Firecrafter Grand Ritual 2027

REGISTRATIONS

All registrations now have to be verified for current Scouting America registration & current Safeguarding Youth Training status for adults.  There is not a quick way to do that currently, it must be done manually by our Professional Advisor.  We also must ensure we have the food and facilities for all participants. That is why registration closes on Friday, August 6th at Midnight, a full week before the event. Late registrations will not be permitted. 

CANDIDATES

Congratulations on your invitation to attend the Firecrafter ritual!  We look forward to sharing this experience with you!

Please bring a Troop Leader Handbook (adults) or a Scout Handbook (youth) and refer to your candidate letter and/or the candidate information on the firecrafter.org website to ensure that you are properly prepared for the ritual!

CHECK-IN

All attendees, regardless of role, must register, check-in upon arrival, and receive a wristband to be worn at all times. For those under the age of 18, a parent should remain with the youth until check-in has been completed. Members, if your dues are not current or the email on file is out of date, you will not be able to register until you contact the Alumni Secretary to correct.  We'll be happy to help you! 

MEDICAL

PLEASE ENSURE YOU BRING A SCOUTING AMERICA HEALTH FORM, PARTS A & B. Health forms for those under the age of 18 must be signed by a parent or guardian! This is required while you are on property for your safety and for our compliance with Scouting America short-term camp standards. You must pick your health form up before departing the event. 

All medications must be brought in their original containers and given to the medical crew at check-in. Medications must be picked up before departing the event.

CHECK-OUT

Youth under the age of 18 must be checked out by a parent or guardian with event staff, even to get food. Youth are not permitted to come and go during Scouting America events. 

Ritual is a weekend experience. The expectation is that everyone will stay until camp clean-up is finished on Sunday morning. Youth will not be permitted to leave on Saturday night except by special prior arrangement and with an over 21 parent or guardian driver. Candidates of all ages are expected to stay until camp clean-up and orientation is finished on Sunday unless prior special arrangements have been made. Adult members attending for Hill only on Saturday night must sign out with event leadership before departure, the procedure for this early checkout will be announced during Hill preparation.

FOOD

There is a "no food" option for those only coming for part of the events and/or planning to bring their own food.  Those under the age of 18 are not permitted to come and go from events, even to get food. Youth under 18 should eat at the event or bring properly secured food to store and prepare themselves at their campsite — refrigeration, food prep, storage, etc. for this will not by provided. All special diets can be accommodated by our cook crew!
