Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed service fraternity founded in 1925 on the principles of Scouting. Keeping with our Scouting heritage and spirit of service, the chapter hosts youth achievement days every year. Last year, our chapter served over 700 youth from the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in two separate events. This year, we hope to continue these traditions. At each of our workshops, scouts may complete as many requirements for their badge of choice as possible during the allotted time, while still giving each requirement the time it deserves.

The event will take place at Schaeffer Hall here on the campus of UIowa. The address is 20 East Washington Street, Iowa City, IA. The schedule is as follows:

8:30AM-9:00AM Sign In

9:00AM-12:00PM AM Class Session/First Half of All-Day Classes

12:00PM-1:00PM Lunch Break*

1:00PM-4:00PM PM Class Session/Second Half of All-Day Classes

*Lunch will not be provided to participants. Please plan accordingly. Additionally, there is to be no food or drink aside from water inside Schaeffer Hall, or any other school buildings.

Please remember that this is a Boy Scout event and we ask that each troop provide 2 adults to follow Youth Protection Guidelines.

 In order to sign up for our event, you first need to sign in. In the upper right corner of the page there is the option to register new users. If you are new to the website you must sign up as a troop leader in order to register your scouts.
