Tribune Sea Base 2018 Update:
We’re making great progress in the planning phase for Sea Base and have a few updates to share:
- Our first Sea Base Scout Meeting will be Thursday 2/15 where we’ll review the packing list and do an overview of the trip. Parents are asked to come to this meeting. More details and an agenda will be provided next week. We will be planning a swim test and training session, possibly 2/25 so be on the look-out for that invitation.
- We have one open position for the Coral Reef Sea Base adventure which is a sailing excursion. If you are interested in moving your registration from the Out Island to the Coral Reef Sailing excursion, please let Mr. Peischl, Mr. Washington or Mr. Patton know as quickly as possible. If you know of another scout in another Troop who may be interested, please let us know that as well. We would like to recruit from within the Troop first for this open sailing position before offering outside of the Troop.
- Final payment for Sea Base will be due May 3rd. The amount will be adjusted according to final expenses. More to come on the final cost.
If you have any Sea Base questions, feel free to email RaNae Wright at ranae.wright@gmail.com or text to 513-236-9092.
