Bus Hubs
Every group has a bus hub… here are the details!
Hub And Bus Assignments
Every Colony is assigned to a particular bus hub, and bus! To make it easier, we’ve given every bus a Friends of the Forest name to look for at the pickup (if you don’t have a helper at the pickup point), or for departure. We had to go into the “extra” names for all the buses…

Hubs
Bussing Hubs
All Colonies will be provided transportation to our Beaver 50th celebration – what better way to start the day than to have fun singing songs and making fun on the way!
You must arrive at your bussing hub together; parents are only permitted to drop off their youth with their Colony’s Scouters, not other Colonies.
There will be no late arrivals permitted; buses will depart on time. Those who miss the bus will not attend the event.
