No younger boys are to attend and no older boys may participate.

On-time Registration Advantages
In order to better plan for the needs of this event and to encourage early preparation for the outpost activities, several incentives have been established for those teams with on-time paid registration. Required adult leaders (1 for every 5 boys with a minimum of two) will have a lower price than boys and additional leaders. The price schedule follows:
Leadership Requirements
Each participating Varsity Scout Team should also have an appointed Team Captain (youth leader) who will be responsible for leading and coordinating all of his team’s efforts. Information will be furnished to the Team Captains throughout the rendezvous for relaying to their teams. Adult leaders will be required to stand back and allow the Team Captain to carry out his duties and to run the Team, both at registration as well as during the activities. The Rendezvous staff will be available to answer questions at any time for Team Captains.
To encourage proper supervision units will be invoiced at the 1:5 leader to boy ratio. If you register 20 boys there should be 4 leaders registered as well. The first two are included so two additional leaders will be invoiced at $10 each whether that is indicated on your registration or not.
Paperwork Requirements

Tour Permits
A tour permit is required for this event. Tour permits should be filled with the Grand Canyon Council no later than two weeks prior to the start of the Mountain Man Rendezvous. Tour permits can be hand delivered, mailed, e-mailed, or faxed.<br>
Physical Forms
This is a High Adventure activity and Coaches are required to have "evidence of fitness assured by a complete health history from physician and parent, or legal guardian" for every boy and leader. Use the Medical Record Class 3 form (more info) for all youth and adults. Also, as a reminder, this form is good for one year only. The Team Captain will present a completed form for each youth and adult participant at check-in or ones that will be still valid as of the Rendezvous may be turned in at registration to speed up the registration process.
Medical Consent Forms
Each participating youth and adult must have a completed Medical Consent form even if the parent is in attendance. These forms insure that prompt medical attention may be given in case of need. These forms along with the others required, will be presented at check-in or may be included at the time of registration to speed up the registration process.
