Friday is the earliest overnight arrival — there is no on-site camping before Friday, October 9. Check in at headquarters, find your camping area, and set up. The committee brings drinking water; bring a bottle or cup.
A quiet first night. Bring your own dinner. Catch up with Troop 1 and Pack 1 families and alumni. One community fire in a portable pit in the main camping area — no individual campsite fires.
The program day. Four outdoor-skill rotations, a turkey dinner for about 50, and a closing campfire.
Breakfast at campsites. Saturday dinner is the meal provided; breakfast is BYO. Coffee is available with the weekend meals.
Weekend kick-off, welcome, and Saturday morning flag raising (late arrivals welcome). Troop 1 and Pack 1 are asked to bring their colors if they have them. A temporary arrangement will be used if a permanent pole is not ready.
Four timed rotations (about one hour each, with a short transition): 9:30–10:30 and 10:45–11:45. Stations: primitive fire building, wilderness egg drop, trail cooking, and first-aid carries. Work clothes are fine for the daytime program. Rotation order is on the Activities page.
Bring your own lunch. Free time at campsites and around Inman Hill.
Two more timed rotations: 2:00–3:00 and 3:00–4:00. Same four stations; groups rotate so everyone visits each one. See Activities.
Saturday dinner is provided — a Thanksgiving-style turkey dinner for about 50, during this window. Daytime visitors who stay for dinner must be on the RSVP. Free time at campsites afterward.
A short coffee for adult leaders and youth leadership before the evening program.
Closing ceremony, songs, stories, short skits, and a shared community fire. Troop 1 groups are asked to prepare two appropriate skits. Dress uniform for the evening if you have one. Community fires only, in portable pits; subject to Fire Chief approval. See Event Rules.
Sunday morning only. No Sunday program.
Breakfast (bring your own), break camp, and Leave No Trace. Thank you for celebrating 100 years of Troop 1 Mendon with us. Safe travels.
