-Scouts prepare a 4" x 4" one-color bold logo (troop logo or personal design). This must be emailed as a PDF to Brian Halloran at bhalloran@northernstar.org by November 13th at 8am. Brian will prep your logo on Friday for the following morning. 

-The badge requirement includes producing 20 screen prints. Scouts should bring extra t-shirts from their fellow Scouts. There will be paper provided for anyone that doesn't bring something to print onto. This would be a great opportunity to add a troop logo to any Scouting shirt your Scouts and leaders might want screen printed onto a Scouting T-shirt sleeve. 

-After lunch, we’ll tour a professional screen-printing facility in Stillwater. 

-Transportation help needed: If you are an adult leader at camp and can assist with transporting Scouts for 1–2 hours in the afternoon, please let us know.

- Please note there is a limit of 16 Scouts for this event.  A waitlist will be used once the limit of Scouts is reached. 

- Lunch will not be provided at the event. Scouts attending will need to bring their own bag lunch.

- Scouts attending without a unit should have an adult chaperone on-site.  Units participating in the event should provide at least one adult to be present to assist.
