WISE Trip update - Final meeting July 26

The WISE trip is finally here!

Our final meeting will take place Thursday, July 26, 7PM at the 2nd Congregational Church.
In addition to participating Scouts, at least one parent must be in attendance for this meeting.

Please email me your home emergency contact phone number so the phone tree can be assembled and distributed on Thursday.

All participants must wear their Class A uniforms to the meeting and bring all of the mandatory items on the attached check list. We will have an inspection of your items similar to the Jamboree and if anything is missing you will have to go out and get it that night so we can sign you off as having all of your mandatory items.

Plan to be at the Derby Train Station no later than 6PM on Saturday, July 28 for our departure. Friends and family are encouraged to come down and see us off.  We plan to provide regular updates on our adventure via this blog.

Be Prepared to have a Great Adventure.
