Spook O Ree This Weekend

This is an update for any families that have signed up to attend this weekend's Spook O Ree event at Treasure Valley.  The event takes place on Saturday, October 25 and will run from 3pm-8pm at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation (394 Pleasantdale Rd, Rutland).  You do not have to be there the entire time.  It's a drop in type of event.  You arrive when you can and leave when you want to.  When you first drive into the valley, there is a big white farm house in front of you and a small road to the right.  You will be directed to drive that way and park in the big field.  From there, a shuttle will take you to the East Lodge building where you will have to check in.  Last year, they had sheets with pack number on them (remember we are Pack 118!) and you just had to write the scout's name on the sheet.  We assume it will be a similar process this year.  Boys should wear their Halloween costume, but don't have to.  The event staff is asking that boys do not wear masks or bring weapons.  Boys should also bring a bag or bucket to collect treats in.  If you plan on being there after dark, make sure you bring a flashlight as it gets very dark.  There are tons of games and other activities set up down the hill from where you check in, so its important that you have fun!  When you're ready to leave, the shuttle will take you from East Lodge back to the parking lot, or if you're super brave, you can hike back up the hill.  Ryan and I will be camp masters for the weekend and are stationed at the brown Magee Visitor Center so if you do walk up the hill, make sure you stop in to visit!  (we'll have treats to give out!!)  If you have any questions, please make sure you contact Ryan at evannpd@charter.net
