Camping: Killens Pond State Park (Dover 200)
September 24-26, 2010
Troop 70 will be tent camping at Killens Pond State Park the weekend of September 24-26. On Saturday Scouts will travel over to Dover
International Speedway for the Dover 200 at the Monster Mile. Here's the trick...in order to get their free ticket to the Dover 200, each
Scout must "sell" a ticket. Information needed to "sell" will be e-mailed as soon as possible. Postcards with online ordering info will be
given to all Scouts at our first troop meeting on September 9. The postcard also promotes $5 off the cost of an adult ticket. Scouts need
to get a parent (or another trusted adult) to purchase a ticket using their "code". That first sale will be accompanied by the Scout's free
ticket. Parents who buy tickets may either camp with us or meet us for the day on Saturday. Scouts need not wait for the postcards to
"sell" tickets. Scouts should "sell" as many tickets as possible using their code, as the more they sell the more prices and incentives they'll
be eligible for (preferred seating, meet/greet with Jeff Gordon, etc.). Scouts' sales will be counted towards incentives through 9/17.
Patrols will be responsible for Saturday breakfast and dinner and Sunday breakfast. Scouts will receive a free hot dog and beverage for
being in uniform at the race, but should also bring spending $ for additional snacks.
