Future Leaders Day '07
The Fort Knox Scouting Community will hold it's 6th Annual Future Leader's Day (FLD07) at Fort Knox during the weekend of 4 AUG 07. As is tradition, this is a FREE EVENT which is OPEN TO ALL YOUTH, everywhere. Thats right, you read it correctly, this is a FREE EVENT. There is no registration fee, admission fee, guilting you into making a donation, nothing. The only fees we forsee would be for Scout units that are CAMPING or for patches. There are other events planned during the weekend, 3-5 AUG 07, which may have a cost associated with them, but they are through the agencies that are offering them (bowling, pool, etc.) All we ask, is that if you are a Pack, Troop, Post or Crew, that you help us out by bringing an activity / event / display / demonstration / exibition for that Saturday, 4 AUG 07. This event is sponsored by the Boy, Cub, and Girl Scouts of the Fort Knox Scouting Community, and is open to ALL Youth of all ages and their Families, they are the focus of this event, since they are the future leaders of the nation. This event will afford afford ALL Youth an opportunity to try new things, learn something, and have FUN and will afford Scouts the opportunity to complete work toward badges, pins, and achievements. The nature of the event is similar to that of an interactive fair, during which there are activities, exhibits, and booths for our Future Leaders. These events are open to ALL youth (not just scouts) and their families. We plan this year to reach a much broader visitor base than just the surrounding areas. As the event is scheduled for the first weekend after school starts, your scouts should be back, and it is also an excellent opportunity for new residents of Kentucky, to find out what the Community has to offer. As an attraction to scouting units, we also hope to draw boys, girls and their families from other locations in Kentucky, as well as surrounding states. **NEW** We are planning on offereing the Fingerprinting Merit Badge and a partial of the Astronomy Merit Badge at FLD07 ***NEW*** Bring your youth group, club, or team out! If you have Scouts, we would Especially like for your Pack, Crew, or Troop to come out and have fun with us, and whether a Girl Scout, Venturer, Cub Scout, or Boy Scout an Event Patch will be available. Click here to see or purchase one of the previous years patches. . You can download a REGISTRATION
form HERE
and mail it in to us along with your payment. We'd like to coordinate with Scout units, and Community organizations to also provide information / education booths or Scout related / achievement producing booths. We won't be able to offer many GREAT SCOUT booths if we don't get units to sign up to RUN them!!! Scout achievement producing / activity booths can be offered by ANY scouting units. These booths will offer an activity corresponding with a task or requirement for a particular level and branch of scouting (i.e. a booth for Tiger Cub Scouts that teaches what to do if lost, to earn an orange bead, or a Cub Scout booth to earn the Art Beltloop). It might address a part of the requirements for an overall badge, patch, or IPA. You can download an Adobe PDF version of some of these requirements HERE. We'd also like to have an area for the Order of the Arrow (last year the local chapter provided their Native American Dance team as an event - the scouts LOVED it!!). All children participating in events should receive a slip of paper stating that they have qualified at the booth. The idea behind this is that:

We are working now to try to get some great participants
for this years event. If you know a buisness or organization that
would like to, or should participate, please contact
us and let us know. We obviously can't guarantee that all of
the events being planned will be able to participate. We will update
this list as things become more "solid", but some of the
events we are trying to have on Saturday include:
If there are other organizations which are not listed here, but would like to participate, we would be honored to include them in Future Leaders Day. This is an opportune time to use this venue to raise awareness, and explain to the world what services are provided by their organization. If you are Planning to bring FRS radios to keep in touch with your scouts, please check our COMMO CARD for frequencies to use. We ask day visitors & campers to use one of the assigned frequencies, to keep the operations & SIMEX frequencies open. For those planning to camp - check out this page! If entering the Post with a lot of equipment, or big trucks/campers/vans, expect to be searched, and don't be concerned. This is a standard procedure and precaution, and as long as you arent a terrorist, you should be OK right? You will, however, need to enter through the Brandenburg Road Gate, or the Wilson Road Gate, or the Gate Guards will turn you around and direct you to those gates (they have better search facilities). For more information about Ft Knox, you can download or read online the visitors guide (click here, or on the link above, left side of the page, that says visit Ft Knox). We know that your organization understands that the Cub, Boy, and Girl Scouts of America instill values and ideals, which are congruent to the values and ideals which are needed by, and essential to becoming productive, effective future leaders in our communities. We sincerely hope that you will assist us in this endeavor to further develop our "Future Leaders" by attending, and hopefully providing an interesting event/display/exhibition for the Scouts, as well as providing a weekend of fun for all of the youth and in attendance. For further information we can be contacted at operations@knoxscouting.com, or 270-268-2165. |
