1/13 - Winter Camp Awareness Training at the USS Hornet

1/13 - Winter Camp Awareness Training at the USS Hornet
On Saturday, January 13th, 2024, the Order of the Arrow will be conducting our annual Winter Camp Awareness training on the USS Hornet in Alameda. If your troop intends to pursue winter camping or cold weather camping, this is the training experience that will prepare your youth (and leaders) to have a fun and safe time in the snow or cold.

Scouts will be taught how to Sleep Warm, choose the proper Tent and Terrain, operate Stoves and Fuel, select Winter Foods, perform Winter First Aid, and choose proper Winter Clothing. This training is essential and will help prepare Scouts for any winter-oriented events, whether it be the upcoming Klondike Derby, your own unit-led events, or any winter events!

Winter Camp Awareness' historic venue, the USS Hornet aircraft carrier, is a fascinating preservation of the nation's history. It is a place where Scouts can go back in time and walk in the footsteps of their country's servicemen and women. After the event, you will have the opportunity to tour the USS Hornet at your own pace.

For details and to register your unit, please click: here  You may share this with other Unit Leaders if interested. If you have any questions, please email WCA@oa-yerbabuena.org.

Yours in Scouting,
Christian Egli
WCA Youth Chairman
