Full Throttle

Full Throttle is a weekend event for troops, crews, and ships. Scouts spend a half-day participating in program areas and a half-day taking a merit badge class. The camp staff provides the program leadership supported by the unit leaders. Units can camp for the weekend.

Visit the event webpage, https://shacbsa.org/full-throttle for the leader's guide, important information, and what to bring. Announcements, late-breaking information, and links to any emails sent will be at the top of the event page.

Please read this important information.

Volunteers: Merit badge counselors are needed for a successful event. Every troop must provide at least one merit badge counselor.  

Class Schedules: Merit badge classes will open a few weeks before the event after we have recruited merit badge counselors and program volunteers. An email will be sent before class registration opens and an update will be posted at the top of the Full Throttle webpage.

Registering: When prompted, we recommend creating an account and logging in (versus registering as a guest). 

Troop Access: The Scoutmaster, Committee Chair and person the registration concact (person who registers the troop) as access to edit and update the registratiion.

FOS goals: Units that meet their 2025 FOS goal by 3/31/25 will receive a 50% discount off the Scout's registration fee. If you think your unit will meet this goal, pay the deposit, and we will credit $25 per Scout once it is confirmed. 

Program areas:  Scouts can participate in:

• two 1.5-hour program areas
• one 4-hour merit badge

Sometimes, a few Scouts want to attend only merit badge classes or a full-day program. Initially, sign up Scouts for only one merit badge and two program areas so we can ensure we have program for every Scout. On the Friday of the event, schedules can be edited to alllow Scouts to sign up for a second merit badge class or a full day of program. When Scouts are not participating in a program area or merit badge class, the unit leadership is responsible for supervision.
