July 17-19 we are going to ACE Adventure Resort in West Virginia for some whitewater rafting and water park fun.The cost for the trip is $170 for youth and $140 for adults. This is $100 discount per person due to your fundraising efforts. Don’t let that hard work go to waste. This will be a great trip you don’t want to miss. For this trip we must make full payment by June 17. So, all reservations and full payment due by our troop meeting by June 9.The cost includes a full day rafting trip on the Lower New River and a half day pass to the water park. Scouts under the age of 12 will be in an oar raft where the guide does all the paddling or on a different (calmer) section of river in inflatable kayaks (also open to those that want a little less adventure). See Mr. Lewis to discuss those details. All scouts and adults will be required to take the BSA swim check and classified as a swimmer. Scheduled troop swim check May 30.Due to the distance and the activities, we will not have much time for cooking.
