Attached is the permission slip for the December Contraband Lock-in. Our TWO NIGHT camp-in will be at the Ohio School for the Deaf – 500 Morse Rd; Columbus 43214. This is NOT the same place we normally hold the swim test, but it’s close. The entrance is off Morse Rd. HUGE thank you to Mr. Wells for arranging this amazing space for us! As a thank you, part of our camping fee will include a small donation to the school.
Still plan on meeting at the church at 6:15 Friday night. The facility is gated and we’ve been asked to all arrive at the same time. We will return to the church between 11:00a and 12:00p on Sunday
Contraband is our annual campout where we relax some of the rules and let the Scouts have fun! Electronics are allowed and encouraged! Please eat dinner before you come. Evening snacks and the weekend meals will be provided and cooked for the Scouts by the adults.
We encourage Scouts and families to bring TVs and game consoles to share with others. Only Scout appropriate games are approved, which are those that are rated E. Other games by approval. For example, Grand Theft Auto is not a Scout appropriate game If you have to ask if a game is appropriate, chances are it’s not.
Scouts are also welcome to bring other games such as board games, card games, or other activities appropriate for indoor use.
Tips for Success
- The event will only be as fun as what you make it. That means we rely on YOU to bring games for the event
- Label your items clearly (even cords)
- Bring your electronics fully charged
- Consoles and computers work best if you apply the latest software and firmware updates prior to arriving (i.e. don’t assume a system you used 2 years ago is still up to date)
- Bring surge protectors and network cables if your device can use them
- All games will be local mode – no outside internet / wifi available
- If you have a question on whether a game is allowed or not, please ask us ahead of time
- You can bring more than video games
- RC Cars
- Board games
- Card games
