Medical Consent informationEach participating youth and adult must have a completed Medical Consent form even if the parent is inattendance. These forms ensure that prompt medical attention may be given in case of need. These forms

along with the others required, will be presented at check-in by the team captain.

Preparing your TeamThere are several things that you can do as a team to prepare for this grand event. Those teams that comeprepared tend to have the greatest success and the most fun. Here are some of the ways that teams canprepare ahead of time:

Team Leader Training This will allow your Team Captain and other team leaders to be ready to takefull responsibility of leadership during the rendezvous. This is key to your teams success.

Study the Mountain Man or your other choice of Regalia This can be done by inviting amountain man (or other) to your team meetings to show and discuss their stuff. Or perhaps you may want

to visit a clan, do some reading, use the Frontiersman pamphlet or by any other means begin to understandwhat the mountain man was, how they dressed, and what they used in their day to day life.

Make Regalia Work as a team to make shirts, pants, moccasins, canteens, possible bags, medicinepouches, powder horns, knives, sheaths, scabbards, hawks, beads, stools or other mountain man gear. Theregalia will give the team an opportunity to look sharp at the rendezvous. Although it is not necessary thatpatterns and colors of the regalia match, for the purpose of using the regalia as a uniform, it is necessarythat all boys in a unit have the same items shirts, pants, capotes, and hats. Any "Early American" periodclothing counts as regalia, such as capotes, drop sleeve shirts, frontier shirts, etc. can help to add to theexperience and provide activities for the months prior to the rendezvous. Patterns are available in the"Frontiersman" Varsity activity book and in the resources rendezvous booklet. Regalia is the uniformfor this activity. Points given for regalia are more heavily weighted as it represents yourpreparation for the rendezvous.

There will be a uniform (regalia) inspection station setup in the headquarters (primitive camp) area andteam regalia photos will be taken there and throughout the activities of the Rendezvous. Each team isencouraged to present themselves at headquarters during the rendezvous activity time and have theiruniforms or regalia scored. This activity will replace the uniform inspection process previously done by theteam captains at flag ceremony. A portion of the points awarded for the Rendezvous activities will comefrom the regalia inspection. The inspection will look for head gear, outer ware, shirt, pant, foot ware and upto five accoutrements. A quality/effort factor will be applied to the teams score.

Make Trading Items Work as a team or in small groups to make mountain man items for the tradingblanket. This will allow your team members to trade for other items that you may not have had time tomake. Figure out what you are good at making and make several of them to trade. The higher the quality,

the more value it has on the trading blanket.

Build Teamwork Work together to build teamwork within your team. Your success in the BooshwayBolt and many other rendezvous activities rely heavily on teamwork. Use C.O.P.E. exercises in your teamprogram to accomplish this. TIP: Teamwork is highly valued at this event and will be taken intoconsideration when you are scored at each event.

Build a Service Attitude Instilling a general attitude of service and excellence in your team will helpthem to succeed. Look for opportunities at the rendezvous to go above and beyond what is expected. Planto spend some time with the Order of the Arrow on our camp service projects. Service is stronglyencouraged.

Arrival and SetupTerritorial Rendezvous Rules Boys or adults riding on bumpers, tailgates, hoods, fenders or trailers will NOT BE TOLERATED. This is a

strict violation of BSA policy. This should not occur on any scout outing and the HQ staff may becomeparticularly cantankerous if it occurs on this outing and may ask you and your team to leave therendezvous. Rendezvous regalia should be worn during this activity and worn appropriately. A threetimesthree notification will designate an emergency. Assemble at your campsite and send buddyrunners (2) to HQ for information or instructions. Each unit is required to have a properly stocked first aid kit and plan on treating minor injuries. Medicalstaff and facilities will be identified at the rendezvous site for any major problems encountered.

The Team captains and adult leaders are responsible for seeing these rules arefollowed. The designated clean-up time is Saturday morning before and after your Teams participation ofthe Booshway Bolt. Your Unit Commissioner will check your campsite prior to your unit leaving or assignsomeone to inspect it before you leave. Please leave the campsites looking better than we found them.

Check-OutWhen a team is ready for site inspection they should contact their Unit Commissioner or Campsitedirector/Assistant Unit Commissioner (who should be in the campsite) and have them check the site forthe team.
