About the Fall Campout

Come join us for our first campout of the Scouting year, this year we will be staying in cabins built in the 1930’s. The cabins were built during the Depression Era to house workers and have been recently refurbished so no tents are needed for this campout. The site has several picnic tables and fire pits. There are washrooms, a mess hall and dining hall. We will be staying in the Camp Lapihio Group campsites. The Pack will be providing a Spaghetti dinner on Saturday night (Thanks Den 13!!!!) and we will be looking for volunteers to assist in the cleanup.
 
This campout will be free to all members of Pack 216, as there are a limited number of beds the sign up will be limited to 1 Scout per Adult and if there is additional space we will open the sign up to family on a first come first serve basis.
