	Anne Arundel Group Outings All outings begin at the trailhead. In the interests of conservation and convenience, the Sierra Club does encourage carpooling to outings from the meeting place. However, the carpool is not part of the actual outing and the Sierra Club assumes no liability for it. Participants assume the risks associated with this travel. A modest driver reimbursement, if any, can be arranged between the driver and passengers. Sierra Club Outings are open to all members and non-members. Reservations are not necessary on all outings unless so stated. In order to participate on one of the Sierra Club's outings, you will need to sign a liability waiver. If you would like to read a copy of the waiver prior to the outing, please call 415-977-5630 or see www.sierraclub.org/outings/chapter/forms/ Unless specifically noted in the trip listing, pets are not permitted on Sierra Club outings. May and June 2012 There are no group outings scheduled for May and Junel 2012. Outings Leaders are Needed! The Sierra Club is currently seeking members who enjoy the outdoors and would like to become Sierra Club Outings Leaders. There are two basic requirements. First, leaders must complete the Outdoor Leaders Training 101 (which is available online); and second, have completed a basic first aid course withing the past four years. The Anne Arundel Group, with prior approval, will reimburse leaders for their first aid training. For those who wish to become a Sierra Club Outings Leader, the best way to obtain Outings Leader training is during a face-to-face training session. However, for those who cannot attend face-to-face training, the Sierra Club volunteers and staff have created an Outings Leader 101 Telecourse, being offered in June. Information is available on the Sierra Club “Clubhouse” website. Pre-registration is required prior to June 1. National will send you a “homework” package. The telecourse will consist of two 90-minute conference calls on Thursday, June 16, and June 23, each at 8:00 pm. If you aren’t able to register for the telecourse, the next face-to-face Outing Leader 101 training is tentatively planned for our Chapter Jamboree in October. This year the semi-annual Jamboree will be held at Camp Round Meadow in Catoctin National Park on the weekend of September 30, October 1 and 2, (Friday evening thru Sunday.) More information will become available as Jamboree planning progresses. If interested, please contact the Outings Committee Chair - Mr. Jan C. Hoffmaster at (410) 384-7344 or jhoff2370@verizon.net .
