Sleeping with the Sharks Update

Hey everyone,

I finally have the answers to many of your questions.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will allow siblings to participate at our event. Due to the fact that it is a private event any child 6 and older can participate. The child must turn 6 years old before April 1st. Also any non registered scout (meaning siblings) will not be covered under BSA insurance and will need to sign the liability waver like everyone else for Six Flags. I just want everyone to understand that Pack 494 and BSA will not be liable if any unforeseen event occurs.

The cost is $100.00 per person. A minimum of 30 people is required to attend and the maximum is 80 for a private event. Any or all parents, grandparents may attend as well. There is no discount for those people who do not attend Sharks in the Dark, but would like to attend the park on Saturday. Tickets right know are very inexpensive and we will also be going on their off season so that helps as well.

If your scout earned it during popcorn, his spot is not confirmed until an adult is paid for. Your scout needed to sell $900 to qualify. If you are unsure if your child qualified please contact [Name removed] your den leader. Scouts who earned the trip have until the Sunday before the March Pack meeting to pay and have priority. After that time is  a first come first paid event. The final day to pay for the event will be at the March Pack meeting. Den Leaders please forward this info on to your parents.

After you have paid you will be given a packet of paper to fill out for every attendee and it needs to be turned in before April 1st. If you do not have your paper work turned in by April 1st you will not be able to attend – NO EXCEPTIONS! THERE ARE NO REFUNDS!!

If you have any questions please call me on my cell ([number removed]) and leave a message if I do not answer If you have any questions you can use the contact form on this website. [Name removed] The Cubmaster’s Wife will not have any answers for you and I will not return any calls or any questions asked through her.

Thank you,
