SCHEDULE OF DAY'S EVENTS

NOTES
1. Registration will not be permitted on the day of the event. In addition, Scouts must attend the classes for which they have been registered. Unless exigent circumstances exist like a class cancellation, Scouts will be asked to leave a class if not listed on the rosters in each counselor’s possession. Any issues with a registration should be addressed with the College Director (Ken Klemm at kklemm@bakerdonelson.com) before the event, if possible.


2. Scouts should review merit badge requirements prior to the event, complete pre-requisites to the extent possible and be ready to discuss requirements with their counselor.


3. Scouts should wear their full Field (“Class A”) uniform and bring paper and pens or pencils to the event.


4. The adult who registered a Scout will receive a list of the Scouts and the requirements completed for each merit badge usually seven to ten days after the event and remains responsible for forwarding this information to each troop’s Scoutmaster and/or Troop Advancement Chair. For those troops requiring completed merit badge cards, Scouts should ask the counselor to complete the card at the end of class. It is the Scout’s responsibility to have the card signed and returned to the troop’s Scoutmaster or Troop Advancement Chair.


5. Merit badge classes may be cancelled on the day of the event if the counselor cannot attend at the last minute or if an insufficient number of Scouts sign up in advance. This situation does not happen often, but, in the event of a cancellation, Scouts must see the College Director to be transferred into a different class.


6. All final paperwork must be returned to a counselor at the scheduled time so that counselors may begin grading the Scouts and completing the merit badge forms. In addition, Scouts remain responsible for arriving at each class in a timely manner and for ensuring the counselor lists the Scout on the class roster with having attended the class.


Merit badge counselors must complete the supplied Merit Badge Class Form for each merit badge class listing the Scouts and the requirements needed for completion. This form will be the official record and should be returned to the registration desk.


Merit badge cards will not be required as the Merit Badge Class Form will serve as the official record of the requirements completed by a Scout. If a Scout requests a merit badge card, the Counselor should complete and sign the merit badge card provided by the Scout. The Scout remains responsible for delivering the completed merit badge card to the troop’s Scoutmaster and/or Advancement Chair.


All merit badge class counselors currently must be registered as a Merit Badge Counselor with the Southeast Louisiana Council or must register as a merit badge counselor with the Southeast Louisiana Council prior to the
College. For more information, please see the Southeast Louisiana Council website or contact the College Director.

Cancellation Policy
The following policy statement is applicable to all council and district activities where a fee is collected by the Southeast Louisiana Council. Online convenience fees (if applicable) are not refundable. All activities are considered non-refundable, unless there is a medical emergency or a death in the immediate family. Refund requests will only be considered if made in writing. A service charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the activity fee will be assessed on all refunds to cover the costs incurred in preparation of the activity and processing the refund. Written refund requests must be submitted prior to the start of any event. Any requests after the activity will be considered only for personal illness or family emergencies. No refund requests will be accepted after ten (10) days following the end of the activity. Consideration for a full (minus charges and costs incurred) refund will be considered for special hardship cases and for advanced-level training courses such as Wood Badge. For major activities that require a non-refundable deposit, such as council contingents to the National Jamboree and Philmont, a full refund less the non-refundable deposit will be considered based on the time of the request and the council’s ability to fill the slot with another participant. If the slot is not able to be filled, no refund will be available. No refunds of any fees are available until 30 days after the event. Refund checks will be issued to the individual or entity paying the original fee within 30 days of receipt of the request pending its approval. Fees are only transferable within the same unit to a Scout or adult leader not currently registered for that specific activity. If an activity is canceled or postponed due to weather, every effort will be made to reschedule the activity. If an activity is canceled and the participant cannot participate during the alternate date, the full fee will be refunded minus any service fees and costs incurred by the event prior to the cancellation. This amount may vary from event to event. Send all refund requests to the Program Director at: tracy.jones@scouting.org.
