Sierra Expedition - YMCA Adventure Guides

Circle Assignments

Here are the specific circle assignments for the 2008 Jones Gulch campout. See the notes below for more information on what is required to accomplish this task.
All Circles need to have 2 volunteers: 1 Sous Chef and 1 Cleanup Dad. Sous Chefs need to report to Sierra Nation Chef Steve Weinstein at the dinner site promptly at 4:30pm (1 hr before dinnertime). We need the Cleanup Dads to report to Chef Steve when they finish dinner and need them to work until done (about 30-45 minutes).

Each Sous Chef needs to bring his own carving knife, carving fork, cutting board, big pasta pot (we will also use one for beans), a flashlight, and a lantern (we need to light the dining area).
