| Helpful tips for FIRST TIMERS on how to make your Samboree experience the best it can be. We hope it covers all the BASES! GENERAL INFORMATION Arrive with water and propane tanks full but with your waste tanks empty. Dump stations will be available upon departure. Bring an extra electric cord (10 gauge). You will be parked as close to electric as possible. Since electric supply is limited, do not use electrical appliances that draw large amounts of electricity; i.e. heaters, air conditioners, microwave, etc. Set the refrigerator and water heater on propane to help prevent a blackout. If you arrive after dark, you will be placed in a holding area, then parked in your permanent site the next morning. If you need to move after you have been parked, you must be assisted by a member of the Parking Crew or Wagon Master (you met them on the way in). Handicapped parking is available upon request with a valid Handicapped Number. You will not be able to park with your Chapter if Handicapped parking is needed. Do not block fire or emergency lanes with tow vehicles. There is no smoking in the main hall or near the entrances and/or exits. Pets are always welcome at the Samboree but please pick up after them and keep them leashed at all times. Service Dogs are the only animals permitted in any buildings. IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY If calling 911 from a cell phone, you may not reach the LOCAL 911 Remember to state your location (found in the program) the campground name and the county you are in If at night, turn on rig or tow vehicle lights and blow horn Contact a member of the staff wearing orange shirts You may reach State Director Bob Ward anytime at cellphone (352)585-3677, or Emergency Response Team (352)428-4165 RALLY INFORMATION We hope the Florida Samboree will be filled with fun activities, interesting dealers and vendors, and informative seminars Because many events and activities will be happening at the same time, please check your program to plan your day and determine what you will be participating in We hope there is something for everyone to enjoy on the program. The Florida Good Sam Staff works very hard to put on the Samboree so please make sure you let them know you are having a good time Staff members will be wearing an orange shirt each day with STAFF on the back. During evening programs, staff members will be in a white shirt and orange vest. We look forward to meeting you. Chapters also volunteer to make the Samboree a success.
