Family Activities : Makeup

Family Home Activities can be used just to create great family time or to make up for missed Patrol or Troop events. It is not the intent for the family to do all or even most of these activities, although families are welcome to do so and we believe they will derive great benefit from the time spent together. 

• Two Family Home Activities may be used to replace one missed Step or ‘Hit the Trail!’ activity for each Branch Pin or Sylvan Star.  

• No more than one missed Step or one ‘Hit the Trail!’ activity per Branch Pin or Sylvan Star may be replaced in this way. 

• All activities should be completed as a family to the extent possible but, at minimum, a parent or guardian and the Trailman should participate. 

• The Trail Guide has the sole discretion for approving participation in these activities for credit and may require discussion or documentation as he deems necessary.

• Troops can provide a mentor for boys who do not have the option of working through these with a family member or guardian. All Child Safety and Youth Protection Guidelines must be followed, see the Health and Safety Guide (online) for more information.
