It is IMPERATIVE that you show up at your assigned time and place so that all the adults may enjoy spending time with their troop. If you cannot make your assigned work time, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Without the volunteers to help at each of the work assignments, this event would not be possible.

JUNIOR BLAST CHECKLIST: Registration: Ensure all girl and adult registration forms are completed properly. Adult attending event, address and phone number are on the Troop Registration Form. Attach a copy of the emailed confirmation of BOA transfer to JB645 you received from council. Keep a copy of Flyer for future reference. Keep copy of girl and troop registration forms. Additional registration information and helpful hints: All registrations will be turned in at the Bass Pro Shop 18001 BASS PRO DR. INDEPENDENCE, MO. Conservation Room Lower Level Feb. 21 st or Feb. 28 th in person. By having the leader/adult wait while the forms are checked, any missing information can be highlighted, the leader/adult can call the parent to get the needed information, and the troop registration can be processed. We are hoping this will cut down on frustration, while still allowing the registration committee to ensure the safety of each girl and adult attending the event. This will also eliminate any registrations being lost or delayed in the mail. We also realize that there is a potential to have long lines waiting to turn in the registrations. We will have several people available to check the forms. We hope to be able to keep the lines moving and not have anyone wait for an unreasonable amount of time. Again, if all leaders have checked the forms prior to turning them in, the process will go smoother AND quicker. Coming To and During the event: Eat dinner before arriving only snacks are served. Arrive and check in at your assigned time as a troop-no individual drop-offs. No sleeping bags. Stay with your buddy. Determine which adult will attend the mandatory leader meeting. Have a great time!! Any questions contact: Lesma Whalon 816-213-9719 lesma.whalon@lsr7.net
