For rank Scoutmaster Conferences, it is generally preferred that Scouts complete all the sign-offs for that rank, though that is not required. SMC's are available most Tuesdays, so be sure to reach out prior to the meeting so they can be scheduled.
Scoutmaster Conferences for Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class and Star ranks.
Scouts wishing to have an SMC for these ranks are arranged through the ASM Helpdesk by contacting Mr. Jensen at garyljensen@gmail.com. This request should be completed by the Scouts, even if they need to use a parent's email. (Be sure to CC a parent or other trusted adult for Safeguarding Youth email safety)
Scoutmaster Conferences for Scout and Life Ranks:
Scouts wishing to have an SMC for these ranks should contact Mr. Mooring at scoutmaster.st77@oakgrovescouting.org. This process should be completed by the Scouts, even if they need to use a parent's email. (Be sure to CC a parent or other trusted adult for Safeguarding Youth email safety).
For non-rank related SMC's: Please email Mr. Mooring at scoutmaster.st77@oakgrovescouting.org
