SR-1042, the Woodbadge course in October this year, was listed incorrectly. The correct dates are Thu-Sat Oct 7-9 and Thu-Sat Oct 28-30, 2010. This course is this year's only Sunday-observant week-end course.

The updated registration form is available here:  2010 Wood Badge Registration

The National Executive Board recently approved a resolution to change the eligibility requirements for Venturing to ensure consistency among Venturing, high-adventure bases, and other core programs.

The current age and grade eligibility requirement for participation in the Venturing program is 14 years of age and completion of the eighth grade.

Effective May 1, 2010, the minimum age requirement will be changed to 14 years of age, or 13 years of age and completion of the eighth grade. The maximum age for participation remains under 21 years of age.

In support of this change, a list of frequently asked questions is posted at www.scouting.org/venturing.
