Once again it is nearing the time of the year for the District Freeze-o-Ree. This year the event will be held the weekend of January 31 to February 2 at Camp William B. Snyder. The cost per attendee is $22. 

The forces of the Galactic Empire have landed at Camp Snyder! The few defenders are outnumbered and outgunned! We invite your Scouts to join us as we battle for freedom and fun with a new and exciting array of events and competitions, created by Goose Creek Scouts for Goose Creek Scouts. 

After a Saturday full of fun and battle, there will be a campfire where awards will be given out to the patrols who got the most points during the day, as well as to winners of special competitions. Campfire skits that use the Star Wars theme earn bonus recognition. Each Freeze-o-Ree event is based on the patrol's ability to work together as a team, general scout skills, and scout spirit. Patrols are responsible for having their scorecard with them at all times. 

Scoutmasters and Senior Patrol Leaders should come to a quick meeting on Friday night at the Freeze-o-Ree headquarters to get more information about their schedules for the following day. 

We look forward to seeing you at this year's Freeze-o-Ree. If you have questions, please contact Event Chair Dan Golding, dgolding@gmail.com, 703-868-2051.

REGISTRATION

Unit registration is online, and all registrations must be received by January 29th, 2025. REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT ON 1/29/2024. We ask that Troops register a single “placeholder” in advance to ensure best placement in campsites. 

Participation in the Freeze-o-Ree is open to all NCAC TroopsCrews, and AOL Patrols/Dens!

Troops/Crews/AOL Dens should register as a Unit (all participants under one single bulk registration). OA Staff can register as individuals (not registered with the Unit). However, the cost per person is the same - $22 each. Staff who are camping and eating with their Troops should register with them. Staff who are camping and eating with the OA should register as Staff. There will be no non-staff individual registrations. If you are a small group or individual that needs help connecting with another Troop to partner, please let the organizers know and we’ll help! If you are having trouble finding enough adult leaders, please let us know and we’ll help with that, too!

There is NO ON-SITE REGISTRATION - all participants must register and pay ONLINE. 

AOL Participation - We are thrilled to accept AOL Scouts at the Freeze-o-Ree. AOL’s have two options for attending:

First, they can stay overnight with their AOL Patrol/Den. However, due to the possibly cold conditions, we ask that AOL's camp with their parents in the same tent. You can stay in a campsite with the Troop of your choice, or we'll find a Troop to "host" you. 

The second option is for AOL Scouts to come out on Saturday as Day Participants. If you utilize this option, please bring lunch, as we won’t be providing meals.  In either case, we're very excited to welcome AOL's to the Freeze-o-Ree!!  We'll have a special base for day participants to hang out, leave their gear, and eat lunch, which will be hosted by our Staff Wookie. 

A commemorative Loudoun District Freeze-o-Ree patch will be distributed to all participants registered for this event.You may also contact Chapter Chief Sierra Price at LoudounChapter@wipit470.org or Chapter Advisor Dan Golding at dgolding@gmail.com for more information.
