#208-18-2012, 07:40 PMCongratulations, 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. -

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!

#1308-26-2012, 10:30 PMI 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?
