Requirements

Qualified participants are all four:

  1. Your Troop's Senior Patrol Leader or a Scout with other Troop leadership experience and the skills and abilities to be Senior Patrol Leader in the future.
  2. At least 14 years old by September 1, 2010.
  3. Star Scout (First Class Scouts will be accepted if they have the physical and emotional maturity to benefit fully from the experience).
  4. Actively supported by their Scoutmaster. A signed recommendation is required.

Troops may nominate one boy leader for every thirty (30) Scouts, or portion thereof, registered in the Troop. They can also nominate alternates who will be accepted for the course if space is available after March 26, 2010. Troops need to name the boy leader(s) who will attend at the time a nomination is made.

An equipment list will be sent to each participant. He should bring the same clothing and equipment he would take to summer camp, together with a completed medical form from a current physical exam. Each Scout will represent his home Troop and will wear its insignia. Full uniforms are needed.

The cost for the conference is $175.00 per Scout, which includes all food and training materials. If fees are not paid in full by April 2, 2010 the fee is $200.00. Troops are encouraged to pay at least part of the fee from their budgets.

A pre-course meeting will be held on March 27, 2010 for Scouts, parents, and the Scout's Scoutmaster. We will review course expectations, equipment needed, the Scoutmaster's role, and answer any questions. Final payments may be made at the meeting.
