Mountain Man Rendezevous

WHEN: December 28th - 30th

WHAT: http://lhcmountainman.org/ready.php

Come experience an adventure like no other ~ register for the 2017 Longhorn Council Mountain Man Rendezvous (MMR).  Registration is live. Participants must be age 14 or older as this is considered a high adventure activity and we must adhere to the BSA age guidelines for high adventure. Click HERE to register.  **Please note that if your Scout plans to attend the Merit Badge Mania, there IS a direct schedule conflict with the knife workshop dates and the MBM as well as the Highland Games (our November campout).

COST:  $45 per participant (due by November 20), plus food because no meals are provided though we will eat as a group. You're responsible for making your own outfit (regalia, see below). We will also be making our own MM sheath knives (additional cost of approximately $15).

REGALIA 
It’s time to work on your regalia! A great resource for regalia ideas is HERE. Thrift stores are a great place to find treasures. A leather skirt can become several possibles bags or part of a leather vest or jacket. Wool blankets become capotes. Old pairs of khaki pants become regalia pants. Old leather boots…etc You never know what you’ll find, you just need to be able to envision it as something new for your regalia.

Interested?  We thought you would be!  Email ASM Heath Abernathy right away!
