7th Annual Family and Alumni Camp at Hickory Run State Park

The 15,990-acre Hickory Run State Park, Carbon County, lies in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains. This large park has over 40 miles of hiking trails, three state park natural areas and miles of trout streams. Boulder Field, a striking boulder-strewn area, is a National Natural Landmark.

When:Sept. 20th - 22nd

Camp: This year we will be in Camp Daddy Allen

We welcome all scouts, alumni, their families and friends to attend this event.

We will be camping in primitive cabins that have bed platforms (no electricity/heat in the cabins).

Families will need to bring sleeping bags or pillows and blankets and personal items.

Bath houses are on site with showers and most meals will be served in the dining hall.

The troop will be providing all the food which includes Friday evening Cracker Barrel, Sat. & Sun. breakfast and Sat. lunch and dinner.

On Sat. evening we will hold the fall Court of Honor where the scouts will receive advancements. The scouts are working on several fun activities for this weekend. Uniforms are required for Sat. evening.

We will break camp somewhere between 9:30 - 11:00 am on Sunday morning and families should plan to have their gear out of the cabins by 8:30 and assist with cleaning up the camp and loading up the troop gear. 

For the whole weekend, or for Saturday and Sunday, the cost is $25.00 per person. If you come only for Saturday dinner, the cost is $10.00.  5 and under are free.

Sign up for full weekend ($25)

Fundraising Clothing Drive

Troop 67 is sponsoring their 2nd annaul clothing drive fundraising event with a target pick up date of Mid-October (exact date still to be finalized). In order to collect the optimum 300+ bags (black 30 gallon garbage bags), we are asking each family to try and collect at least 15 bags. If we don't have 300 bags, we will have to share the truck with another funding raising organization and pick up will be on their schedule.  

We are asking families to please start collecting now and ask extended family, friends and neighbors!   We understand that some families may not be able to collect 15 bags but we are hoping that some may also have more than 15.  In mid-September we would like to get a preliminary count from everyone on how many bags they expect to collect so we can determine the likelihood of reaching the 300 bag goal.

Items that can be donated other than clothes:

• Shoes (should be in separate bag)
• Handbags
• Backpacks
• Blankets
• Towels
• Table cloths
• Stuffed animals
• Hard toys that fit in 24' x 24' x 21' size box
• and much more

For full info see attached flyer or go to the fashion republic website www.fashionrepublicinc.com.

Small boxes for toys are available if needed. If requested, we can bring them to a troop meeting.

Also, if you are having a problem storing the bags until the pick-up, please let us know and we will make arrangement to store at alternate location.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to de-clutter your home of unwanted items and also raise a significant amount of money for the troop. With a full truck we could raise at least $800. We are looking forward to full participation in this effort.
