We will be taking down the tents that are hanging in the garage and re-packing them. Inventorying the patrol boxes and drying out the tarps.

We will be tent camping in the youth area and fishing will be a large part of the agenda. Scouts who need cooking requirements for rank will have an opportunity to cook for patrols, (how many depends on how many Scouts sign up for this event).

Lake Ahquabi, just 6 miles south of Indianola, is the next location for a weekend campout on October 4—6.
Ahquabi is the Sauk and Fox native word meaning "resting place", and it is a fitting name for this scenic 770 acre park. Lake Ahquabi State Park was dedicated in 1936 with many of its structures built by the men of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Great Depression. Troop 44 will be camping at the youth campground, Y-115.

Johnston Troop 44 and Pack 244 Friends of Scouting is one of the organizations that is a member of the United Way Donor Choice program and eligible for funds that are given during the United Way Campaigns run through the fall of each year. It is the money primarily raised through this avenue that is used to help offset the cost of summer camp, training programs like NYLT and equipment used by the Scouts on outings.

Our thanks to Michael and Samuel S, and mom, Heather, for all their help in providing the swim checks for 2019.
