A few things:

Uniform

Scouts: please wear full Class A uniform with neckerchiefs and sliders, sashes, and patches with closed toed shoes.

Parents: If you have a uniform, please look to wear it.

Rehearsal and setup

Scouts and those parents who can help with setup, please arrive at 5:00pm. We will have access to the facility at that time. Do not enter the facility before our reserved time (5.00pm).

Potluck Dinner

Please see below for food allocations. Last time we had about the right amount to a slight excess of food so if we can use that as a baseline that would be great (we should be looking at having roughly 100 people there). Some comments on having more proteins and little less on pasta/noodles/rice (we can use the potluck page to balance all that). 

Last Name N-V: Fruits, Salads, and Desserts

All Others: Main Courses

Please fill out signup sheet below (if you are bringing guests, place # in others).

On the potluck page, please enter item and type to avoid duplication and balance protein/carbs.

No soda. No access to kitchen. Bring serving utensils (not individual) for your particular items.
