Scouts and Parents,

This is a friendly reminder that the online payments are active for returning scouts under online payments and these fees MUST be paid by Monday, October 16th.  (Scouts accounts can be used by sending an email to Kurt Hoffstaetter).  Central Florida Council has added an insurance fee of $15 onto every member for 2018.  However, Troop 320's committee worked a budget that will actually reduce your scouts fees for 2017- 2018 to $120 vs 125.    Adults will see an increase from $24 to $39 with this new fee. 

The committee meeting notes from the October committee meeting, held on Monday, 10/9/17, are available. 

Please utilize the following link or navigate to "Files->Committee Meeting Notes" on the Troop website.  You will need to login.  If there are any questions please contact a committee member.  Thank you.

Our troop scuba trip is fast approaching.  A change for everyone,  is Friday October 26th Orange County, will have school due to the make-up hurricane days.  

Logistics: yes you may bring siblings/adults if they are scuba certified.  Scouts, will still share tents and conduct themselves as a normal campout.   You will need to register the additional as guest and pay the fee for camping and Blue Grotto on the troop website.

We will be travelling on Friday.  We will have the trailer also to help transport the gear.  All adults (18+) will need to have a current Youth protection training completed (within 2 years).  My.scouting.org please email me a copy when completed.  If you have never completed it you will need to create a login.  

Gear: if you are interested in sharing gear please type share in the notes and the size of BCD and wet suit.  This would allow splitting of the cost of the rental. (Rental does not include mask/snorkel, fins, and weights).  Please also indicate in comments if you are taking care of your own gear.   If you would like Mr. Drone's help arranging gear,  must update registration by October 9th. 

Food: scouts will do food as patrols.  Adults/siblings if you want to share in food, please indicate that in the notes.  

Sunday: Blue Grotto typically charges per day.  I am inquiring about a rate to allow 1 more dive on Sunday.  If interested please indicate in comments.  

All of these notes are in the registration area of the event on troop320fl.com.
