The first official release of the updated J. Edward Mack updated map.

 It has been about a year since Michael Newman (www.thenewmans.us) contacted SAMBA about creating a real map for Camp Mack. Michael is a scout parent and resident GIS expert at a local firm and in general a great guy. With a combination of information sources, Michael created a draft map and then through review with Gary Guare and Matt Myers has created an accurate representation of the camp. SAMBA can't thank Michael enough for the many hours he donated to this cause. 

 


Attention:

 

The scouts have implemented new guidelines for the use of the camp for non-scout activities such as hiking, biking and trail running. Please reference the attached map and closure date files.
  • Effective immediately, with the exception of Sundays, the camp will be closed to all activities during hunting season.
  • During scout activities the camp will be restricted to the normal summer areas outlined on the map.
  • Night riding is still being evaluated and if the current 1 hour past sundown changes, additional information will be sent out.
  • New gates are/have been installed to limit vehicle travel to the internal areas of the camp.
  • Posting of the map and closure dates will be posted at all entries to the camp.
I would recommend printing these out and keeping a copy for easy reference Please forward this to anyone that uses the camp.  Matt MyersSAMBA- Trail Coordinator J. Edward Mack Scout Reservation
