Meals: 
Remember to eat dinner before you arrive on Friday evening or bring something with you. There is not a provided meal on Friday. Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided by camp along with Sunday breakfast. There is no need to bring a mess kit because we'll be eating in the dining hall. However, everyone should bring a water bottle (marked with your name and P215) and adults can bring a coffee mug if you'd like to. For weekend 1 at least, here is the menu that Council has sent over. I'm not sure if it'll be the same or not for weekends 2 and 3. Feel free to bring snacks if you'd like or you can buy some from the trading post. We'll just need to ensure that all food items are kept outside of sleeping areas (typically it'll be kept in the nearby cabin). 
  • Saturday breakfast: french toast sticks, sausage, grits, milk, cereal
  • Saturday lunch: chicken fajitas, spanish rice. salsa, corn, pudding
  • Saturday dinner: ziti, steamed broccoli, garlic bread, ice cream
  • Sunday breakfast: cold grab and go
Scout Advancement/Recognition: 
So that we can award the covered adventures at the upcoming award night (on 10/20), I need to know everyone that will be attending any of the 3 weekends. If you've not registered and still would like to attend the 2nd or 3rd weekend, you can still register on the Council website at https://scoutingevent.com/425-ffc2025. Please mark your RSVP on the new RSVP doc ASAP (thanks)!
