Youth Chaperone Meetings

Youth/Chaperone Huddles

In addition to the total county meeting held Wednesday morning there will be five youth/chaperone huddles held throughout the event by each chaperone and his or her assigned youth. Youth/chaperone huddles will provide a chance for chaperones and youth to touch bases after sessions, before and after evening activities, before bedtime and just before check out/departure. Youth/chaperone huddles will be held between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. and 10:15 - 11:00 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday and again at 11:15 - 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Counties may wish to hold a county wide meeting as part of their Thursday afternoon huddle time. Counties may also choose to adjust the times slightly to best fit their needs, and all huddles should end by 11:00 p.m. each night.
