prerequisites completed. Merit badges will not be given out but must come from the Scouts own unit.
Unit Leaders. Each registered unit must keep a qualified leader at the event until all members of the unit have
departed. For the safety of our youth and the protection of the facility, leaders will be asked to assist with
event monitoring in hallways, parking lot, and the perimeter of buildings.
Food is not included in the cost of registration. There will be a concession stand at the activity with a variety
of food and beverages for a cost. If this is not practical for your scout it is recommended that you bring a bag
