This Friday night, April 8th, is the last day to pay for the Washington D.C trip.

The cost is 85 dollars.

Due to the overwhelming response, we wanted to share some information as to how we will handle sign-up.

We have 18 slots in total for youth. If more than 18 scouts sign up with a $100 non-refundable deposit (made out to: Troop 106), we will pick who goes based off of age and rank. The reason for this is some of the older scouts may not have another chance to go on this trip, before they turn 18 and become an adult. Those people who may get cut, will get first shot at other high adventure trips (more info to come soon)

In the case that less than 18 scouts sign up Friday night, everyone that signs up is guaranteed a spot. We will then offer those open spots to scouts until the end of the month, at which point we will open it up to the adult waiting list.

Scouts must be 14 at the time of the trip (Feb 2017) in order to go, Scouts that will be 13 1/2 at the time of the trip will need the approval of the Scoutmaster. Additionally scouts are required to have Swimming merit badge to attend, as this is VERY aquatic.

Any adults that want to go, can put their name on a waiting list. This will be done on a first come first serve basis.

Any questions direct to Mike

We will be having a Parents Night this coming Friday night.

We will be discussing: Summer Camp & Florida Sea Base

Sign up for Seabase will open right after the presentation. Bring a $100 check made out to “Troop 106” if your son wants to attend. At this time adults will be put on a waiting list.

Make sure you are there, as there will be a lot of info given out & questions answered.

Starts at 8P prompt. Meeting with scouts still starts at 7p.
