Technical Requirements:
- This is a virtual event, scouts must have access to a computer device that has ZOOM previously downloaded, a mike and video that both work and must be on for the entire class. If this can’t be met, do not register, If we can not see the scout, have them discuss, and have them demonstrate, they can’t complete the requirements. Because this is a virtual event, there will be no Blue Cards. Completions and partials will be entered direct into Scoutbook. If your unit does not use Scoutbook for Advancement, do not register as you will not be able to receive credit for any work.
