    Congratulations, I hope you have a great time.

    Keep an open mind, and remember that there is often an unseen reason behind a lot of the things, even the ones that might seem frustrating at the time.

      Good luck and have fun.

      Be prepared to get a lot of information in a short amount of time. Sleep when you can!

        My first weekend is coming up the same weekend. I am really looking forward to it, I have talked to people who have done it and everyone says that it is a great experience.

          Enjoy yourself and don't take anything you get to experience for granted. I've been looking forward to woodbadge for a year only to find out 30 days before weekend one that the entire course wasn't going to make.

            Unkiewill and johnponz,
            Same course? What state?
            Start date seems a little odd, but I'm sure it must work for where you are.

                    So ... this must be in an attempt to finish the courses before camporees and conclaves. I guess that makes sense.

                        You have been counseled in what equipment and oersonal gear to bring. But remember to take the REAL essentials with you:
                        * Duct tape.
                        * Extra rope.
                        * A silly hat (pursuent to your PL request)
                        * Modern Scout Manual.
                        * Old Scout Manual or Fieldbook for comparasion.
                        * Tarp (it will be far too big, or too small, or not needed. You predict).
                        * A happy, expectant attitude.
                        * A mug for coffee/etc. Thus being ecologically sound, eliminating the need for throw away styrofoam or paper.
                        * Carabiner to clip cup to belt for ready access.
                        * Our best wishes for a fun, successful WB!

                          I got back from my first weekend a few hours ago, it was a great time. They were not kidding when they told us that we would not have much free time. It was a very full three days. The group of people in my patrol are really great and we gelled very quickly. It should be a great experience.

                          Any fellow Antelopes out here?
