The following Scouts and adults have signed up for this weekend's trip. If
you plan to attend but have not responded yet, please do so soon so we can
finalize seating etc. Would be nice to get another Star/Life/Eagle Scout on
the trip to deepen our experience level.

We will leave the Scout shed at Asbury no later than 5:30, drive to Moulton,
and then head south into the Bankhead Forest on AL SR 33 to Cranal Rd and
then to the parking area ~0.5 mile east of the Braziel Canyon area at the
north end of the Borden Trail (see attached picture and map) and the south
end of the Braziel Creek Trail (this canyon appears on Google maps). We will
set up camp in the canyon area Friday evening and then hike the Borden Trail
south to its end and then back to our start point (about 5-6 miles)
Saturday. To comply with Bankhead Forest rules limiting group sizes on the
trail to 10, we'll likely split the hike into two groups. We will set up
camp in the same area on Saturday night and return to the Scout shed Sunday
morning about 10 AM.

Reminder - If you haven't completed the health forms A and B (attached) in
the last year, please fill it out and have it when you arrive Friday night.

		We will return to the Sipsey Trail area of the Bankhead
Forest on May 20-22 2022 for camping and backpacking. Please use the link
above to let us know if you'll be attending or not. This is one of the best
trips we take throughout the year, so don't miss out!

		This trip's events will be like last year's. We will leave
the Scout shed at 5:30 on the 20th, set up camp that night, wake up, eat,
break camp, and head out on the trail for between 6-8 miles of backpacking.
Afterwards, we will either return to the original camp site or set up a new
one (planning still underway) Saturday night. On Sunday we will wake up,
eat, break camp, and either hike a short distance back to the cars or load
the cars (depending on where camp was set up), and return to the Scout shed
around 10:00 AM. 

		This trip will provide many opportunities to complete merit
badge and rank advancement requirements, so plan ahead and make wise use of
the time and resources. Although we will work as a team to take care of each
other, the intent is for each of you to be self sufficient by
packing/carrying your own equipment (to include tent or hammock, food, and
water) and by preparing your own meals. This is also a great opportunity for
older Scouts to help newer Scouts improve their basic skills.

		Please submit completed BSA Health Forms A and B (attached
here) before leaving on the 20th.
