A note from one of our partners: Champaign Police are seeking candidates for their 2023 Youth Police Explorers Program. This program offers an excellent opportunity for students aged 14 to 20 years old who may have an interest in a career in law enforcement to gain firsthand knowledge of the profession. Interested applicants can apply online.

Here are a few notes for this year:
Here are a few notes for this year:
- The class schedule is now available. We are happy to share that registration remains $35, despite transportation and supply cost increases in recent years. Information on making payments will be emailed following registration.
- We will use SignUpGenius for registration. On registration day, simply sign up for the desired quantity of each class section - no need to tell us which seats are for which scouts at this point. This should greatly speed up the registration day process. We will follow up in the days after registration to collect the rest of the information and payment.
- Initial Max Seat Limit: To provide the greatest opportunities for scouts from all troops to attend popular classes, troops may sign up for no more than 5 seats in any one class on the first day of registration. After the first day, this limit will be removed and all remaining seats will be available.
- New this year: Adult CPR, Bird Study, Citizenship in Society,
Dentistry, Fish and Wildlife Management, Mammal Study, Robotics,Truck Transportation - Additional sections: Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World
- Not offered: Cooking, Personal Fitness, Railroading, Salesmanship
- Note: We are still finalizing counselors for Architecture
and Dentistry, so the class schedule is subject to change. - Homework: We are still finalizing the list of requirements to be completed during the classes. A preliminary list including homework is available, but is subject to change. We will post the final list here by February 20.
- Onsite Adults: Each troop should have at least two adults who can attend a class to help supervise.
- Bring your own lunch to eat in classroom
- No Friday overnight accommodations
