The Baden Powell Program is designed to introduce your NEW
SCOUTS to the world of Boy Scouting. The emphasis is on FUN,
TRAINING, SCOUT SPIRIT, and CAMARADERIE! The program will key
heavily on Tenderfoot requirements and touch on 2nd Class and
1st Class requirements. There may be an opportunity to use the
pool as well!
Our team goal is to provide the NEW SCOUTS, an interactive,
hands on, weekend to have fun, along with learning and
earning their way to the first ranks of Scouting. This
program, along with participation at summer camp, is a great
way to get your Scouts to First Class in one year! This
program is popular within this district, and has a great
reputation outside the district (and council), so be sure to
sign your Scouts up early! Participation is capped at 100
Scouts.
New Scouts may complete the minimum requirements for the
program. However, as with all Scouting Skills, it’s
important to practice, to become proficient. Our policy is
not to sign off a Scout’s handbook, since each Troop can
have a different level of expected proficiency in a skill
before signing off an advancement requirement. A print out
of completed requirements will be provided at the end of the
program.
The Senior Scouts and their adult assistants are excited to
provide your new Scouts a sound program with Tons of
Excitement!!!
