Participants are welcome to camp for the weekend,
or just attend for Saturday’s full slate of activities.

FOR MORE DETAILS SEE THE ATTACHED 18-1A Flyer below.
Will update site after I get done with Scout Law Day!!!
Everything after this point on the page (other than 18-1A) may need to be changed.
The BIG DIFFERENCE...ALL IN SINGLE DAY.
ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE ORIENTEERING ON SUNDAY, THAT WILL BE A SANCTIONED "A-EVENT"
THAT IS NOT OFFICIALLY PART OF NOSOC, BUT IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Saturday's program will be skill development, training, and practice, and FUN. An expert orienteer can be available to work with your Unit to help your scouts learn skills (and pass some badge requirements). Scouts (and adults) will be able to learn orienteering skills that will enable even first-timers to participate the courses. Ample orienteering courses will be available for scouts to practice their orienteering skills, including cross country courses during the day, and an exciting short Night-O score course.
Sunday's program will be the Northeast Ohio Scout Orienteering Championships. Scouts (as well as adults!) will compete with other scouts of the same rank or age level. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each class. As an added bonus, we will have an auction on Sunday that will allow Units to bid on prizes using team points accumulated during the weekend.
PRE-REGISTRATION MANDATORY: All Units must pre-register and pre-pay. It is expected that scouts will register as Units (troops/packs/crews). Scouts who want to participate without the benefit of a Unit in camp, can do so by jointly pre-registering with another scout, or with their parent, and an adult must be in Camp for the entire activity. Mark the appropriate box on the pre-reg. form
PRE-REGISTRATION DEADLINE : September 16, 2017, or 250 Scouts, whichever comes first. It is anticipated that this event will fill to capacity before the deadline. Early registration is encouraged. Pre-registrations received after the deadline, or when at capacity, may be declined and returned.
Timely pre-registration is needed so we have the time to print maps and assemble a packet of materials in advance.
COSTS: $10.00 per person (Scouts and participating adults) for one day, or $15.00 per person (Scouts and participating adults) for both days. Only adults who want a map and patch on Saturday, or who are competing in the Leader Classes on Sunday, need to register and pay. Adults that want to do course(s) on Saturday, other than shadowing their own scouts, but who have not pre-registered, will be asked to pay regular NEOOC-event rates that day..
REFUNDS: Low cost, minimal budget, maps, patches, and other prep…no refunds, because...
WE GO RAIN OR SHINE: Maps can be placed in plastic bags. Scouts can dress for the weather.
PATCHES : Custom designed event patches will also be provided to all who pre-register and pre-pay.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY: Each participant must have his or her own signed Waiver of Liability form that can be downloaded from the website, or sent to you by requesting one from ScoutsOrienteering@gmail.com. These must be brought to the event and handed in at check-in.
CAMPING : Contact the Great Trail Council directly at 330-773-0415. There are plenty of campsites available on a first-come basis. Those are separate fees.
HELP OUT : It takes many hands to do a quality event. Adults are always needed to help with the start and finish areas. And there are other times and places where both youth and adult help is appreciated.
