It used to be three separate events: Pow wow, Outdoor Skills Institute and Advancement Extravaganza, on three different days. Now all these courses can be found on one Saturday at the Program & Training Conference!

The Program & Training Conference is a one-day supplemental Scout leader training extravaganza! It goes beyond Basic Training for all Scouting adults, providing ideas and how-tos in a wide variety of topics.

The Program & Training Conference is the event of the year to renew knowledge, learn current policies, and share experiences in Scouting. All Scouting adults are invited and encouraged to attend. There will be something for everyone at this, the biggest Scout training event of the year!

How do I sign up for Program & Training Conference?
It would be a good idea to look at the class descriptions and class schedule first and map out which classes you want to take with a couple alternatives and then head on-line to create your schedule! REGISTRATION OPEN NOW.

Class sessions are limited in size and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early for best choices.
Registration MUST be entered on-line no later than November 1st in order to be considered pre-registered and receive the Early-Bird discount off the fee. On-site registrations will be accepted; however you will be limited to what classes are available. We strongly encourage everyone to pre-register so that we can best serve you and fit you into classes that interest you.

Camp Sign-ups
The Program & Training Conference is the first opportunity for your Pack to sign up for the 2011 Cub camping season! There will be more details on how to register and official summer registration materials mailed to Cubmasters and committee chairmen and presented at Roundtables in October and November. Plan ahead and have forms completed and monies collected prior to the Program & Training Conference. We will begin accepting camp reservations at the Program & Training Conference. No reservations will be processed before that day.

Display Area: Not only are there classes at The Program & Training Conference, but there’ll be a number of outside organizations sharing opportunities for den and pack activities. Visit the Display Area to get information for activities such as OMSI, Goodwill, Oregon Coast Aquarium, and more (actual organizations may vary). Also get information here about summer camp, product sales for fundraisers, and other programs.

Joint Registrations: As much as we would like to meet requests to put people in the same class, it is very difficult to do so. Reservations are handled individually, on a first-come, first-served basis. Although we will try to do so, we cannot guarantee that individuals with identical class selections will be given the same schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

On-Site Registration: Registrations will be accepted on-site, but we strongly advise pre-registration. Pre-registering is invaluable to volunteer the Program & Training Conference staff as they plan for the event, and also ensures that you get the classes that most interest you.

Class Schedules: You will create your class schedule as part of the on-line registration process. You will select the classes you want to take and can see the availability as you register. You will print out your schedule as you finish the registration process. Be sure to bring a copy of this schedule with you on the morning of The Program & Training Conference.

What to Wear and Bring: Wear your uniform and comfortable shoes, perhaps a light sweater. Bring a bag or daypack to carry handouts and other trophies and trinkets you pick up. Many people bring cameras or tape recorders. At the very least, bring a notepad and pencil.

Refund Policy: A 75% refund will be issued if written (fax or email) cancellation and request for refund is received at the Portland Service Center by Nov. 1. After Nov. 1, the fee is non-refundable, but you can transfer your registration to another adult.
