Hello Goshen Volunteers!

Thank you for registering for the Spring Goshen Volunteer Work Weekend, scheduled May 12 - 14, 2023. I am looking forward to a great weekend to help prepare the Goshen Scout Reservation for the 2023 season. Below are a few notes to consider as you prepare for this coming weekend:

Note: Youth attending need to have Youth Protection compliant supervision – either with a parent/guardian or with a contingent from their unit.

Arrival and Check In

Check-in will occur from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm on Friday, May 12th at the Camp Olmsted Dining Hall. There will be no dinner provided Friday night, so please eat before you arrive, or bring food with you! As this is an official BSA event, a completed BSA medical form (parts A and B) must be brought to check in. Medical forms can be found here: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr/

Food

Saturday Breakfast – Sunday Breakfast will be provided. All dietary restrictions and concerns should be reported as part of the registration process. Sunday breakfast will be an informal, continental breakfast set up. Please note that prior registration information stated that participants would need to cook for themselves, but this is no longer the case.

Sleeping Arrangements

Participants are encouraged to camp in campsites at Camp Olmsted but may also stay in the “bunkroom” at Gray’s Lodge (limited availability). Participants should bring a tent and any other necessary camping equipment for the weekend, including appropriate clothing, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. for the forecasted weather.
