DETAILS
You can begin arriving and setting up at 3:30PM on Friday. The gates will close at 6:30PM. If you arrive after 6:30pm, you will need the combination for the lock – we can provide that to you ahead of time if you ask your Den Leader. Call your Den Leader if you need further assistance when you arrive at the gate.

NOTE: If you have other activities planned this weekend, please feel free to leave with your scout as needed and then come back, so your son can enjoy the majority of the weekend with the Pack!
