Silver Falls Autumn Campout
The dates will not change but the menu and order of events may be adjusted when we plan the event details.

Our Fall campout will be at the "New Ranch" at Silver Falls state park (just outside of Salem).  As you know, Silver Falls is famous for it's numerous waterfalls but did you know that they have a ranch house that sleeps 70?    The first floor of the ranch has a full kitchen, open fireplace, and picnic tables.  The upstairs has 24 bunks that sleep 3 people per bunk (two on the bottom and one on the top).  The ranch has an open floorplan so the first floor opens up to the ceiling.   The check in for the Pack will be at 10am on Saturday and we have to check out by noon on Sunday. 

Parents must attend with their scout unless prior arrangements have been made with another adult in the pack. The Pack must also be notified of this arrangement.  Tiger Scout must be accompanied by their adult Tiger Partner.
