                                                                        Things to remember: 

                                                                        1.  All the requirements that apply to your troop's regular Boy Scout camp outs apply to the Award Weekend as well (medical forms, youth protection training for adults, etc.)

                                                                        2.  All Scouts must be with a parent or other adult troop leaders who are responsible for them.  Two deep leadership is a Boy Scout requirement.

                                                                        3.  Bring a tent, sleeping bag and lightweight poncho in case of rain. 

                                                                        4.  All meals will be in the Dining Hall, beginning with breakfast on Saturday.  Please bring a reusable mug and water bottle to help reduce waste.

                                                                        5.  Plan to have fun and work hard.  The merit badge instructors are top-notch professionals in their fields, and have designed lots of hands-on activities to introduce you to their work.

                                                                        If you have questions, please contact Heather Ball at
