NOTE: 

The 2010 GBB National Rendezvous will be a week-long base camp event at Chapman State Park located near Buchers Mills, Pennsylvania!  Chapman State Park is located about eight miles southwest of Clarendon, PA and about 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.  Here are some need-to-know items for the event:

When:   June 19^th – 26^th, 2010

              Units may arrive any time on Saturday the 19^th or Sunday the 20th.

              The first scheduled event will be the leader’s huddle on Sunday evening.

              Units that are in camp on Sunday the 20^th will be able to participate in a group church service.

              Camp will close Friday evening with the final council fire.  Units may break camp Friday night or Saturday morning.

Cost:       $50 registration fee (covers camping and activities for the week)

                 If you want to bring extra spending money you may but there are few opportunities to spend money in camp.

Food:      Each unit is responsible for their own food.  As usual, there will likely be a daily store runner for perishable and last-minute items. 

Equipment:   There should be plenty of room for tents and kitchens.  More information will follow regarding the needs for specialized equipment for classes. 

Activities:    For those that are not familiar with the National Rendezvous, we tent camp for a week and have various training classes and fun events that will inform and challenge each of you.  Each day will include a unit team devotional in the morning and a large camp devotional (Council Fire) in the evening.  The other activities include swimming, canoeing, craft projects, gun safety, hiking, campfire cooking, fishing and several other activities that are in the planning stages.

Deadline: In order to accurately plan for Rendezvous activities we need to have all paperwork and registration fees received in the GBB National Office by April 30, 2010.  Each participant will need to complete the following GBB National Forms that can be found on our web site, www.gbbnational.com.

·                    National Event Registration Form

·                    Medical Permission Form

·                    Event Permission Slip

As a reminder, Rendezvous Events are for GBB National registered men and boys, age eight and older.  This means that all men and boys who plan to attend Rendezvous must be included on the unit’s annual registration forms.  Boys younger than eight may attend Rendezvous but they must have a male legal guardian attend Rendezvous with them.  Any requests for exceptions to those requirements must be communicated to GBB National for approval.  Please keep current with the GBB web site and your e-mail for updates.

We hope every unit is making plans to attend this great discipleship event!

                                                    Thanks!
