[Sca-cooks] teaching at pennsic

[Olwen the Odd]

Better go read the pennsic teachers site.  This year no one has to go lead 
the people to the class, but a detailed map has to be submitted at least two 
days before the class.  And the doing class in camp thing is also affected 
by that open door policy for classes.  It is suggested that one really 
consider the amount of space available in camp before doing it this way.  In 
our camp it probably wouldn't make a problem.  I have seen some camps that 
are not set up to hold a large class in any weather.
