A few notes to aid you in planning for the weekend:
- Registration begins at 5:30 pm Friday. You will be directed to your campsite and given time to set up your tent. Plan to eat dinner before you arrive. Evening training sessions will begin at 7:00 pm. You must attend the full weekend.
- Everyone must bring a current copy of their Annual Health and Medical Record Form (A,B).
- Be sure to watch the weather no more than two days prior to the weekend. The weather forecasters can only predict accurately up to 36 hours ahead of time, so please be aware and pack accordingly. You will have a more favorable experience if you are comfortable. Remember some of the training courses are designed to be held outdoors.
- Included is a list of items to bring. Feel free to add more if you have a need. Again, don’t feel compelled to run out and buy $500 worth of camping equipment. Please borrow from your Unit or friends what you don’t have.
- No Food in Tents! All meals are provided. If you wish to store food at your site, be sure it is not in your tent. Please indicate on your registration form if you have special dietary needs.
- Finally, this is a scouting event; so NO alcoholic beverages or tobacco products are allowed on camp property for any reason. Please leave all that at home.
- Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while at camp!
