This event is clearly a cold weather activity, so Scouts and leaders alike must arrive dressed to spend the entire day outside. Be Prepared! Remember, wear layers and stay dry!
Use of the Scout Handbook is encouraged and points will not be deducted for its use. Patrols can earn points for successfully completing the tasks of the station and for teamwork, leadership and attitude. Please help to make this an event to be proud of. The Scout Oath and Law should guide the behavior of everyone attending the event.
