- You can print the flyer from our web site (or attached) and pass it out to your neighbors and friends.
- You can e-mail your neighbors and friends asking them to visit www.bsatroop160.org and print their own flyer. This is a great option if you have a neighborhood e-newsletter.

Troop 160 Campout – Naval Station Norfolk – January 20 -22
2012 Jan 20, Norfolk Naval Base Battleships
Ahoy Scouts!! The January campout will be January 20-22 at the
Norfolk Naval Station! During our visit, we will tour a destroyer,
submarine and aircraft carrier. In our free time, we will go bowling
or to the movies. At night, we will stay in the barracks of the local
Sea Cadet unit. Because we will stay in warm comfy barracks, we will not be cooking. Meals will be at on-base dining facilities or local fast food so just bring bedding, toiletries and money for food/souvenirs. Also, because the Sea Cadets are co-ed, Moms and female Crew members are especially welcome.
DEPARTURE: Meet at Franklin Middle School, Friday 1/20/12 @ 5:00 pm.
RETURN: Scouts will be dropped off at home on Sunday 1/21/12 @ 2:00 pm.
FEE: Free!

Class B T-Shirt Orders
Under “Docs & Forms” of this website is the 2011 Class B T-Shirt order form. The prices have changed this year and we are adding wick away polyester. All sizes are adult. I’ll be at every meeting in April with samples if people are unsure of the size they need. Orders due in by 27 April for a May delivery. Boys going to summer camp should consider purchasing a few to wear while they are attending camp. Thank you. Jeff Fuhrman.
