[Troop351] Time to go camping

[Josh Cooley]

We're camping and attending races at Talladega this weekend. Please be
prepared for sun or rain. There's a good set of notes, including important
items to pack, from an earlier email.

Meet at the scout shed at 5pm. Be sure to eat dinner before you leave or
bring a sack meal.
We will return around dinner time Sunday. Watch for updates on band.

Please review the roster and let me know if you're not able to attend.
We've purchased tickets for each attendee and can make those available to
someone else. Grubmaster, our numbers are final. You can buy for the number
of scouts in your patrol.
