York District Fall Camporee 2014 Path to Advancement Afternoon Program The afternoon of the Fall Camporee will consist of two programs. One of which is a Life to Eagle program that is designed for seasoned Star and ALL Life rank scouts. This program will help these scouts to better understand the correct steps and procedures to follow on their trail to Eagle. The other afternoon program will be a Polaris style program for younger scouts. Our vision is that each Unit will teach a session in their campsite and Scouts will visit those campsites to participate in whatever session is being taught there. Each session has been created from requirements for, Second Class and First Class as well as task oriented achievements such as Totin Chip and Fireman s Chit. We are asking each Unit to choose one session, based on the outline described below. Our vision is that sessions will be taught by scouts using the EDGE method with adult supervision/presence. Here is an example of how the scouts in your Unit might be divided so everyone participates: Scouts who are Life rank and seasoned Star rank can go to the Life to Eagle program. Scouts who are First Class and new Star scouts can teach your session in camp. Scouts who are Scout,, and Second Class can roam from campsite to campsite to participate in all the training sessions. Please email Bruce Theriault (maineblt@roadrunner.com) and indicate your 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd choices for which session your Unit would like to teach. Choices will be assigned on a first come first server basis. If none of your choices are available, you will be contacted for an alternative choice. Don t forget to include your Unit # and town in your email. Also, please indicate to Bruce approximately how many scouts you have that might attend the Life to Eagle program. Thanks for your commitment to teaching Scouting skills in advance! From York District Advancement Committee
