Pack 110 is very excited for our first camping overnight of the scouting year at French Creek State Park! Once an industrial complex for the fledgling United States of America, today French Creek State Park is an oasis for people and wildlife. Straddling the Schuylkill Highlands, the 7,730-acre park is the largest block of contiguous forest between Washington D.C. and New York City. French Creek has more than 30 miles of trails for hiking and biking and 2 lakes for fishing and boating. It is beautiful!

We are limiting the number of spots for this trip to 15 families (~30 people total). Please only sign up registered scouts of Pack 110 and one parent/guardian per family unit. Register early so we have an accurate count of who will be there. Hope you can join us!

• Tent
• Sleeping bags and pillows
• Flashlight
• Warm clothes and your mask (dress in layers!)
• Filled reusable water bottle
• Recommended:
  • sleeping mat or air mattress
  • small personal coolers for your tent are also nice if you need a drink in the middle of the night
  • fishing pole, a ball, or a Frisbee are also good ideas

Don’t Have a Tent? – The Pack can lend you a tent and, if needed, help you set it up (Only 1 Pack tent is available – arrangements must be made in advance with Clif Beam

Food:

Please bring dinner for you and your scout to enjoy on Saturday evening. (WaWa hoagies or other similar food that travels well is perfect!) For breakfast on Sunday, something quick and easy is best (fruit – bananas, apples, oranges; muffins; or dry cereal/granola). As outlined in the Pack 110 COVID-19 Risk Reduction Plan, the pack will not be providing communal food at any pack event in order to limit sharing.
