Gamehaven Furlough

Hello Scout Families, leaders and volunteers,

For the past three weeks we have been sending emails to our Scout families and volunteers preparing you all for the Furlough we are taking. Furlough is starting Monday, June 29th for the entire Gamehaven Staff. We are expected to be back in the office on Monday, August 3rd. Until that time we have put together information for contacting volunteers who have committed to taking care of certain things while we are out. However, there will be things that will have to wait until we get back to the office. When we do get back we will be working quickly to get things set up for another Scouting season.

Thank you

Gamehaven Staff
