Annual SPI Field Day
Scout Parents Inc invites all Scout BSA and Girl Scout units in the Palos Verdes area to our 58th Annual Scout Skills Field Day. Field Day is designed to test basic outdoor skills of scouts between 11 and 18 years of age. Younger scouts between 9 and 10 years old are also invited to observe and/or participate at Field Day. All scouts will have a chance to earn Participation Patches and various E Excellence Awards.
Procedures
There is a Practice Session in the morning where scouts can visit various Event stations and assess their own abilities. Some instruction is given during the morning, but scouts are expected to prepare for Field Day in advance. A Challenge Session is conducted in the afternoon, where scout proficiencies are tested. Younger scout units such as Webelos and Girl Scout Juniors may opt to skip most of the Challenge Session.
During the morning hours, Scoutmasters and/or Event Managers may be able to sign scouts off on some of their requirements for rank advancement.
All Scout BSA and Girl Scouts are expected to be in full uniform with matching leather or canvas shoes or with appropriate boots. Scouts should bring:
Pencil & Paper
Compass
Personal or Patrol First Aid Kit (recommended)
Scout Knife (optional)
Fire by Friction Kit (optional)
Scouts should also bring their own sack lunches
