- If this is your first VG as a Leader, then come up to Admin and say hello and we will let you know what you can do and where everything is. Make sure you visit the Leader Frat tent and here you can mix with other leaders in an informal way. Free tea & coffee is available for you in the Leaders' Frat Tent. This is your area, with some activities especially for you! So come and relax with the other Leaders.
- All Units will have a Leader with them - so you'll only have your own lot to contend with (this year)!
- If you are unable to attend the weekend, and you intend your Unit to be hosted by another Unit, then you will need to fill in the Unit Hosting form. If you want your Venturers in the Creche, then there is an extra $5.00 fee per Venturer that is to be paid in addition to the application fee.
