Logistical Details


Register Online

Registration is open! Please register online by September 21. We require pre-registration (no walk-ins) to allow our volunteer trainers enough time to prepare supplies for the course.

Course fee:

  • Free for adult leaders registered in Mayflower Council, thanks to the activity fee that all of our Scouts pay as part of their annual registration. We’ll just suggest a small donation to help defray the cost of refreshments.
  • $10 for adult leaders registered in other councils, to cover training materials, etc.

If you can’t attend on this date but want to take this training, please check the list for the next opportunity. We hope to see you there!
