when information available) for permission slips, web pages, and in some
cases a link online registration.
– Events are color coded to easily distinguish between types of
activities
– Once you click on an event, there is an option to save the event to
your own electronic calendar.

Another helpful website feature: If you are having difficulty locating a

Fwd: HEADS UP: Potential CPR/WFA Class Add in May (17-19th at Camp Vandevender)

All,

Heads up that GSLAC may be adding a CPR/AED & Wilderness First Aid course
for May 17-19 at Camp Vandevender.

The cost is $70 for WRFA and $20 for CPR.
CPR-Friday 6:30pm-10:30pm.
WRFA- Saturday 8:00am-9:00pm and Sunday 7:00am-noon.

*PHILMONT TREKKERS:* This course is required for all high adventure
activities which includes Philmont. We have only two CPR/AED-WFA current
trekkers for Philmont this summer. Strongly recommend more Philmont
trekkers take this course (scouts may take this course).

Special thanks for Mr. Coolbaugh for coordinating this added class!

Stand by for more to follow.

Mr. Halpin
