Join Us for the Day!
On January 14th, 2006, from 9:00AM through 3:00PM at the church hall of Smith Mills Christian Congregational in Dartmouth we will be holding our second annual Camp Cachalot Alumni Association Gathering and Memorabilia Expo! We've mixed things up a little bit this year, so in addition to having Cachalot memorabilia on hand, we've also invited Scouting memorabilia traders and dealers in for a full-fledged Trade-o-Ree! You can purchase tickets either just to visit the exhibits and Trade-o-Ree, or tickets that include a hot and cold lunch buffet menu. Be sure to join us for a little post-holidays cheer!
On tap for the day we will have:
- Displays of Camp Cachalot and related Scouting memorabilia
- Slide and movie presentations of Camp-related photos, dating back to the 1940's
- Memorabilia collectors and traders from throughout the Northeast (and beyond!)
- A short gathering of the Alumni in attendance, to keep you up-to-date on the Association's goings-on
Alumni-specific activity begins with lunch at noon.

Details
Tickets come in two varieties.
Tickets that include admission plus a hot and cold lunch buffet are $10 per person for members of the Alumni Association, or $15 per person for non-members. If you sign up for membership at the same time as purchasing tickets, tickets will be $5. These tickets must be purchased before January 11th, so we can make appropriate arrangements for food. Those with Family or Lifetime Association memberships pay the member rate for all members of their household. Signing up for those memberships entitles you to the discounted $5 rate for all household members as well.
"Admission only" tickets are $5 per person, and are available up to and including the day of the event.
Youth Scouts (under 18) who attend in uniform, and children under Scouting age, will be admitted free of charge.
Tickets will be available online, through the Narragansett Council Office and through the Council Scout shops. You may also reserve tickets through the mail (we'll hold them at the door for you) by sending a check for the cost of the tickets to:
Camp Cachalot Alumni Association 2006 Show
c/o Narragansett Council, BSA
P. O. Box 14777
Providence, RI 02914
Checks should be made payable to "Narragansett Council BSA" with a memo of "Camp Cachalot Alumni Association."
Bring Your Own Memories
Have memorabilia of your own you'd like to show off? Bring it along! We'd love to see it! If you have a lot of material to bring along, please drop us an email at expo2006@cachalotalumni.org and we'll try to set aside some space for you to set it up for viewing.
We are especially interested in any old photos of Camp that you might have. If you have pictures, feel free to bring them with you – we plan to have a computer scanning station set up and staffed by a member of our History committee to scan in prints and slides. Our ability to scan things in will be limited by the time we have available, so if you are able to scan things in yourself, feel free to bring them along in electronic form (CD- or DVD- recordable, USB or Firewire drive – contact curator@cachalotalumni.org if you have any questions about the formats we can cope with.) The higher the resolution, the better.
We look forward to seeing you (again)!
