Pack 618:

I have fielded a couple of logistical questions in the last few days about the Crossover ceremony at Lake Pleasant.   Please help me spread the following supplemental information to your den families.

The ceremony will take place on April 2, 2016.  We will be camping at the Javelina Group Campground at the Lake Pleasant Regional Park, which is in the Desert Tortoise Group Camp area, along the SW portion of the lake.  While I anticipate mostly tent camping, the area is equipped for RV’s and pop-up campers, as well.  To the extent anyone brings an RV, please plan to accommodate our tent dwellers by leaving the generator off.  A map and driving directions will be circulated in advance of the event. 

Anyone camping or just coming out for the day needs to sign up on the Sign-Up Genius that Melissa Barker was kind enough to create and circulate.  If you sign up, there will be a voucher in your name at the guard gate when you enter the Lake Pleasant Regional Park.  If you do not sign up, there will be a $6/vehicle entry fee at the gate.  The actual Ceremony will begin right around sunset (actual time TBD), but everyone is welcome (encouraged) to come out earlier to set up camp and socialize before the event.  The Webelos 2 dens are “hosting” the event and have covered the cost of the campground.  Some form of celebratory treat (cake/smores/cupcakes) will be provided after the ceremony.  I believe that most of the Webelos 2s will be camping overnight on April 2nd.  I will be giving boat rides to those who stay over on the morning of April 3rd.  

We hope that many of you will join us in celebrating the award of the Arrow of Light to our Webelos 2s, and to give well-wishes to those who are making the journey into Boy Scouts.
