Details: It's that time of year again when we give up the tents and hit the cabins! We're headed once again to the amazing L.E. Phillips Scout Reservation property (just west of Haugen, about 55 miles north of Chippewa Falls). We have secured the best cabin again – Fort Rice. This place is much bigger than any of the other cabins. It has FORTY BUNKS just in the upstairs! Not to mention three bedrooms on the lower level, with a huge kitchen and a big area for eating, games, and working on skills. To top it off, there are four towers (see example above) that have additional bunks. These are not heated, but if it's warm enough outside, or if Scouts are brave enough, that is an option, too. A one-mile compass course may be on the agenda, for those who are not yet First Class. There's also great terrain for hiking. NOTE: We're returning AFTER lunch this time; the Packers play on Monday Night Football that weekend.

Retain the above information and return the form below with any money by 7:00 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, 2011. We will be buying food that night at Mega. Unlike most trips, where each patrol cooks its own meals, we will coordinate our efforts to produce a big pre-Thanksgiving feast for Saturday supper, complete with the famous Trashcan Turkey, potatoes, stuffing, corn, and pumpkin pie. (This would be a GREAT trip to bring friends to! Plenty of room, awesome food, and great Scouting adventures await!)
