Departing Your Induction
The Induction will end Sunday morning around 9:30 am. Make arrangements to leave camp at this time. If you have a parent or guardian driving in on Sunday to pick you up, they need to arrive by 9:30 a.m.
You must remain at the Induction until dismissal Sunday morning to receive your membership card and lodge pocket flap.
We understand that some Scouts’ religious observances or other extenuating circumstances preclude them from staying through Sunday morning, and we fully support those convictions.
Permission for an earlier departure time must be obtained in advance, and can only be granted by our Associate Lodge Adviser of Inductions. Should you believe you qualify for an early departure please contact us .
