A few important reminders about the Fall Camporee at the Beaver Valley Power Station on 10/4/08:

In order to attend the Camporee, all Units (Troops and Packs) must
submit their signup sheets by September 19, to the 2 emails indicated on
the signup form. The number of lunches that will be ordered will be
based on the number of Scouts and Adults signed up on 9/19/08. Also,
for this and GPC insurance reasons, siblings and other Non-Scouts just joining in
for a tour are not permitted. You must be registered in advance.

Cub Scout Packs - Because of age limitations at the Power Station, only
Webelos 2 and their Leaders can attend. A signup form indicating the
number of Webelos 2 and adults must be submitted.

Units bringing more Scouts and/or Adults that were indicated as of
9/19/08 will cause a shortage of lunches. Please be Courteous to those
who signed up in advance by not adding to the totals that are submit ted.

Boy Scout Troops - Again, if a Scout signs up, he must attend the
Camporee. Merit Badge class sizes are limited due to classroom sizes
and the number of counselors, and it is expected several classes will be
filled to their limit. A Scout signing up, but not attending the class,
will deny the opportunity for another Scout to earn a particular Merit
Badge. The counselors will have a roster of Scouts and their Troop
number to verify attendance. There will be no walk-ins, and signed blue
cards are required at the beginning of the sessions Saturday morning.

Only Boy Scouts can take a Merit Badge Class. In an effort to equalize
the class sizes, be sure to fill out the first column on the Merit Badge
sign up sheet before filling out the second column. Thank you for your
understanding.

The Unit contact person will be called to verify receipt of their
registration form.

We are looking forward to you r att endance and participation.

Jim Kinest

Scoutmaster, Troop 423
