Copy of airport instructions

July 23rd be at the Medford Airport at 4 am. Check in with a leader. One of us will be stationed on the right (West) side of the check-in area until we go through security ourselves. We have been advised by the airport this early time is needed to allow time for our group to check-in before our 6:00/6:10 flights.

Wear your scout uniform, including troop hat, troop jacket, scout shirt, troop neckerchief, scout pants, scout belt, scout socks, and comfortable walking shoes.

LABEL EVERYTHING.
Bring with you to the airport the following:
1 extra scout shirt
1 extra scout pants
2 class B shirts
3 pair socks
1 wrist watch
sleep wear
3 underwear
hygiene kit
camera
travel games, small electronic/MP-3, a good book
cell phone
24+ oz capacity water containers- fill from the drinking fountain after you're past security
lunch or plan to buy on the flight
1st aid kit
small flashlight
non-perishable emergency snacks
photo ID (recommended. Government issue photo-ID is mandatory if age 18)
In the past scouts have found good reason to spend up to $200 on souvenirs, snacks, etc
1 carry-on sized bag or back-pack in which to fit all this

NO knives or other sharp objects, liquids except less than 3 oz within a quart zip-lock bag, aerosols, gel shoe inserts, snow globes, or sabers: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

Eat breakfast on the way to or at the airport. Do your best to sleep well the night before. We will hit the ground in Philadelphia running that evening.

The council does not have accommodations for the night before. We understand some will be traveling from long distances. If there is interest in coordinating hosting of out-of-town participants, please call me or Denise.
