2024 SCOUT OVERNIGHTER -  Cancelled

 

Date:  Oct. 5 - 6

Location:   Louis H Marrero Park, 1200 Avenue D, Westwego, LA

Time:    6:00 p.m. – 10:00 a.m.

Special Activity: Bring Non-Perishable Food Items

The Scout Overnighter will be held at the Louis Marrero Park in Westwego. The park is located on the corner of Avenue D and Vic A. Pitre Drive (next to the Westwego Gym).

Once again it is that time of year when we recruit new youth to our packs.  It is also that time of year that we give them their first unique camping experience in the form of the Scout Overnighter.  As you know Cub Scouting is the back bone and our supply of new youth to our troops.

Scoutmasters:

I would like to ask that you and your troop participate by hosting a game or activity for the youth to participate in. The impression we make on them now will mean they stay in scouting and make that trail to Eagle. Once again I cannot stress the importance of us making a good first impression.

Cubmasters:

I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to make this a great campout for the cubs by having your unit put on a game or some other form of activity for them to enjoy.

You and your unit can make this campout a great and memorable experience for everyone. By showing our new people a good time on their first outing, they will surely want to come back.

Cancellation Policy
The following policy statement is applicable to all council and district activities where a fee is collected by the Southeast Louisiana Council. Online convenience fees (if applicable) are not refundable. All activities are considered non-refundable, unless there is a medical emergency or a death in the immediate family. Refund requests will only be considered if made in writing. A service charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the activity fee will be assessed on all refunds to cover the costs incurred in preparation of the activity and processing the refund. Written refund requests must be submitted prior to the start of any event. Any requests after the activity will be considered only for personal illness or family emergencies. No refund requests will be accepted after ten (10) days following the end of the activity. Consideration for a full (minus charges and costs incurred) refund will be considered for special hardship cases and for advanced-level training courses such as Wood Badge. For major activities that require a non-refundable deposit, such as council contingents to the National Jamboree and Philmont, a full refund less the non-refundable deposit will be considered based on the time of the request and the council's ability to fill the slot with another participant. If the slot is not able to be filled, no refund will be available. No refunds of any fees are available until 30 days after the event. Refund checks will be issued to the individual or entity paying the original fee within 30 days of receipt of the request pending its approval. Fees are only transferable within the same unit to a Scout or adult leader not currently registered for that specific activity. If an activity is canceled or postponed due to weather, every effort will be made to reschedule the activity. If an activity is canceled and the participant cannot participate during the alternate date, the full fee will be refunded minus any service fees and costs incurred by the event prior to the cancellation. This amount may vary from event to event. Send all refund requests to sela@bsamail.org.
