Welcome to Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills Training, to be held at Camp Chesebrough in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We have a great staff and look forward to
helping you to learn about Scouting outings. Check-in is from 6:30 – 7 PM on Friday, 3/8/2019. Please make every effort to be on time. We expect to finish up about 3:00
PM on Sunday, 3/10/2019.
Please bring a completed BSA Annual Health and Medical Record – Parts A, and B, # 680-001, 2014 Printing.

Please wear your Scout uniform, and bring rain gear and layers, as the weather may change rapidly in the Santa Cruz mountains (and it’s never the same as in the valley).
Please bring a mug and/or water bottle, Boy Scout Handbook and pen & paper. Please eat dinner before you arrive, or bring a “no-prep” meal with you. We will provide
the ingredients, and you will prepare all your meals for Saturday and Sunday.
Location
The satellite picture (https://goo.gl/maps/Q5SVBjR6Prw) shows Sempervirens Point, a scenic overlook with parking and a restroom. The entrance to Camp Chesebrough is
directly opposite this parking lot, on the north side of Hwy. 9. It will be a very sharp (greater than 90 degrees) right turn for most of you traveling from the Santa Clara
Valley. Slow down, and give following traffic plenty of notice. Please drive slowly and cautiously on the camp road. Please park facing out.

Note: Do not rely on a street address in a GPS to get you there. (GPS units approximate addresses and can be miles off where cross streets are few and far between.)
Other
The Patrols (this means you) will be putting on a Campfire on Saturday. Bring some ideas/skits/songs/stories/run-ons, etc. to aid the process. Please let us know if you have
any physical limitations, special dietary or medical needs so we can Be Prepared before the course begins.
Emergency contact number at Camp Chesebrough: (408) 868-9278. (Note: this phone is not staffed full time. If it’s really an emergency, keep trying.) It’s gonna be a
great couple of weekends. We hope you have fun and learn from your fellow participants, as well as from us.
Yours in Scouting,
Neal Osborn,
Course Director
