The event will be held “rain or shine” and no refunds will be issued, except for major medical reasons. Refund requests must be made in writing and submitted to the Council office after the event. Everyone who attends EXPO must register for the event; and all attendees will be issued an appropriately colored wristband, which must be worn at all times. For safety reasons, un-registered people will not be permitted in certain areas. We will also be in areas which we cannot prevent the general public from accessing, so there will be times when the youth are co-mingled with non-Scouters. The wristbands are an important factor in managing a safe environment. Many youth and adults remove the bands or simply do not wear them. We require you to speak to your unit and explain the importance of the wristbands for this event and expect everyone to adhere to this policy. Access to certain areas will be prohibited without a wristband. Registration will done by the Senior Patrol Leader (or acting SPL) and/or Scribe and one Adult leader. As a boy-led organization, please encourage your youth leadership to embrace their roles. Your SPL/Scribe should have all relevant information ready to confirm with the registration staff. Your unit will first be directed to your campsite and your SPL/Scribe and leader must return to the registration area. There will probably not be parking or room for your unit to congregate near the registration area. Webelos and Visitors (non-registered parents/etc) are encouraged to camp as a den. They must also pay the appropriate fees, follow EXPO policies, wear a wristband and conduct themselves in a manner consistent with BSA guidelines. The EXPO Fee is based on the date and location of registration. As part of organizing this event, we are expected to have a reasonable attendance estimate by September 1st. We are urging everyone to register an appropriate estimate of attendees by the September 1stth deadline to assist us with our estimates.
