There is a severe weather alert for Pensacola area. Current reports of sleet and snow. Schools are closed. Projections are for a mix of rain, turning to snow. Projected snowfall is as much as 3″. Black ice projected for several days after snowfall. Black ice is the trip-killer here as it is a major safety issue.

HEY SCOUTS!!! You planned a really cool trip for February 12-15. We are camping at Ft. Pickens State Park, will visit the National Naval Aviation Museum and go to the Battleship USS Alabama!!! Don’t miss this trip… we need to know if you are going along. Fill out the form below and get on the list fast.

The troop will camp Friday night only and return to COOS late-afternoon on Saturday.

Anticipated weather on Saturday afternoon may cause the obstacle course and repelling tower to close.  This will adversely affect a number of our goals for the weekend.

A number of scouts need nights of camping for advancement.  By staying just Friday night helps this cause.   On Saturday we can still get some other requirements completed before returning to COOS.
