1 Old Colony District - Scout College 2017 Upper Pittsgrove Twp. School Saturday February 11 & February 25, :30 AM-3:00 PM The Old Colony District, under the Garden State Boy Scout Council, is proudly offering the annual Scout College program to our scouts and leaders. Several new merit badges are being introduced this year which scouts can pick from as well as the old favorites. Not all programs will earn merit badges, for example Den Chief Training, but all programs will provide information to enhance the scouting experience in both scouts and adults. We suggest all units who have Life scouts to encourage their scouts to take the Eagle Packet Planning to help them on their journey of earning the Eagle rank as they begin to plan their Eagle Project. For the adults, we will be offering Life to Eagle Training for Leaders, Eagle Mentors and Committee Chair to give you a better understanding of the entire process so you will be more prepared to help and guide the scouts along the way. These classes are very informational to both scouts and leaders, but they tend to fill up quickly. Please take the time to read about the requirements, which period the classes will be offered and the registration information. Scout Program Age and/or rank requirements are in place for some merit badges along with some prerequisites that should be done prior to class, which you will find in the columns labeled pre-requisites and comments on the 2017 Merit Badge list. Like an actual college, class size is limited and some classes are only offered certain times during the day. If a class has very limited request for participation, it may be cancelled without notice. All scouts must pre-register and will have the opportunity to attend three classes. All blue cards with the Unit Leader signatures are required and must be filled out neatly and legibly for each merit badge prior to the first Saturday to fulfill the badge requirements. Counselors will collect them at the beginning of each class, if they are not signed by the Unit Leader the counselor may ask the scout to leave class to get the blue card signed prior to the scout starting the merit badge. Partial completions are to be expected some factors to consider, time limits on certain badges, for example Personal Fitness is a 90 - day merit badge which cannot be started until scout completes his pre-test at scout college and scouts function at their own individual pace. It is vital to understand that attendance is required but attendance does not mean the merit badge will be completed. Again when reviewing the list of merit badges please take special note of the comment section on the list of each merit badge for the

2 requirements that must be completed prior to the start of the program or a partial will be issued or depending on the merit badge you may not be able to take the class. Leader Programs Leadership programs will be offered again this year and can be found on the web site so all adults can register for classes they wish to take during Scout College, also take special notice on the website which Saturdays the classes will be offered. Eagle Coach/Merit Badge Counselor Training Leaders Specific First Aid and CPR Life to Eagle Presentation Please note, some programs have additional registration fees, for example, CPR is paid on the day of the class to the instructor, but you still must register on-line for the class to secure your spot. While in the registration process be sure to pay your lunch fee of $ Walk-in registration may be accepted for CPR/First Aid if and only if there is room in the class, so we strongly recommend adults to register in advance. First Aid & CPR is provided by an outside agency and is a separate flat fee of $30.00 which covers both classes. (Note even if you take one class you pay the same price of $30.00) Registration and payment information will appear on the website. Additional programs may be added, check the web site for the up to date information. Chaperone Each troop is required to send one adult to assist with chaperone duties during Scout College and must be in attendance for both Saturdays. Please note the assigned Chaperone will not be able to take the classes offered for adults for we will need their assistance monitoring hallways, classrooms etc. during the day. The Chaperone must register on-line during the registration period. Additional adults are welcome to the event but they need to register on-line as well with an additional charge of $15.00/person. Unfortunately, if the maximum capacity is reached, those adults may be notified that no room is available. (This has not occurred in the past but is a possibility) Program Cost and Fees The base cost is $25 per Scout which covers the cost for lunch, insurance and facility rental. Scouts or units must pay online or a unit may approve payment from their Unit account at the Millville Office. We will not accept scout walk in registrations all scouts must be preregistered for all classes they plan on taking and we discourage payment at the door. The one required adult, chaperone, is included in the above fees, each additional adult and any adult signing up for adult training must be added to the registration and a fee of $15.00/person is required to cover the cost of their lunch.

3 Registration On-line registration will open on December 24 th, 2016 at 8 am and continue through the close on January 21 st, 2017 at 12 pm. All units must complete the registration on-line and have an active charter prior to registration. **Please note all charters for year 2017 must be completed, handed into council and paid in full or your troop will not be able to attend the event per the Garden State Boy Scout Council guidelines. ** Keep in mind some classes fill up quicker than others and once they are full the class/classes will be closed and we will not be able to accommodate any more scouts due to safety issues. Once registration closes we will not be able to add scouts or change classes, there will be no exceptions, so please be sure your scouts are comfortable with the merit badges they have selected and it is not one they have already completed. Each unit will control their own registration; a link will be provided to the Unit Leader or designee. We strongly suggest you register as a group rather than registering individually this will prevent confusion and duplicate registrations. If registering individually each person will need to pay by credit card upon completion of the individual registration or their spot will not be guaranteed. If a unit chooses to register as a group, a planning sheet is located at the end of this document. The unit can pay by credit card or pay out of their unit account but they must contact the Millville Office and approve the deduction of the cost from their unit s account. (All payments must be made in full no later than January 21 st 2017 or you may lose your spot and will be opened to the first unit on the waiting list. Only the unit can pay by check and must be received within 15 days of the initial registration or no later than January 21 st 2017 whichever comes first or you will be in jeopardy of losing your spot and again will go to the first unit on the waiting list.) If your unit/or individual registration is accepted, that is the classes scouts have registered for, they should be encouraged to begin working on the merit badge pre-requisites if applicable. Cancellation Policy Unit/Scout Walk-in registrations will not be accepted. There will be no refunds issued for units or a scout who does not attend the event. This also includes but not limited to your charter not being completed and/or up to date after registering, you will be charged the full amount.

Scout Store We will have a representative from the scout store present for both Saturdays, February 11 th and 25 th, giving scouts and leaders, chaperones and parents the opportunity to purchase items. The store will have the Merit Badge books for the Merit Badges which are being offered available for sale, along with other items such as shirts, leader guides, new scout handbooks, etc. Code of Conduct We are visitors to the Upper Pittsgrove School and all scouts are expected to represent themselves in accordance with the Scout Law. Any scout who cannot follow the guidelines of the Scout Law and act accordingly will be directed to their unit leader and he/she will address the situation immediately. If the problem continues to arise, then unfortunately we will have no other option but to remove the scout from the event and may not return for the second session. The most important object in Boy Scout training is to educate, not instruct. Sir Robert Baden-Powell
