Thank you all for volunteering to assist the scouts with coordination and safety on their Camporee for 2015.  Here’s a summary of Friday evening’s meeting:

Here’s a summary of the 12 volunteers.  We could use a few additional helpers, but we should have enough as-is to do a good job.

Channel 1 will be 146.490, and will be the primary channel for most communications.  Channel 2 will be 146.580, and is reserved for emergency use and long traffic that would otherwise interfere with normal communications during the ride.  If you have an emergency or long traffic, switch yourselves to Channel 2 so you can have uninterrupted communications.  Please insure your radios are programmed with these two frequencies the day before the event, and keep a written copy of them with you during the event.

The event is on Saturday May 2nd.  All volunteers please meet at Macfarlane Park at 7:30 am.  This park is on the North end of King Road, just north of Bishop Road, in Evansdale.  We will be using two simplex channels for communicate during the event.  Remember to get your HTs AND CELL PHONES on charge the night before, and bring both HTs and cell phones to the event.  Remember to charge and bring any spare batteries as well.

When you arrive, you’ll need to pick up items from the scoutmasters.  Mobile volunteers and those at the turnaround points should pick up a basic first-aid kit.  Base volunteers should pick up TWO copies of the scout list.

At or shortly after 8am those based at mile 5, 7.5, and 12.5 should depart to set up at those locations.  Riders for the 2nd and 3rd legs should also leave now and wait at the 5 and 7.5 mile points for riders to arrive.  Our riders will be traveling back and forth over one of three stretches between bases, and will turn around as soon as they get to the next base.  Continue to patrol back and forth between those two base points during the event.

Scouts will be released in waves at the start of the event.  The sweeper should depart with the initial wave, and wait at the 12.5 mile turnaround and assist with check-ins there until its time to perform the sweep.  Macfarlane volunteers please make sure that you check-in every scout that departs.  We would like to track scout progress in case someone gets sidetracked, so please check off scouts that pass by your turnaround point even if they are not turning at that location.  ALSO please check them a second time on their return pass.  In this way we will know which two bases they disappeared between.

The last of the 25 mile scouts should have arrived at the 12.5 point by 10:45.  The sweeper needs to be AT that end point at this time, and will ride the entire route back to Macfarlane.  Any scouts encountered will need to turn around at this point and accompany the sweeper back to Macfarlane for lunch.  Turn-around volunteers please wait at your location until the sweeper passes by, and then head to Macfarlane for lunch.  The sweeper should arrive at Mafarlane (with any stragglers) by 12:00pm.

All scouts logged as having left Macfarlane should be marked as having arrived back at this point.  In the event someone is unaccounted for, we will compare check-in lists and go from there.

The entire process will repeat itself at 1pm.  Sweeper should be in position and begin his return ride from the 12.5 point at 2:45 pm.  All riders should be back in Macfarlane by 4pm.
