Clermont Pack 20

We have reserved five campsites at Jetty Park for April 15, 16, and 17th. Each campsite has power and water. Each site can hold two tents or up to 6 people. The cost is $42 per night or $52 if you share with another family. The catch is it is a minimum two night reservation and you will need to call by 4pm Wednesday, March 9th or the sites get released to the general public.

All sites are under Kevin Carey’s name. You will need to call and give a credit card number to hold the reservation. Their number is 1-321-783-7111. Jetty Park has other sites available but the five we have reserved are the only group of sites they have left.

This year’s Blue and Gold Event will be March 5^th  at 5:30 PM in the Social Hall and John Bosco Hall.  Please plan on attending as it will be a good time and it is the last time our Scorpion Den will be with us.  It is time for them to move on to the Troop.  Come by and wish our Scorpion Den well as they join the ranks of the Boy Scouts.
