FALL KICKOFF 2011 Friday, October 14th through Sunday, October 16th Camp Shantituck, Shepherdsville, KY Join us for a full weekend of Girl Scout training. We have something for everyone, whether you’re a first time leader or a seasoned veteran. Come stay the weekend or for just one session - it’s your choice. The Girl Scout Shop will be there with lots of great items for your convenience. In addition, there will be food, time to network with other leaders, campfire singing, and so much more. On Sunday, we will offer a morning of round robin activities, such as crafts, games, and other fun things to do in the fall and winter. The following information should help you in planning for the weekend. Meals: Meals will be available for a small fee. See the attached registration form for details. Please be sure to indicate any special dietary concerns on your registration. Remember if you are taking Camp Out or a cooking course, then some of your meals are included with that class fee. Lodging: Overnight accommodations will be pre-assigned on a first come, first served basis. Indicate your choice on the registration form. Quiet hours (11:00 PM – 7:00 AM) will be observed in all facilities except Cardinal Lodge - the hub for the operations of the weekend. There will be staff working late, up early in the morning, and people coming and going. If you’re a person who likes to stay up late - you should request Cardinal. Participants can bring their own tents if they wish. Denham, Cardinal, Pine Lair, and Cedar Bluff (wood stove only) are heated buildings. All other shelters and platform tents are not winterized. Denham and Cardinal have showers. All other buildings, shelters, and tents may use the showers at the pool. All buildings have modern bathrooms. All shelters and tents have outdoor latrines. There are mattresses to sleep on in all facilities. You will need to bring your own bedding. What To Bring: Note taking material, resource books appropriate for your classes, equipment or materials as indicated in course descriptions, an unbreakable cup or mug for beverages, rain gear, warm jacket, sit upon, and flashlight. If staying overnight, you will be responsible for your own personal items (towels, personal hygiene, etc), clothing and bedroll. If you plan to sleep in a tent, make sure to weatherize your personal gear and sleeping bag.
Some classes will be held outdoors, so dress for the weather – it may be cold and wet! Training patches will be on sale. Proof of class attendance is required.
