They may participate in the Friday activities even if they do not stay over; youth simply go home on Friday and return Saturday morning. Event fees are $15 per youth for both days or $10 Saturday only; $5 per adult.

• Fall Merit Badge Pow Wow Planned
  The district advancement committee has planned a fall merit badge pow wow to help youth earn some of the historic badges only available during 2010. The event is slightly different from other formats—badges required for the Eagle Rank will be taught in two-hour blocks. This will ensure the material is taught properly. Because of this, youth may select four 1-hour classes or two 2-hour required badges (or a mixture of both). The event begins on Saturday, September 11 and continues on Saturday, September 25. Sessions will be at either the Cedar Fort LDS building or at a North Saratoga Springs location from 9:30 to 2pm. Youth are encouraged to bring a sack lunch as there will be a 30-minute break at 11:30am. Registration fee is $10 for any combination of badges.
