With the ski trip fast approaching, a few things to communicate:
-
Permission slips due back by Dec 22nd meeting.
-
Departure date Dec 26th, 1PM from Municipal Building.
-
Skiing at Okemo full day on day one, followed by Pico 1.5 days.
-
Meals provided are: Breakfast Tue / Wed / Thur, Dinner Tue / Wed.
-
Scouts are responsible for the following meals: Dinner Monday on drive up, Lunch Tue / Wed / Thu, Dinner Thu drive back to BT.
-
As we did last year, we'll make Subway (or the like) runs in the evenings for next day's lunches (for those interested).
-
Adult leaders will guide, i.e. this is a Scout led trip. There is a duty roster and all Scouts are expected to chip in to make things happen. Food / clean up / rounding up the gang to get to the mountain / cooking / etc.
-
Medications - need to be clearly spelled out on permission slips. Bring only enough for the three day trip. Don't leave your meds at home. Make sure your meds have their original label on them.
-
For the meds, we need to follow a protocol similar to Summer Camp. Check your meds with Mrs. Zalewski who will coordinate this.
-
Please bring appropriate amount of spending money for meals and any incidentals.
-
In addition to your personal items and clothing, bring a sleeping bag and basic toiletries.
-
Helmets are required for all Scout - not optional.
-
Please arrange for your ski and equipment rentals here in NJ, not at the mountain in VT
-
Any snacks / drinks you wish to share with others are also greatly appreciated.
-
Troop uniforms for drive up and down not required. Any Class B that is appropriate for the lodge is encouraged.
Lastly, bring weather appropriate clothing for skiing. Last year, the temp on day 1 as we got going was 0 degrees!
