Mountain Man Rendezvous: Reminder of Parental Consent forms

Just a reminder, please have all Scout participants bring their Waiver & Firearm Release forms signed by a parent or legal guardian to the Relay check in. Many registration forms have been received without these waivers, so it is imperative that these forms be brought upon check-in in order to participate in the event. Please call me or email me if you have questions about this form.
Thanks!

Last year we had a couple of scouts participate and they really enjoyed it.
