IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Please bring at least two 2.5 gallons containers of water. There is no running water in the immediate area of the campgrounds
You will need to cover or bring dark skies friendly flashlight, or have some red tail light tape to put over the lighted end of the flashlight
Bring extra tables for dinner and prep as there are no picnic tables in the area
Our ultimate goal for this event is to have fun and get some achievements, Belt loops or Pins accomplished. Thank you to all the parent volunteers for taking the lead in the games and running the Belt loop events, we'll have everything you need there, so all you have to do is be there and have fun with the boys.
The Den leaders will be involved in getting boys to the achievements that the boys need or want to do and in helping with the games period while Dinner is being prepared. Den Leaders are requested to wear their Class A uniforms. We also need volunteers for the Dinner, Prep and Clean up. So even if you weren't able to sign up for anything else you can still be a big help
