Fall 2007

Dear Pine Tree Candidate:

CONGRATULATIONS! Upon recommendation of your Scoutmaster, you have been accepted to attend Pine Tree Troop 104 Junior Leader Training course. The course will be held at Camp Garland (Locust Grove) on Thursday, October 18th - Sunday, October 21st.

On Thursday, October 18th, you should not arrive at Camp Garland before 3:00 PM, or later than 5:00 PM. Tardiness, for whatever reason, cannot be allowed! This course is conducted on a very tight time schedule, it must, therefore, begin on time and remain on time. It is at least a one hour drive to Camp Garland from Tulsa. Please plan on heavy traffic and leave early. Be sure to bring all items on the personal equipment list. Do not bring items not on the list. You must report to check-in in proper uniform (as described on the personal equipment list).

The opening ceremony will be held promptly at 5:30 PM on Thursday, October 18th. The closing ceremony will be held at 3:00 PM, Sunday, October 21st. Your parents, family, and Scoutmaster are invited (and encouraged) to attend both of these formations. You should be ready to depart for home by 5:00 PM on Sunday.

All participants are required to attend the full course! If you miss the opening or any part of the course, it cannot be made up. You must be prepared to arrive on time and remain for the entire course time period.

Read the enclosed personal equipment list very carefully. Bring everything (and only those things) that appear on the list. It is important that you prepare your uniform to match the required uniform. You MUST be in proper uniform to be admitted to the course. We suggest you read the Patrol Leaders Handbook, and the Scout Fieldbook BEFORE you come to the course.

Fill out the medical form and return it to the Scout Service Center by Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Failure to return this form by the date specified may result in your being dropped from the course. If you cancel your attendance, notify the Scout Service Center as soon as possible 743-6125 or 1-800-367-1272.

The Pine Tree Junior Leader Training course will present you with a challenge unlike any other you may have experienced so far in your Scouting career. You will participate in a training adventure you will long remember.

Pine Tree prides itself on representing the highest ideals of Scouting. Conduct unbecoming of the Scout Oath or Law has no place at Pine Tree and will not be permitted. You must prepare yourself both physically and mentally now. YOU MUST PRACTICE AND KNOW your basic Scout skills, i.e. knots, lashing, first aid, cooking, fire building, etc., before you attend this course. Be prepared to give 100% effort at all times during the course, regardless of the situation or adversity. Come prepared to have a learning experience!
