January 20-21.  The Freezeree Ten scouts and scouters left Durham on Friday evening and arrived at the Tye River in Virginia around 10 PM. We were able to set up tents before the rain moved in for the evening. It rained overnight and several tents were flooded. The crew had breakfast near the bus. Since several bags were wet, we elected to drive up to a parking lot closer to the top of Priest Mountain and walk in to the shelter for lunch. The shelter was in a cloud when we arrived. We returned to the bus and then to Durham for Saturday evening. It was a fun weekend. January 17.  Registration Night Did you register for 2012 ?  Don't worry, you can re-register with the treasurer at any meeting.  Just make sure to find out what Merit Badges classes are still available.
