Kickoff days announced!

Reminder - Mandatory Online Registration Effective August 1st

Effective August 1, 2023, The Spirit of Adventure Council will strive to simplify Scouting for leaders and to drive usage of the BSA Online Registration System (rather than the old-fashioned paper applications). 

There are three key benefits to moving to online registration:

• Speed

·        Registration is immediate. Youth show up in Scoutbook in 24 hours.

• Accuracy

·        Data Entry is more accurate. Details are input by the parents directly.

• Privacy

·        Personal information is input directly by the parents, and not viewed by others in the unit.

We wanted to announce this now, so that everyone has ample time to learn the online system and make a smooth transition to the online registrations. Over the next few months, we will be rolling out more resources, including trainings and tutorials to help with the change.
