2012 Roundup Reunion!! - REGISTER NOW!!!

September 23-28, 2012

Basin Harbor Club, Vermont 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Plan now to “make new friends and keep the old” as we come together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1962 Vermont Roundup  and the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting.  There’s nothing like autumn in Vermont, and we’ll be there as the colors begin to turn.  The Roundup Reunion will take place in Vergennes, Vermont, at the beautiful Basin Harbor Club from September 23-28, 2012.
 

The Basin Harbor Club is located on the shores of Lake Champlain with breathtaking views of the Adirondack Mountains to the west and the Green Mountains to the east.  Button Bay, the site of the 1962 Roundup, is right next door, and it’s there we’ll celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the ’62 Roundup.  During each day, you’ll be able to take part in reunion activities, join a Girl Scout foursome for golf or tennis, hike, bike, tour the beautiful gardens or just relax in Adirondack chairs with a good book or an old friend.  Because of our location on Lake Champlain, activities will also include the chance to kayak, canoe, or take a boat tour of Lake Champlain’s historic underwater treasures.  

   

Plan to arrive at Basin Harbor on Sunday afternoon, Sept 23.  The nearest airport is Burlington, VT.  We will send information about airport shuttles from Burlington to Basin Harbor with your confirmation from us, or you may choose to rent a car.  The Basin Harbor Club has wonderful and unique cottages which can accommodate singles, couples, small groups of new friends, or entire Roundup patrols.  Those wishing to camp in their own RV or tent can do so at nearby Button Bay State Park.   Limited space for RVs is available also at Basin Harbor.  All meals are included in the fee, except for lunch Tuesday, which is an optional tour day.  You’ll want to register early since maximum capacity is 250!  Roundup patrols coming to the reunion together will be housed together whenever possible.  

The reunion will open with a dinner celebration on Sunday evening.  On Monday we will take part in special activities on site, sing, get acquainted, relax, sing, swap stories and memories, and close the day around a campfire with, what else?  Singing!  (Singing was a treasured part of Roundups and has been a truly special part of every reunion, so you can expect lots of singing to fill your reunion days, and campfires to end your nights, weather permitting.)  On Tuesday you’ll have the option of signing up for several tours to special destinations across Vermont.  On Wednesday, we’ll head to Button Bay to celebrate the ’62 Roundup, visit the amphitheater, the huge pine tree that we planted in 1962, and the nature center. On Thursday, reunion activities and reminiscing will fill the day as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in grand style.  The week will also include the ever-popular reunion auction with treasures and treats brought by reunion participants, displays of memorabilia from each Roundup, a Scout’s Own and much more!  All too soon it will be Friday, and we will say good-bye after brunch. 

While the Roundup Reunion Committee is still completing plans for the activities,  we have a financial obligation to Basin Harbor Club and we need your help!  We anticipate that final costs will be approximately $850-$900 per person for the reunion, or $550-$600 for those planning to use the RV/camping option.  While we love you all, this is not an event planned for Girl Scout troops or children, as we are focused on you, on renewing friendships, and on shared memories of our Roundup days.
