Tent Sign up!
We have a tent set up this weekend. The link below is for Scouts to sign up for tent setups. A couple of new things this year. 1) Columns are listed for scout or parent cell-phone numbers so a reminder text can be sent to those scouts signed up. 2) We need 2-3 scouts to help Mr. Dansfield with loading the trailer before a set-up. 3) Parents are also welcome to sign up for the setups. Their scout will get the credit for the parents' help.
