Meeting Notes - February 25th - Snow Shoe Night!

Day: February 25th
Place: Bernard Grandmaitre Parking Lot (slightly different place)
Start: 18:30
End: 19:30 (different time)

We are going to put on snow shoes (we have about 20 pairs of snow shoes) and go for a little hike around Mountain Meadows Park and through the trees.

We will be outdoors and in snow shoes the whole time.

The forecast is cloudy and around -14°C.

That means cubs need to dress warmly:

  • jacket + snow pants
  • dress in layers: long underwear, regular layers, warm sweater
  • hat, mitts, face covering or scarf
  • boots and warm socks
  • headlight or flashlight
  • water bottle and a little snack 
  • a daypack with the water bottle, snack, mug, and extra mitts would be a good idea

You do not need:

  • indoor shoes
  • cub books
  • dues


We are leaving from the school parking lot and will return to the school parking lot.
