TROOPS:

¨      Please bring your troop Medical Form records (minimum of a Medical Record Part A + Consent to Treat for each scout) to the event. These should be kept with a Troop Adult and make all of your adults aware of where they are, so if a medical situation arises involving one of your scouts, the forms are available.  

¨      Each troop should provide SIGNED Merit Badge cards for each Scout in your troop.  PLEASE NOTE:  One of the biggest comments from MB instructors is the lack of maturity for young scouts taking Eagle-Required Merit Badges.  A unit leader should consider talking to scouts about the concept of “challenge by choice” prior to signing a MB card for young scouts. 

¨      Each troop must provide have at least 1 adult per 6 scouts and please arrive by 7:20 am.  Adults need to stay for the duration of the event to support the event as class helpers/monitors, crowd control, drivers, etc.  If you there is a specific merit badge any of your adults would like to monitor, please let us know.  We need sufficient adult coverage at this event. 

¨      Drivers may be needed for specific MB classes.  Please notify kim@icenhower if your troop can provide drivers.
