The Pack 200 spring camping trip will be March 16-18 at Camp Agape in Fuquay-Varina (less than an hour from the church, near Harris Lake).
This is a very nice facility, including:
- 12 miles of hiking trails
- Fishing (river and pond)
- Basketball and volleyball courts
- Fields
There is no go-see-it planned for Saturday, but there will be lots of fun activities, including:
- Fishing
- Hiking (great to work on Map & Compass)
- Astronomy (weather permitting)
- Mini cub-o-ree
- Campfire stories and SMORES! (have a skit ready!)
Directions can be found here.
Printable flyer here.
If you’re new to the pack, this is family camping in tents; ask a leader if you have questions.
Dens or families provide their own food (except the pack provides the smores).
Arrive after 3pm on Friday, leave by Noon on Sunday.

Camping Expo or An Introduction to Camping with the Pack!

For a lot of people, scouting is synonymous with camping. Unfortunately, also, for a lot of people, camping is synonymous with rain, snakes, bears, and generally not having a good time. If you are one of those people, we would like an opportunity to change your mind.
On Sunday, August 29th from 5 to 7, Pack 200 will hold a camping expo in the playground area at First church. We will have people there to talk about tents, sleeping bags, air mattresses, cooking out doors, and generally talking about the Pack 200 camping experience.
There will even be food to eat and tents to crawl through.
Come on out and see what camping with Pack 200 is really about. It’s fun for everyone!

On Saturday, we will be visiting the North Carolina Transportation Museum , “The Museum that Moves You”!
Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the train and automobile museums. Either pack a picnic or plan to eat at the depot.
