We’re onBoard… Now what?

Step 1 – Fill out Registration Forms

  • We now offer online registration!
  • All adults that will be regularly attending 124 Redwood Ranger events (or going on any campout) must fill out the adult/rover registration form plus pay the $20 background check fee.
  • After registering with BPSA-US, Rovers and Non-Rover Adults (ie. parents/guardians) will receive an email from Verified Volunteers in order to complete their background check. Adults are not cleared to lead youth scouts until the background check is complete. This takes around one week.

Step 2 – Pay Annual Registration Fee

Step 3 – Print out Release & Liability Forms

  • We need them for every adult and child.  We carry these on us in case of emergencies.
  • You can find release forms HERE. They can be e-filled/e-signed by using a free online service like Adobe Acrobat.
  • Email them back or print them out. Bring to next meeting or mail them in.

Step 4 – Acquire a Uniform

  • We expect it to take a few weeks to get your uniform put together.
  • YOU DO NOT NEED A UNIFORM TO START ATTENDING MEETINGS.
  • Uniform pieces (i.e. shirt) can be purchased online (ie. amazon) or at a retail store(ie. Michaels). Check with your Handbook or section leader for correct colors & where to sew patches. [Otters=Red, Timberwolves=grey, Chipmunks=yellow]

Step 5 – Meet with your Section Leader

  • Get your starting patches, necker & Handbook
  • Go over Health Forms, etc.
  • We’re also looking for more interested section leaders!

Step 6 – Get Your Scout is Invested

  • After your scout meets the minimum Investiture Requirements (see Handbook), your Scout will receive their group patch in a ceremony at a meeting.
