Event Description: Snow Base is a great opportunity to learn about winter camping from experts.
There are 2 programs that Troop 163 will participate in at this event but we need to have enough scouts/adult leaders to do both.
Snow Huskies = 6th grade and older scouts
This introductory weekend program teaches participants how to stay warm while having fun in the great outdoors during the winter. Sleep inside, but spend the day outdoors developing winter skills, teambuilding, cross country skiing and playing games like broomball and initiative games.
Spearhead = 7th grade and older scouts sleep indoors the first night and spend Saturday morning through Sunday morning outdoors applying their winter knowledge and training. Over the course of this weekend program learn how to stay warm and cozy (or just survive) while sleeping outdoors in winter. Travel to a remote campsite to build your snow shelter, cook outdoors, and participate in winter activities before crawling into a 40 below rated mummy bag for bed.
Scouts will be taught Introduction to Winter Camping by experienced scouts and then get to practice their skills.
