Each Scout needs to have a current book to attend class.
A donation will be accepted to go to a campership for a Scout at Camp Durant
in 2009. The amount of the donation is up to you.
Lunch is bring your own.
Time is from 12 till 1pm.
Bring your sandwich and save money on lunch.
We will also do the Jimmy John's like last year, Bring your lunch money in a envelope with your name on
it. Download a pdf menu from the JJ website and circle what you want.
APO volunteers will take your order and return with your food and change.
But we encourage everyone to bag a lunch.
Uniforms and behavior guidelines.
Each Unit must have at least two adult leaders present throughout the day.
In the case of CITN we may need more to get scouts to Bennett Place.
A class A must be worn properly all through the event.
We are scouts and proud of the fact we stand for something with character and independance.
Behavior is based on the Scout Oath and Law.
Remember all the adults here are volunteers giving thier time because they believe in you and the scouting
program.
Treat them with the respect they deserve.
You will also be expected to treat Duke's property and your fellow scouts with the same respect.
We are guests there and we want to be able to return again next year.
Mawat District will furnish Merit badge work books and Blue cards.
Bring 5 dollars to pay for a merit badge book from council if you do not have a Current one
and a pencil.
As classes fill, please inform me if you cannot attend.
We can reflect that here and give another scout the opportunity to attend.
Download and print this permision slip out.
Bring it in with you filled out so we can speed up the registration process.
If we all do this we can save over 30 minutes during check in.
