100 Max Participants. Carpool if possible.

 

Please arrive starting at 9:00 AM. We need everyone parked by 9:30 AM. They plan on having 4 stations in which the kids will rotate through (while parents are welcome to participate where room allows, we are doing this first and foremost for the kids, and they should have precedence if space is an issue). NO DRIVING around the quarry.  Do not drop off your child and leave, they need to have a parent present or a unit leader. They will have vans on site to move between stations. I anticipate each station taking roughly 25 minutes, leaving a small amount of time in-between to rotate stations/use the restroom. Scout Leaders are required handling and dividing the children into these groups and being in charge of organizing and moving the scouts between stations. The event will end at 1:00 PM

 

Lunch will be provided. We are having Pizza Hut. Come with discussion topics for all employees. I will bring blue cards for all leaders. Feel free to take all the photos you would like. I would like to get a group photo before everyone leaves.
