Scouts, Parents, Leaders & Friends 
Eagle Scouts, Venturing Scout Summit and Sea Scout Quartermaster award recipients are the honorees for the evening. Their meal is covered, which means they are 100% free. All they need is to be registered for the event.
Parents, leaders, and friends of the honored scout are more than welcome to attend as guests for the event. The guest fee is $40.00 (per person) which includes dinner. Due to the nature of this event, there is no guarantee that you will be sitting with your Eagle Scout, Venturing Scout or Sea Scout. Each scout will be paired up with a mentor prior to the start of the event whom they will sit next to during the entire program. Our goal is to help foster a positive role model opportunity whom they can look to for future advice and guidance in their chosen field. Click here to Register your scout today.
Benefits of Being a Scout Mentor
A Scout Mentor recognizes the achievement of the Eagle Scout, Venturing Scout Summit Award, and Quartermaster Award recipient by:
- Contributing a $100 fee which helps cover the cost of dinner for the Scout and mentor.
- Attending the dinner and sharing their profession with the honoree while fostering future conversation about their goals and career path. If not present, secures a mentor so no Scout is left without on for the evening.
- Inviting a Scout/Venturer/Sea Scout to visit your place of business is encouraged but optional. This will give each Scout a firsthand experience of their future career. Please assure that the Scouting Youth Protection (No one on one contact) is planned prior to the scout’s arrival at your business. One rule of thumb, if the scout is under 18, a parent or guardian must be in attendance and all e-mail conversations are copied to the parent while you are planning the day visit.
- Several companies host larger day visits for more scouts to attend, these allow for larger groups and offer a unique experience. Some have spent the day at a local radio station, automotive company and supplier and others spent the day working a audio visual company. This option has steadily grown of the past few years. If you see this as an option for your company, contact Denver Laabs at Denver.Laabs@scouting.org, he would be happy to help you make the arrangements and send out personal invites to your company.
We need your help to secure 250 mentors for each Eagle Scout, Venturer, Sea Scout. You can help make a difference and set a tone for future success in this honoree life. Click here to Register.
