- Chapter Camping Trip
- On Friday March 4th @ 5p.m.-Sunday March 6th @12 p.m (THIS WEEKEND). will be the first of many chapter camping trips. YOUR $20 fee covers everything, including food. We will meet at the far end of the TBS Administration parking lot. IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THAT TIME… Let me know. We’ll have other vehicles there to take you at 6 or later. DO NOT DRIVE to the site. We have very limited parking (we need to observe the owners request- thank you) Let us know what you need. The equipment will be loaded up in a troop trailer and taken to the site. Please come join us for hiking, fishing fellowship and relaxing. If you want to work on a merit badge… great. If you want to teach others a skill… great. The only structure we will have is basic meal times and perhaps a camp fire program in the pavilion on Saturday. THIS IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
- In addition to more than 300 acres of common area, Breeze Hill’s amenities include access to three lakes for fishing (the largest lake covers more than 6 acres) and a lakefront pavilion named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, who visited the site in the 1950s. (After he left the White House and retired to a Pennsylvania farm, Eisenhower bought his first Black Angus bull from the Breeze Hill farm.
- We will return to TBS on Sunday @10 a.m.
