1. Staff Leader Guide

2. To the Amazing Staff Leaders and Junior Staff
of Coastal Georgia Council
I personally would like to thank each and every one of you who have stepped up to help make the Haunted Trail the Council’s biggest Cub Scout Event!!! I know it is a lot of work and it could not be done without our amazing volunteers. This year we hope to make it even better by giving the staff a guide to help answer some of the questions you may have. There will be some changes from last year so please read and give all the information to your volunteers.

Meals
We are asking each volunteer to pay $5.00 to cover the cost of their food for the weekend.
If you have any food allergies, please contact the office or the Event Director so that we can be prepared for that. You will be issued a food band at the time of check-in for your meals.
There will be 3 meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. If you are still in camp at lunch time on Sunday we will have leftovers for lunch.
Staff Check In and Camping
Because of the amount of participants checking in on Friday night, if staff can arrive before check in that would be ideal.
Staff will be required to check in at the maintenance building. Please come in at the Rangers house. You will be assigned your campsite and receive the food bands. Staff will be camping in program areas and other areas to free up the campsites for the participants.
Please unload your camping gear and move your vehicle to the large parking lot behind the Admin. Building, then return to set up your tent.

4. Day Time Activities Holi Gorsuch Director 912-977-0338 (text)
A Leader needs to be in the activities area at all times while the troop and or crew are working.
If your troop or crew are also working in one of the night time activities, please let me know. If they need to leave the activities area early to put on costumes or set up, a replacement needs to be available. We cannot shut down the areas early or have them unmanned. It is unfair to the participants.
Activity items need to be check out and back in with me.
You are responsible for the items you check out and the set up and take down of your activity.
Younger Scouts MUST be paired with an older scout.
Most of all have fun!!!! If you are having fun, then so with the cubbies.
If you have any questions or issues please find me – I am always around.
Thank You,
Holi Gorsuch
Haunted Trail
Robert Fox Director
Ensure a Troop Leader stays with the Troop at all times while working on the trail
Make sure each Troop has replacements at scenes for breaks during the event.
Before leaving the Haunted Trail, after setting up your scene, and after take down, get with the Area Director to ensure no other help is needed.
Leave scenes that do not belong to you alone.
Do not leave event until Area Director shuts down the Trail.
No excessive strobe lights.
No excessive gore on the less scary side of the Trail.
If you have any questions or issues please find me – I am always around.
Thank You,
Robert Fox
