The Baden Powell District will be hosting the annual Octoberfest Activities on October 10, 2011. Octoberfest is a great opportunity for troops to show off their scout skills to the Webelos of Baden Powell.
For Webelos, Octoberfest allows cubs to visit the different troops in the Baden Powell district and learn more about the individual programs provided by each troop. Webelos have a chance to interact with the older scouts and learn a few scout skills. This will also satisfy the Arrow of Light requirement of participating in an outdoor Boy Scout oriented event.
Octoberfest will take place on October 10, 2011 at Sportsman’s Country Club located at 4001 NW 39th Expressway. Packs can bring their Webelos at 7:00 PM for a night of fun and activities.
Troops: This event is a great recruitment opportunity. Troops can arrive NO EARLIER than 5:00 PM to begin setting up. The B-P District Committee will enforce the 5:00 PM rule. We do not wish to jeopardize our long-term relationship as we allow each unit the same time window for preparations. B-P personnel will be on-site to assist.
If you have any questions, please contact:
Jennie Croslin 405-787-5570 or rcroslin@cox.net
