Hey all you Mississippi riverboat pilots! Please check out the updated one-sheet!

 

Here's the updated attendance and passenger list I have for the houseboat trip as of 7/7/11:

 

Driver	Mr.Baird	Mr. Adame	Mr. Stanford	Mrs. Shrikanth
Passengers	Duncan, Theo, Paul A.	Alex, Bailey, Shahir, Zachary	Mrs. Courtney,   Rian, Kevin, Mrs. Zawadzki, Daniel	Mr. Einig, Rahul, Michael (1pm departure)

Except for Mrs. Shrikanth, we are meeting at the church at 8:30 am for a 9am departure. Leaders, we will meet at 8am to get troop gear loaded up before the personal gear arrives. If you are not attending, cannot drive, or cannot carry the number of passengers I have assigned to you, please let me know. Depending on the quantity of gear and passenger capacity, we may need to drive one additional car but I'd like to avoid the cost if possible.

 

I realize you gnarly man-scouts may also want to travel in a different car than I have assigned - don't worry, we'll work that out in the parking lot the day of the trip. Also, man-scouts, remember your SPL for the outing is Duncan and a the patrol leaders are Alex and Kevin.

 

Adults, please visit https://myscouting.scouting.org/Pages/eLearning.aspx and make sure your Youth Protection Training, Safety Afloat, Safe Swim Defense, and Weather Hazards training is up to date. If you haven't taken the training, you will have to sign up for an account - have your Scout ID card handy.

 

We will finalize the menu at the scout meeting on 6/14, so if you want input on the menu, please show up to the meeting. If you have an allergy or other dietary restriction and can't make it to the meeting, please make sure I know about it!

 

Also, please bring a check for $100 (minimum, or you can pay the full amount at that time) to the 6/14 to cover the cost of the boat rental.

 

I have attached a permission slip and a one-sheeter for the outing. Please print out the permission slip and bring a signed copy to the meeting.

 

In summary, you have  things to do at the next meeting: bring a signed permission slip, bring a $100 check, elect an SPL and 2 PL's, and do your menu planning. In addition, adults need to let me know if they can drive with the assigned number of passengers and complete their training before July  8th.
