EEE Connecticut Rivers Council Update
The Risk Management committee in conjunction with the Connecticut Department of Public Health have now deemed the danger of overnight camping to be too high because of the risk of the mosquito-borne illness EEE and its levels found in Connecticut.
With no hard frost in the forecast and with the continued dialogue with State agencies, the decision has been made to only conduct Council and District events from dawn to dusk until the risk is cleared.
Please note this decision was made for the safety of all Scouts and Scouters taking part in these events.
Below are the events in which this ruling effects in the immediate:
Webelos Woods at Workcoeman 9/20-9/22 * Now Saturday only
Ordeal Weekend at Webster 9/20-/9/22 * Canceled
East of the River Camporee 9/27-29th *Canceled
No overnight Camping at our properties
All units and individuals will be refunded for those registered to these events that got canceled or could not make it do to the changes.
Thank you for your understanding and joining us in our commitment to keep our Scouting family safe.
Yours in Scouting,
Connecticut Rivers Council, BSA
