Scouts & Parents,

The Rock Gym overnighter is quickly approaching and I would like to get some basic information out to the troop for this event. For those scouts/parent staying overnight AND that are 14 + years old, it’s highly recommended to become belay trained. The training is held M-Friday 7-9 PM, Sat 1-3 PM. Cost is $10 and last as long as certification remains on file. AK gym staff recommends getting this ahead of time before the event night.  Let me KNOW who gets trained this week & who needs training Saturday evening.

We'll meet Joy Lutheran Church at 7:30 PM Saturday 18 Apr to rendezvous, collect troop permission forms, rock gym waiver paperwork (minor & adult), and $25 (covers the rental cost and food). This is an overnight event until 9:00 AM Sunday morning. We have limited drivers, so parents are responsible for transportation or arrange carpooling to & from the rock gym and/or JLC.  Bring cash, check, or use Scout Account if you have a positive balance.
 
Food! It’s what’s always on my mind. Food will be provide by the troop and is included in the $25
Saturday dinner - You’re welcome to eat before for you come and have midnight cracker barrel style snacks with hot dogs, cheese and cracker and other goodies.
Sunday breakfast – simple and tasty, quick and easy.

Address:  Alaska Rock Gym • 4840 Fairbanks Street, Anchorage AK 99503 • (907) 562-7265
