Parents and Scouts: Ok – Here it is!  The permission slip for the January campout to Camp Manatoc in Peninsula Ohio and our snow sports weekend. It will be January 16-18; leaving the church parking lot at 6 PM.  As I have explained, the cabin we are renting will hold 24.  Those first 24 will have the opportunity to either sleep in the cabin or outside in a tent.  After the cabin is full all wishing to go will be in tents.  Just make sure you understand this and if you wish to be in the cabin be there tomorrow night and turn in your permission slip to Mr. Baughman – NOT ME. The cost of the weekend will depend on what you are going to do.  See the linked sheet to figure out what the cost will be.  All of those going skiing or boarding will have to have a helmet, which can be rented at Brandywine.  If you have your own gear then that is fine, just let me know on the form.  There will also be another Liability form that will need to be completed...
