Dear Scoutmasters,
Attached you will find a flyer for the Great Arctic Adventure.
This would be a great experience for your scouts.
The week has been planned with a trip to Mad River Mountain and The Chiller.
Camping is in cabins, the scouts will be encouraged to stay one night in a shelter that they built for the Opik training.
They will not be made to do it if they are not comfortable doing it.
Contact me with any questions.
Thank you.
