Barony of Hidden Mountain,
Camp Sandy Ridge Girl Scout Camp
Bennettsville, SC
Twenty years ago a generous King granted our petition to become a Barony:
Setting our good gentles on the road to what could be...
Our journey has not been without risk. Often fraught with perils, our path has also led us to behold great and wondrous things and to experience the warm camaraderie of our fellow travelers. A milestone in our journey approaches. It has taken twenty years to arrive. At this point we ask that you join us as we take pause and reflect upon all that has and shall transpire. We shall honor our past, stand in the midst of our present and look with great hope to our future as we invest our new Coronets.
It shall be a most joyous revelry, all the more dear with our friends about us.
The milestone is between Bennettsville and Cheraw at Camp Sandy Ridge. It is a lovely site offering us respite in a pine forest with cabins, a lovely hall, easily accessible by all. Tenting is available,ground fires in designated areas only. This is a dry site. Site opens at 5pm on Friday and closes at 10am on Sunday.
A fine repast redolent of our journey and times will be served*, presented by our own THL
Rowen the Shiftless (Christina Waring), (843) 871-6832 or rowencat@yahoo.com)
*Please contact her with any dietary concerns.
There shall be Tourneys for all comers, brave and true with Scenarios sure to please. Archery, heavy fighting, thrown weapons, static and bardic arts and sciences are your choices.
The theme for A&S is items for a journey (any medium). Of course open display is always encouraged.
Our Champions* shall be chosen this day as well, to protect and defend us on our way.
