Rodney Sailing

Join us for a four day sail on a 34-38 foot sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay. Scouts will arrive at Rodney Scout Reservation on Sunday at 1:30 PM and will spend Sunday and Monday training at our Sailing Base and taking part in camp-wide program. On Monday evening at 7:00 PM, the crew will be transported across the Bay to Havre de Grace and board the boat for a four day adventure. Each boat will consist of 5 crew (scouts only), a captain (staff), and a first mate (staff). Weekly participation is limited to 15 Scouts. The crew will return to Rodney on Friday evening for our family dinner and campfire program.
