EFFECTIVE SEPT 1 ALL ADULTS ATTENDING OVERNIGHT EVENTS/ACTIVITIES OF OVER 72 HOURS MUST BE IN A FEE PAID ADULT LEADER POSITION. 

Many units do activities that span over 72 hours such as the Gettysburg Historic Trails program that may take a long holiday weekend. This will mean that parents that wish to accompany the group must now cough up a fee paid registration. 

My sons unit had a dad n lad Gettysburg trip from Friday to Monday on the Memorial Day weekend or once the school term ended. Great event but now all those parents (these days moms n daughters too) will find it considerably more costly and some units may forgo this type of great program event the encourages retention and new membership.
