The 2025 registration fee is $35 per Scouter
The 2025 Contingent Registration Package
The Contingent Registration spreadsheet must be received on time to guarantee that your contingent has a place on the field. We need this information to file with the Town of Milton. You do not have to submit the individual registration forms at this time, but you will lose your discount if you don't.
We also ask that you register electronically which means please fill in the forms on your computer and email them to the Registrar. It saves a lot of typing and there is less chance of error and/or omissions.
NOTE: Contingent pre-ordered supplies will be held at the lower level of Ridley Lodge (H-Hut). Contingents may pick up their items at the lower level of Ridley Lodge. Please ensure someone collects the items during registration hours.
Friday 1 to 5 pm,
Saturday 8 to 9:30 am;11 am to 2:30pm
Large groups should send more than one representative (with a little wagon/trolley/dolly) to collect their goods.
