Tie-Dying - Adults can tie-dye and are the same price as scouts. Kids are able to bring their own white shirts and tie-dye at the reduced rate of $5, otherwise, it is $15 this year per scout/adult to tie-dye a t-shirt with the Many Point logo on it. We will need to send one or two adults to keep track of who owes money or collect money from those who bring it for the t-shirts and tie-dying. The shirts are sent home in a ziplock bag with washing instructions. The longer they remain in the bag, the more vivid the colors will be.  The Many Point t-shirts come in youth and adult sizes.
