*** NOTICE: Snowpalooza 1, Ski Trip 0. The complete Ski Trip has been canceled due to the recent blizzard. Friday, the Governor of Maryland declared a state of emergency and requested citizens to avoid non-essential driving until the snow end on Saturday evening. As of Saturday evening, authorities are still requesting that citizens avoid non-essential driving. Also some drivers involved in transporting Scouts to this event are unable to venture out of their neighborhoods due to unplowed streets. ***
