to bring at tent if you would rather brave the outdoors.

We need to get an estimated count of who is coming so we can buy supplies.  Please sign up below if you are planning on coming for Saturday and/or Sunday.

Please be prepared for the conditions by wearing proper footwear (boots are advised) and packing extra clothes in your vehicle in case there is a slip and fall in the mud (it happens every year!).  Also- we cannot stress enough to pack what you can carry as the trails will be difficult to traverse with a camp wagon. Although there are carts to use at the camp, the trails to Legion Cabin are rocky and a little steep.

If you have any questions, please email Eric Hobin.
See you there!
