After the Committee Meeting last night I am happy to report we have almost all of the details for the DC Trip.

PLEASE THROUGHLY READ THIS WHOLE POST

The Cost of the trip will be $120 per/person (youth or adult)

The reason the cost went up is various discussions occurred and it was deemed best since we will be spending two full days touring DC that instead of tent camping we stay at a hotel. This increases the lodging and food costs for the weekend which is why the overall cost of the trip went up.

Due to the fact that we have to book enough hotel rooms we have created a payment schedule that is slightly different from normal trips:

a $60 per/person NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is due on 10/19/12

the remaining $60 is due on 10/26/12

There will be a $20 late fee is this payment schedule is not followed, with the only exception being pre-paying the total on 10/19/12

The reason we needed to do this was we are going to book all the hotel rooms on 10/19 and need an accurate count as to how many people are going. Troop 106 would normally never make anything NON REFUNDABLE, but due to the nature of this trip it was necessary.

If someone was to pay for the trip in full and something came up at the last minute that didn’t allow them to go they WOULD get the second $60 payment refunded but NOT the initial $60 deposit.

If a scout or adult is using money from their account or plans to use the money raised for the pie sales, they need to do two things:

1) Contact the Scoutmaster Immediately

2) Bring a $60 deposit on 10/19/12, which will be refunded after the trip

There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this

So everyone is all on the same page here is what the $120 covers:

3 nights in a hotel

3 Breakfasts

2 Lunches

2 Dinners

Entrance fee to certain attractions

Parking Costs

Miscellaneous

We will be leaving on Friday 11/9 from the church at 5P. Please be prompt

We will return on Monday 11/12 to the church at approx. 2P.

We will spend two full days touring DC (Saturday & Sunday) and there may be a few cool surprises thrown in.

There will be a treasure hunt for both the Youth & Adults (separate, not competing with each other) with PRIZES for the winners

If anyone has any questions in regards to this feel free to reach out to Mike.
