Eagle Quest Schedule
Eagle Quest offers opportunities to
help young Scouts complete their Tenderfoot, Second Class, and
First Class ranks.
The schedules, designed around the
more difficult requirements, allow the Scouts to select
requirements they need to finish the rank they are currently
working towards. The requirements not offered need to be completed
within the Troop. Many of the Scouts participating in the Eagle
Quest program will need the guidance of their Leaders to remind
them of their schedule and of any necessary items they might need.
The Eagle Quest schedule runs all
day long to make it possible for Scout to advance a full rank
during their stay at camp. If a Scout only needs help on a few
requirements, they should sign up for merit badges and come to
Eagle Quest during open instruction. Open instruction is a good
way to make up missed requirements or to complete new ones.
However, it is not a replacement for attendance at Eagle Quest.
Some requirements like the cooking, the 5-mile hike, the 1-mile
compass course, etc. cannot be completed during open instruction.
Most requirements need a day of instruction and another for
evaluation; therefore Scouts should not wait until Friday to start
requirements.
How to Sign-up
- Register Scouts online using the
procedures found on page 14. If they will be working on multiple
ranks sign them up for each rank they will be working on. Be
sure to sign them up separetly for cooking if your Scouts will
be cooking in the area for that rank.
- For those without computer
access, sign-up sheets can be mailed to you. Turn in the sheet(s)
Sunday night at the Adult Leaders Meeting.
Special Notes of Attention
- Requirements start on time in
order for the schedule to flow smoothly.
- Certain requirements will
require the Scouts dress for the activity. Swimsuit, towel, and
shoes are needed for all swimming requirements. Long pants are
recommended for hikes. If your Scout is not properly dressed we
cannot hold up the class while they go back to their campsite to
change.
- Certain requirements meet at
other locations besides Eagle Quest. These locations are noted
on the schedule. Please have your Scouts arrive on time and
prepared.
- Requirement 1b (finding
direction at night) of First Class will take place on Tuesday
evening at 10:00 pm and Scouts are asked to meet at the Activity
Field. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the staff will
re-schedule this requirement and make an announcement about the
change.
Other Advancements
- Totin’ Chip is offered Monday &
Thursday at 3:30 PM (only need to attend one of these).
- Firem’n Chit is offered Tuesday
