Conservation Weekend @ Woodruff (Optional)

Woodruff

Woodruff is hosting Conservation Weekend from November 13 - 15. There will be 19 merit badges offered, conservation projects (counts for service hours!) and other training offered. Note that this is on a per Scout / per Family level. We aren't sending an official Troop 7153 group, but if you are interested in going and register with the link below, please RSVP on TroopTrack so that the ones going can coordinate. https://www.scoutingatl.org/content/136775/Conservation-Weekend Age Restrictions All Scouts BSA registered Scouts are eligible to attend Conservation Weekend. We recommend that Scouts not attending with their troop be at least 13 years of age. Some merit badges offered have age restrictions. Any Scouts under 13 must bring an adult (either an adult leader or parent) with them to Conservation Weekend. All adults must register as either an adult participant or as staff. All adults must be currently registered members of the BSA with Youth Protection training and show current certification upon request during the weekend. Note: BSA is moving away from Tentaroo for signing up for events, so you will need to create a new account on Black Pug to register. If you are interested in going and running into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. Leave No Trace and have fun! YIS, -Mr. Kelly
