Registration opens to Colonial District Scouts on Monday, Dec. 8. Registration is limited to Colonial District Scouts until Friday, Dec. 19, at which point out of district scouts can register. DO NOT REGISTER BEFORE MONDAY, DEC. 8. We will delete any early registrations so that Scouts will enroll on a first-come, first-served basis.
There are three types of offerings:
1. Half-Day Badges—these badges are offered in the AM (9-Noon) and/or the PM (1-4).
2. All Day Badge—Radio Merit Badge requires both the morning and afternoon session.
3. Lunch-Time Badges—these badges require all work to be done in advance; counselors will be available at lunch time to review the work and sign off.
All courses have enrollment limits to ensure a quality experience for each Scout who participates.
The limits and schedules are listed in the attachment (at the bottom of this page) along with the requirements that Scouts must complete before arriving at the Jamboree.
