Upcoming Campout Information

In addition to the Troop calendar on our website and the monthly permission slips, I have put together a campout spreadsheet HERE that is attached for everyone to have for planning purposes.

On the campout page you will see:

* Campout dates & locations (Except May which is TBD)
* Estimated Costs - Some upcoming campouts have higher costs due to estimated gas cost on distant locations or activity fees (rental/lift fees, tickets, etc.)
* A Family Campout - The Committee voted the June campout as a family campout, stay tuned for additional details.

On the Cash flow page I put together expected upcoming payments for the remainder of the campouts, except May, and when they would be do, using the estimated costs on the campout page. I put this together for myself to help with cash flow planning I am doing in my household, and figured some of you may like to have this for any planning you may need to do.
