HELPFUL TIPS for Roanoke Science Museum Campers
Instead of emailing the Pack 145 roster, council promissed to send emails to each individual scout to confirm as well as provide addtional information. Thanks to Mr. Tegenkamp for sharing his email which was copied here. If you did not get this email on the Monday prior to your campin date, please contact the council office ASAP.

Hello to our camp-in participants!
Just wanted to send a note to be sure you go to the correct location of the Science Museum. It has been temporarily located at the Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, upstairs across from Belk. They have a great program ready for you this Friday night.
One other note they wanted us to pass on to you - the heating system is not working to it's full potential. They suggest you dress in layers just to be sure you are comfortable. They just had a group of Girl Scouts there for a camp-in, and they did not seem to have any problems with it. So I know our Cub Scouts and parents should be fine! But we wanted you to be prepared.
I have also attached the Health form if you would like to print it, fill one out for each of you, and have it ready when you arrive. YOU ONLY NEED TO PRINT page 2 & 3 of the document. This will give you Part A and Part B, which is all you need for this event.
Happy Scouting!
