Here are some additional details for those who are interested in volunteering and merit badge classes:
Each person needs to register on the event website.
The team name is Troop 531 as a participant.
There is an option to buy an event T-shirt and I believe the cost is $25
You can also make an optional donation to Carry the Load if you’d like to do so
Per Mike, once you have completed the registration process it is possible to sign up for Merit Badges (more info below).

There are service duties throughout, but we’ll cover some of that discussion Tuesday night. Most of the time service duty is light for most boys, so they’ll enjoy the impactful Carry the Load scene. There’s lots for the boys to see and do.
I would still have the boys bring every money as there are vendors and there’s a merchandise tent for Carry the Load stuff, if they want it
Updated information from original email announcement:
We have also included the presentation deck from last night’s leader’s meeting. Pease feel free to contact Mike Howes for additional details or questions.
