{{/each}}Please confirm this information is correct. If not, please advise what information needs to be corrected. Please double check the email address for the parent and the candidate; email is how we primarily follow up with candidates and members.

Each year, if the unit has elected at least one youth candidate, your unit committee can nominate registered unit adult leaders (21 years or older) to the lodge adult selection committee. The number of nominated adults cannot exceed two-thirds of the elected youth candidates, you may round up if necessary. Additionally, the current unit leader (if serving for at least 12 months) can be nominated. The adult selection committee will recommend candidates for induction (with the approval of the Scout Executive), provided all conditions are met.

1. Selection of the adult is based on the ability to perform the necessary functions to help the Order fulfill its purpose and is not for recognition of service (including current and prior achievements and positions).

2. The individual will be an asset to the Order because of demonstrated abilities that fulfill the purpose of the Order.

3. The camping requirements set forth for youth members are fulfilled.

4. The adult leader’s membership will provide a positive example for the growth and development of the youth members of the lodge.
