There are some changes in regards to this outstanding event. Please read the following.

Shuttle busses will run from the parking lot of Good Shepherd Baptist Church, 2223 South Crater Road, beginning at 4 PM and running continuously, every 15 minutes, through the evening. There is no charge for the shuttle service.
  
2. This year, participation is limited to 100 Scouts. One adult leader per unit needs to call in the unit's participation with numbers of Scouts and adult leaders to Betsy Dinger at the National ParkService- 732-3531 x217. Call early to avoid disappointment.
 
3. Each scout and leader needs to bring a lighter, the long-necked type.
 
4. Class A uniform is the order of the day. Dress for the weather; it cools off quickly.
 
The program begins at 5:30 PM, and concludes at 8:00 PM.

ROUNDTABLES
Roundtables are a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at the unit level.  It serves as a source of information on events and training and an opportunity to share experiences and enjoy fellowship with other unit leaders.  Roundtables provide unit leaders with skills, techniques, and program ideas to enhance the quality of their meetings.  .  Please make an effort to participate in these informative sessions, which are designed to assist unit level leadership in program development.
